So who watched the new X-Files yesterday?
 

I did - and thought it was pretty good. Anyone else?

In my country this show starts today (one day delay perhaps because of translation). So no spoilers please! :)

I did and loved the plot they set up :thumbsup

Not me ...

I'll watch it tonight.

it was very average television. i'm hoping part 2 is better.


if there was a plot in episode 1, i'd most certainly spoil it for you. but there wasn't.

for those who don't want to wait for the signal to be bounced off an orbital satellite you can watch it here:

The X-Files - TV Series News, Show Information - FOX

Skully looked hot for a GILF.
Mulder looked like he just walked off the set of 'Californication'.

I thought it was great! Looking forward to the 2nd episode tonight.

No spoilers:

I thought it was pretty good. I had just watched a few episodes of the old show prior to the premiere last night. They did a good job. It "felt" and "looked" like the X-files. The acting was good and the story and plot are building up nicely. All the actors are older of course but still looking good. I saw Gillian Anderson at Fan Expo last September and she looks amazing. num num num..

I think it was too fast paced, they told a lot in those 45 minutes, they could have easily made a 70-90 minute "pilot" out of it.. but it was good.
Also they showed a little too much, I mean in the old X-files episodes there were only hints, dark shapes/figures etc.. but that's maybe because CGI was expensive + shitty back then :)

Plot buildup? Tad sold them on the biggest conspiracy ever in like 45 seconds causing mulder to instantly go all in like a ct nutter.

I'm glad it felt like the old X Files - They didn't crank it up too much - Definitely enjoyed it...

yup, looks good so far

I can't remember the last time I was this excited.

Gillian Anderson was almost unrecognizable to me. Does anyone know if she's had plastic surgery? I'm still trying to figure out why she looks so different.

She looks fine to me.

I've been seeing her in a recurring role on "Hannibal"

I think she looks pretty hot. Much better than she did when she was younger.

X-Files is still on? I thought that ended in the early 2000s.

It's back! How can you not have heard about this?

Thought it was familiar to the previous.not a huge fan but it was ok

Whoa...

Sweet, I get to see Scully again.

Watched it and loved it.

SPOILER:

Why wouldn't the old man tell the story to Mulder and say "you are close"? I mean his reasoning was that people would mock them, but that same mocking would happen if/when Mulder find it out by himself (for which the old man roots).
So it does not make any sense for the old man not to tell him and save time.

I mean I understand that this was done for the sake of showing how Mulder finds out the truth, but it did not make any logical sense in general. In my books that is huge illogical error in screenplay.

Wasn't it an interview with Sveta that turned him on as a ct nutter? Tad was selling the story of alien abductions and Mukder was not sold instantly. Then he interviewed Sveta and found out it was not alien, but human abductions which turned him on instantly.

I'm hooked like I used to be. Hope they extend this for like ten more years.

Good point, there were several of those monologues. Tad's monologue got mulder to cave into interviewing sveta and her monologue sold mulder.

Donr get me wrong, it was OK television. I can't really see the big plot set up though when it was just blurted out and bought. Next. Both are good actors too but I thought they phoned in some of it.

I'm thinking tonight's episode will be more intense.

Sveta didn't look nearly as hot as she does in The Americans. And we never got to see her ass in the x-files like we do throughout The Americans. Because of this, her role in the x-files has a negative boner rating of 5.4

Was thinking the same!

Tonight's episode im liking a lot more than last nite's already.

I missed it - what happened in episode 2?

OK, that was good!

I dunno, I blacked out after the one dude's eyeballs popped out!

Is that a quote from Fox or from you :1orglaugh

No spoilers! Ahah!

no spoiler but it is the last thing I am talking about before I go to bed, lets see if it is in my dreams now :1orglaugh

Hah!

I was just joshing around with the no spoilers comment, it was a good and creepy episode.

I am watching it now - pretty good so far!

Here it will to the air later today!

Just watched episode 2 and not really impressed. The first episode showed promise but I was a bit let down after watching the 2nd espisode

Even if it turns out to be crap, I still can't wait to watch it. Brings back memories.

Cant wait to see it either

The first and the last episodes will be about the mythology (UFO's, conspiracy and shit), the rest will be weekly-monster episodes.. (this season has 6 episodes only)

I completely forgot to PVR EP2. Dammit.

Personally I always liked most the off-story episodes. Hope to see 'em in the new season.

It really stinks, but as a big X Files fan, I'm going watch out of curiosity.

Bad dialogue, confusing and nonsensical plotting and two phoned in performances by otherwise good actors. They should have gotten Vince Gilligan involved.

Gillian Anderson still looking good :thumbsup

ditto :2 cents:

This probably illustrates how much better todays top shows are. X files was a top for those days, but in todays market it is just average (even if we assume that it is still a bit better than old xfiles).

I am not happy with ep1, but i guess this will be short season so they need do a fast lines

and that's it.

It's 90's TV, but it needed to reach for a new level -- and didn't even try.

the ct nutter is well represented online, agent mulder isn't unique anymore. certainly not compelling. He's a fine actor, both are, but as mentioned, they're both phoning it in. in particular, the dialogue/interaction between mulder and skinner is not just bad, it's really really bad.

Episode 2 was great!
