The X-Files - Can you go back home?

[Abraham Smashington]

Like Scully sees a dude with a wound and is like "THE END OF THE WORLD IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?! ALL OF MY BELIEFS MEAN SHIT ALSO I AM ALIEN AND I CAN MAKE A VACCINE IN LIKE 10 MINS"

And Joel McHale is all like "IF YOU SEE THESE SHITTY SCRIBBLINGS THEN THAT MEANS CONTRAILS AND ALUMINUM AND YOU'RE GONNA DIE"

Then Mulder is all like "FUCK YOU CSM I WILL DIE BECAUSE YOU WANT ME TO LIVE"

Then CSM is all like "I AM EVIL BUT NOT EVIL BUT I LOOK LIKE SKELETOR AND GUESS WHAT I AM EVIL"

Then Chris Carter is all like "HERE'S A UFO THAT WILL MAKE YOU REMEMBER A SHOT FROM THE ORIGINAL SERIES. HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CLIFFHANGER BECAUSE IN 10 YEARS I HAVE LEARNED NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO MAKE GOOD TV"

[Martin]

lol

Well, do I need to waste time on it Rob?

[Abraham Smashington]

watch episode 3 only. The rest can be skipped. OR watch episode 1, 3, and 6

3 is one of the best standalone episodes in the entire series.

1 and 6 are the only episodes that have any ties for the most part to the mythology and this is where you can tell Chris wanted to make a movie with this story but still can't write for shit.

[Martin]

The fact that Carter STILL can't make good TV is enough to make me avoid it. I'll check ep. 3.

[Abraham Smashington]

yeah, you'll be good with just 3 then.

Man, the more I think about it the more I get angry at this whole revival.

[Fil]

Best I can say about this is at least it was only 6 episodes. It was over quick.

I agree with Rob, episode 3 is all you really need to watch, Martin.

You left out the part where Scully single-handedly stops a riot by saying "hey, guys, don't do this. Let's all go get medicine instead!"

FUCK the finale is infuriating. How can anyone think this was good? What a massive bummer.

[Abraham Smashington]

oh god, you're right. I forgot about the riot scene.

GODDAMMIT CHRIS CARTER

[Ari]

Just finished it last night. If Carter wanted to do a massive worldwide outbreak then why not spend all six episodes on it and give us a fucking conclusion? This shit was so rushed and stupid when it could have been stretched out and given room to breath. I mean, Mulder looks like he's got an hour at most, and NOW THEY HAVE TO FIND HIS FUCKING KID DURING A MASSIVE PANDEMIC?!?!?

It's like they wanted to have their cake and fuck it too. "Let's do a massive story line about the world coming to an end while doing stand alone episodes too." And the Scully/Mulder doppelgangers were cute for a single episode, but now they're recurring characters? Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Were they worried about getting Duchovny & Anderson back, so they created younger versions of them as a back-up? Cause everyone just loved the show when Mulder and Scully left.

I'm the guy who had no problem with Dogget/Reyes. But Miller/Einstein are no Dogget/Reyes.

I finally realized where I recognized Enistein from as well....Can't Hardly Wait.

[gravedigger]

I'm now into the years I haven't seen on the original run- season six. guess I must've stopped watching right after the first movie. The second episode has Bryan Cranston with a bitchin' mustache!

Also you can totally tell they moved production to LA. Everything looks so different.
