A really good episode tonight. Captured a lot of the old "X-Files Magic". Plus Scully was HOT.

Darrin Morgan episode this week, and he hasn't lost ANY of his touch. 

Very nice homages peppered through, including very strong shout outs to the late Kim Manners and Kolchak the Night Stalker.

Yeah, the headstones behind Mulder was genius.

I had to explain the Kim Manners headstone to the Parents. I couldn't recall if Kim had really died, though! The quote on the stone was so great.  O0

I figured the other tombstones were production crew, too, but I didn't recognize any names. Now I'm wondering if they also passed on since the series folded...  :-\

The Parents recognized the Kolchak outfit instantly. For a series that didn't even quite last a full season...! But then I forget there were two popular theatrical films, first. (Or three? I only recall two.)


I enjoyed the ep immensely as a classic humor ep, with some clever (and occasionally too clever) writing. But I kept being distracted by the insanely sceptical Mulder characterization; and in a mini-season which exists for fans, yet which is built on insulting the fan base, the twee little moments suggesting nothing extra-natural is happening, and maybe it's all in Mulder's head, despite strong evidence otherwise (like the bashed pocketbook -- "Are you on crack?" "...yeah!", that exchange was admittedly great as with most of the dialogue)... well, it just added to the insult.

Going back to a nasty dark ep next time, and I realized I honestly don't care to watch it. The heart of the series has been shotgunned, and the corpse is being paraded around while worn by a madman, or words to that effect.  :buck2: I'd rather just buy the original series on Blu -- and find some place before "The Truth" series finale to hop off.

Another good episode tonight though a little confusing at times. Not really sure if the guy was the monster or the monster was the guy. But this show's starting to grow on me. Again.

Fantastic show tonight. Loved the cameo by The Lone Gunman. Next week the Aliens come back and so probably will the disappointment too.

I tried watching an episode and.. meh. 

The second episode IIRC, since the first one didn't get fully recorded.  Turned it off about halfway through.   :-\

Oh come on. What's not to love? Mulder gets high off of Shrooms then dances in a Country & Western bar, the new Generation X Mulder and Scully, and the Chain-Smoking Man as the River Styx Boatman. I thought I was on Shrooms watching it.

I think I've seen 4-5 of the new episodes, count me amongst the unimpressed.  I'd be surprised if they go forward with additional episodes.  I wanted to believe!
