Like it or not, the X-Files are back

What terrible special effects. Looked like they hadn't updated any FX since the original series.

 

I do hope last night set the rest of the season up nicely.

 

And pretty hot.

 

It was too much talking and putting me to sleep. I trudged through it, but was disappointed.

For those of you who missed the series back in the day, it was amazing. It was great TV before there really started being a lot of great TV.

Many of the old shows could stand alone by themselves because they were not about aliens, which I thought dragged the show down, but about crazy shit that would roll across their desks.

I'm sure many board members here could point people in the direction of great episodes, but this one has always stood out to me.

 

This is a good list...

Recorded but haven't watched it yet.

I sympathize with Anderson on the issue of salary, but the idea that the show ended because of 9/11 and the Bush administration is just kooky talk.

 

I liked the show last night, but I felt like they were trying to cram too much into one hour and it got convoluted. Still pretty good.

 

Count me as one who liked it. Like the change in direction. I was entertained.

 

The entire point of the scheduling is to have it bump up against the end of the football game. They want the football audience at the start of the show.

 

Won't someone think of the nerds? Schedule it so they don't have to watch footba ... yeah I can't finish they one with a straight face. That rant was more because I was recording it based on it starting at 7.

 

Sounds like everyone forgot about the second episode tonight. The "monsters of the week" were a lot more overt in using their powers than I remember from back in the day.

 

DVR'd it and just saw it. Loved it. Harkened back to the original series very well and it was nicely cohesive. I'm intrigued by Mulder and Scully's child story line. Will love to see where they go with that.
