    Okay, so yesterday/today this piece of a golden era has finally shown itself to us in a form of a new season.
    It's gonna be a short season, but it seems it's gonna be amazing.
    So what do you people think? Did any of you see the 1st episode? And what do you think?
    I believe they started it quite beautifully. That old spark still standing, gave me the chills kinda :D

    *and on a side note. Scully aged quite well

    I was actually kinda disappointed in the episode. But it wasn't so much the episode as how the X-files as a series became worse (in my opinion).
    Basically, my favorite part of the x-files was the "unknown" factor of whether there were aliens. Evidence always added up but was never conclusive in either direction–it came down to if you 'want to believe'. This created an amazing dynamic between the scientific and skeptical Scully and conspiracy Mulder. This inconclusiveness what always made the mythology uncertain and spooky, the uncertainty of whether Mulder was onto something or just crazy.
    IMO this went downhill after the Tunguska episode after it became painfully obvious there were aliens. This also marked a change to a bit more action, not as much research in the episodes. This was not fixed in the new episodes, if anything it was slightly worse.

    The X-Files were one of my favorite series. Then, the Badlaa episode scared me witless. I then could not watch anymore.

    I started reading what you wrote in part Scully voice and part Mulder.. idk why. well I agree ubot the 'unknown' part, but it never much pointed at the alien speculation, it was always human experiments that seemed alien enough. so for them to just openly start with that in the 1st episode was a thrill.
    and idk how they're gonna continue, but I expect it shouldn't be that bad, from the trailer, there should be mysteries

    I saw the episode, and the implications are much scarier and more unverifiable than there being aliens

    Well, what I liked about it was not that there were mysteries, but the possibility that aliens–the axiom upon which Mulder's theories were based–could have never existed. This being always left open ended was what the series' heart was (imo).

    Moulder was what made that show the fact that he is back could mean potentially that some A class television show will be revived, however remember that not all comebacks are great and those shows might not be as popular with this generation as it was before so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping with all my might for the best but I'm maintaining a realistic outlook so if the show bombs I won't fall into "The Pit O' Despair".

    There you have what I think I love the show and hope it does well =D.

    Yeah, that episode was hilarious. Now, anytime I'm having a bad day, I'm just going to watch that and laugh my ass off.
