Nope. Community guy ain't doing it for me either. I heard it gets better.

It's definitely rushed and feels like its trying to be really big really quick but being that it's just six episodes that's not too surprising. I am enjoying it but I will eat it up regardless though.

That was good

Good enough for me to keep watching.


I bet the 6 episodes are a test, just like Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. If the ratings are good (and I bet they will be stellar), they will renew for 12 more episodes next year.

That's what they want you to think.

Slow build... The episode ended stronger than it started, other than what felt like some rushing toward the end. Everything with McHale seemed wooden--even Mulder and Scully seemed less engaged with the show when he was on.

If this were a brand new pilot, it would have been quite meh. As the continuation of a favorite show from my pre-teen and teen years, it'll keep me watching.

Too many cliche notes, weird and nonsensical turns (Scully in the back of the limo sipping champagne?), moving too fast due to only 6 episodes. Mulder being removed from things for some time, then this story pops up and despite some pretty shaky evidence, he's all in. Just didn't do it for me. I'll keep watching, as it's the X Files and it's only 6 episodes, but I hope it gets much better.

I am getting the feeling that Mulder and Skully's child was somewhat "Alien".........

I guess it would.

That first episode was pretty much every conspiracy theory that's ever had a youtube vid crammed into one episode. It felt as if they just pulled from that.

I liked the tie in at the beginning with real world UFO mystery and the lore of the show...

Good to have it back, a bit too much Star Wars Prequel Droney Political Dialogue, but other then that I will definitely watch the next episodes.

I watched some of the marathon on Chiller after the new episode aired.


I had forgotten how good the original was.

Didn't think ep 10.1 was bad at all. Not sure what the reviewer fuss was about. It's the ****ing x-files. What were people expecting?

eDave 01-25-2016 08:11 PM

Did I see the USB bridge in one of the scenes?

Sure-Oz 01-25-2016 09:56 PM

Second episode was better...I'll keep watching
