The X-Files: Re-Opened

I am not sure what is going on with broadcast network programmers but I think some are out to kill the sci-fi genre. Over the years I have been shocked by networks, like Fox, where new programming was offered after sporting events. Many times new programs were placed after GOLF (anyone remember hearing "now joining the regularly scheduled programming already in progress"?). Anyone wishing to investigate network shenanigans further should begin by visiting the "FireFly" article at Wikipedia (Fox killed the series claiming low ratings but the series went on break sale records at Amazon). Okay so when I noticed that episode-1 of "X-Files: Re-Opened" would air just after the AFC-NFC playoffs, I recorded everything from 7 PM to midnight. I was previously a fan of the original X-files as well as "The Lone Gunmen" so watched the first episode of Re-Opened expecting to be disappointed. I was wrong. This episode was everything I wanted to see in the previous series "and more". Now here's the kicker: I appear to be the only person in North America who watched episode-1 because no one I know was able to watch it or record it. The situation in Canada is a tiny bit different since episode-1 was shown 5 days later on Friday night on the SPACE channel. If you are able to do so, try to catch up by watching episode-1 online.

So, at first while you're watching you think: «Ok! It is because they need to pay attention of wide audience». But there no any real scary or intriguing moments!

David and Gillian are brilliant actors! Chris Carter is phenomenal screenwriter

But, really! Bring back Steven Spielberg to stage and you will get hundreds million- dollars-success!

Finally, «I want to believe» you will fix this issue in next seasons!

Today is 7 points instead of 1 point (for 9 awesome previous seasons) ...

Mr. bbaker6212 obviously didn't catch the point of episode 3. It was hilarious and great to see the roles reversed. I especially liked the name, Guy Mann. Lol I was confused for a bit, But once I figured out what they were doing It was very entertaining. I may have to watch it again. This was one of my favorite shows Back in the day I just might start back at season 1. I guess I'll just keep writing so I can post this... Ten lines is way more than I need to review something. I am curious what episode four will be like. Should be entertaining nonetheless. Off subject and personal opinion, Gillian Anderson Got a little too much Botox..

I am really excited with the re-opening of the X-Files and there are still lot of topics to be discussed and I am glad to see some familiar faces and also the popular monsters and comedic episodes. With the upcoming closing of Supernatural on it's last season.... sci-fi fans into the supernatural will definitely be looking for a new show to fill the void and what a great idea to bring back X-files to tackle more supernatural ideas combined with conspiracy theories and aliens. Scully and Mulder are definitely more seasoned and they have more experience to show for it and it is also good to see new talented actors and character brought into the re-opened x-files. I will definitely be looking forward to more episodes and I rate this 10 out of 10 and kudos to people on fox on bringing this back in line with the 21st century... The truth is still out there.

Had high expectations from X-Files. Religiously followed the previous editions, but the new one made a decent start but turned horrible by the third episode.

Episode two was kinda OK not great but just OK.

Third episode was a total drag and I was contemplating leaving it in middle but kept thinking that this is X-files and it will become better but I was wrong...

I wish I had turned it off in between.

Acting was not great either what happened to these people. Looks like they have changed writers.

Really disappointed..:-(
