Gillian Anderson Confirms X-Files Exit: 'This Is It for Me' Or, to put it another way, "I have no idea how to end the series at this point so I'm just gonna keep punting"
Seems crazy to bring back a long-running show known for its unpopular ending without having a plan to make things right. If they had no plans to make a definitive conclusion for the alien plot, why bother at all? The MOTW stories are the best episodes, but they don’t wrap up anything. If the actors want it to be over, 17 episodes is PLENTY to make a more satisfying conclusion.
What is the point of bringing it back and NOT attempting to craft a better conclusion than the season 9 finale? Does Fox actually think these two mini-seasons are a bridge to a new series with Einstein and Miller? If so, they will have lost out on a big opportunity.
All the reviews are saying the first episode is terrible but the rest are much improved over last season. So that’s something!
I liked two episodes... Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster and Home Again. And I didn't mind the two mythology episodes and Founders Mutation. Babylon was one I didn't like but only saw one time.
Well it already went in a pretty fucking wildly different direction last season so wtf Carter make up your mind
More like The eXposition Files, amirite? EDIT: That final twist...woof. Well, at least we got the mythology episode out of the way.
It was shot pretty bad too. Is it a MOTW next or is this Mythology stuff taking over at least the first two episodes?
I’m almost done with Season 1 and the mythology episodes have been some of my favorites. I’m on ep 20 right now and I’ve liked all but a few so far.
