They already ruined the mythology IMO. If we can get more gems like Were-Monster then I'm game.

I want to believe, but that last season really shook my faith that they'll ever recapture what used to make the show great. These little mini-seasons with no long-term future plans are pure AIDS for developing a compelling mytharc like back in the day, but hopefully they can at least come up with a few quality MotWs.

The were-monster episode last year was worth the return. I believe I read that episode's writers wrote a couple more this season.

This mytharc storyline is still as dumb and contrived as it was last season. Thank god it's mostly MotWs from here so there's at least a chance of some good stories.

10 minutes in and I feel like I need to re-watch the season from a few years ago.

WTF did I watch last night... was the entire episode a dream/coma sequence? If it was, it still sucked.

Nope but I think the entire last season was, not sure if that is better or worse.

Last season was awesome from beginning to end... not a good start so far, but perhaps there is a twist or resolution coming.

The characters seemed... out of character in this last episode. They seemed to act "unlike" themselves and the smoking man/father plot complication was comical.

I'm now happy to have the show back. There was only one good episode in the first season of the return, but every episode after the premiere this season has been good.

I watched the Skinner episode last night, thought it was pretty good.

was the best ep of the new season easily so far imo. And Haley Joel Osment was pretty good in his role - thought he was washed up but I guess not.

still pales in comparison to any of the better early season X-Files eps, but we take what we can get nowadays.

There's a S4 episode on right now, the contrast in age of the characters is striking.

I think what u noticed is the problem with the re-boot imho. the newer episodes don't have the energy or or the intensity of the early episodes. I know that is by design to a certain extent - mulder and scully are supposed to be older and the eps written as such. but I do think it is a noticeable problem.
