What's your opinion of the X-Files mini-series premiere?

I liked it! It picked up where it left off, takes me back to the AWESOME 90s :)

Hero angels? How did you become a hero mr.angel?

How is it he looks buffer now?

Scully must return to her former hair color and style. Her hair is totally wrong. Thankfully Mulder shaved for this second episode, because he looked like hell on the first episode. Scully needs to get back into her FBI outfit wherein she looked more professional. I think they need to start slowing down the content because right now they have been throwing every Conspiracy and the kitchen sink out. Give us one at a time.

Data mine much??

I can't believe they spilled the whole season in episode 1.

What do you want? Car chases, explosions, and tits? Typical American moviegoer.

^This^

Many people got reeeeeeally close (as the old man told Mulder) in the 1990s. Then 9/11 happened, and focus shifted.

Duchovny plays a burned out/washed up Mulder ... depressed, maybe a drinker ... he did it well!

I agree on the quality of visual FX, they were great.

Interesting in the 2nd episode we have a kubrick moonlanding connection.

1st episode was good lots of alien stuff but 2nd episode was crap, suddenly they are back in the x-files doing ordinary cases and no longer following the leads they had in the previous episode.

Actually, there was a connection.

The implication was that the DoD was contracting Goldman to work on genetic modification of humans using alien genetic material harvested from Roswell.

A possible link was drawn to William, Scully and Mulder's son who was adopted after he started displaying bizarre telepathic abilities and was subsequently targeted by "alien replicant" Billy Miles.

I think this episode actually tied in nicely with the first. The case they were on went cold with the disappearance of O'Malley and the death of Sveta. They'd have to move forward. This DoD project is a nifty method for creating a standalone story which may actually be a piece in the bigger puzzle.

It was alleged in the first episode that possibly everything which occurred during the original run was a smoke screen created by the military industrial complex to divert attention away from its actions. However, the alien rebels were certainly the real deal. And the virus-born aliens bent on colonization would've been extremely difficult to invent for the sole purpose of deflection. So hopefully we will see what the real alien connection is in the episodes to come.

Darin Morgan wrote one of them. And his were always my favorite episodes in the original series. Never tied into the plot but thematically brilliant. And usually hilarious.

Very nice overview and synopsis!

:Chuck-ThumbsUp:

I'm curious.

Fifteen to twenty years ago when the original X-File series was running, do you believe that you were more naive about CT's than you are today?

If so, do you sometimes miss that "innocence"?

I know I'm late to the party, but just watched the new sunday episode last night and I concur with many of you. Man, it felt like I was watching GLP come to life

:lol1:

When it started...what around 93, I was 11 so,yeah. But the great thing about being exposed to it at that age, was that I really was intrigued by the possibilty that what they were investigating could be. It helped pave my path for where I am now, in terms of CT research. That, coupled with an innate and healthy distrust of authority well, here we are.

Well it took 9 years ('93-'02) to program people for 9/11 so, the way I figure it, 6 episodes... the next false flag should be sometime next week either before or after the airing of the 3rd episode, or either right before or after the airing of the 4th episode.

^*less than 9 years*^

Oh yes ... and a "healthy distrust of authority."!

There have been many false flags ... by a variety of authorities. Surely, there will be more. And, yes; I agree that something eerie seems to loom just over the horizon.

imo definitely very important. Whenever I see "coincidental" stuff like this, it is something important:

1. Premiers on a full moon ... 1.24
2. Has 6 episodes
3. Broadcasted on FOX (6-6-6 in pythagorean numerology)
4. Episodes are 42 minutes long
5. 6th episode airs on 2.22 - ON A FULL MOON

update:

Show apparently started 24 minutes late, at 10:24 PM

AND...

Another show that premiered on the 25th!!! It's called Lucifer and it will air Mondays, RIGHT AFTER the X-Files

[link to www.imdb.com]

Mulder's apartment in the original series was No. 42.

For those saying Mulder seems washed up and possible alcoholic. Well he might be. In the 1st episode he seems like a case for classic depression. But keep in mind, for the past 7 or 8 years he was Hank Moody. A burnt out LA author. That was and alcholic, druggie, womanlier and had a teenage daughter. He's just stuck in the character. LOL
