I was off on some international adventure and my ex-wife watched it alone. Called me and asked when I was coming home, because this X-Files had just freaked her right the fuck out, and she was locking all the doors and windows etc. She was still freaked out a week later. Which episode was that? Google "X-Files Tooms".

Quoting: Wolf 1776 Are TPTB concerned that too much information will be disseminated to the general public? Will there be another season after the 6 episodes in this season-10 mini-series? What do you think about this new mini-series? Share your opinions here. Remember to watch episode 2 tonight (Monday, 2016-01-25) on Fox at 8 pm EST. Note that the remaining episodes will all air on Mondays. More X-Files info: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] If you missed it, you can still watch it free online. In Canada: [link to www.ctv.ca] In the USA: [link to www.fox.com] I LOVED the X files, bought the entire series on DVD. But I don't have a television. Hopefully I can see it on Netflix or Amazon. I also love David Duchevny. |

Quoting: JeffersunTzu Make no mistake, Carter is not a GLPer, He's is a diehard liberal (See 2 jabs at W. in the episode). He will end up making a mockery of GLP. You could see that Duchovny and Anderson had "lost" their characters. Maybe they will regain their mojo in further episodes. Overall it was just ok... It was a lot of exposition and the episode had no real plot. I know its a "mini-series" but, my understanding is there are supposed to be 4 stand alone episodes bookended by mythology episodes. My opinion kind of mirrors that of the new Star Wars. They could have done anything, and that's the best they came up with? 2.5 Stars out of 5 Whether or not Carter is a liberal, two jabs at dubya does not make him one. :Cthulhu2016: :SCCSA: The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. - HPL |

User ID: 69655740 United States 01/25/2016 03:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Serious pacing issues. Seemed like they tried to pack a lot into the first episode. It was interesting that they went in the direction of the truth movement and explained that the entire alien agenda had been a smoke screen created by the syndicate from the original series. Doesn't really add up with everything that took place throughout the original series. Too many alien events (the black oil, the virus, the alien rebels) could not be explained away as government hoaxes. But I'm sure they will throw us for a loop by the end of it. The first 3 minutes were the best part of the episode. Those UFO scenes were chilling. Makes me yearn even more for a serious film on the UFO phenomenon. It's still never been tackled. Very excited for what's to come. - The Spider Kid |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 59902398 Canada 01/25/2016 03:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.ew.com] In the first return episode, paranormal investigators Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) team up with a charming web-series host named Tad O’Malley (played by the usually comedic Joel McHale, here in a dramatic role). The character, loosely based on conservative online personalities Alex Jones and Glenn Beck, bashes the “liberal media” in the episode; at one point, Mulder compares O’Malley to Fox News host Bill O’Reilly (“What Bill O’Reilly knows about the truth can fill an eyedropper,” O’Malley retorts). |
