The X-Files: Re-Opened

Some of the more negative reviews seem to be written by those who take their TV very seriously. I thought the return was a great mix of weird, scary, funny, mysterious, apocalyptic and crazy. Come to think of it, that's what I liked about the original series, too. So now the characters are older, did we expect them to be 20-somethings? It's not the 90s anymore, so the impending doom of the millennium has been and gone. Now the darkness is different. It's bigger. The new young characters are perfectly in tone with the whole charisma of the series: ultra-serious, naive, smart, unintentionally funny (thanks to the writers and actors, it doesn't seem labored), sometimes out-of-control, etc. People wanting to see the original series should buy the DVDs. Me, I'm older too, and I like the new series. I hope it sticks around, and that people can lighten up a bit on the hard-core expectations that it stick to what it "should" be. Thankfully, though, the subtle, self-mocking humor that has always been a part of the series hasn't gone anywhere.

I agree with the person who wondered what the heck is wrong with Fox's scheduling, though. It made no sense at all, unless they were trying to kill the series before it started.

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 really enjoyed the old x-files (till some point, when it started to be kind of repetitive).

When i saw the promos i was really hyped and was thinking to myself "man, they're finally going to end what it was started and blow every viewers mind"

Damn, i was totally wrong.

The first episode got me, and i was like "yeah, cool, seems like we're back in action", little did i know what was to come.

Then, i don't know what happened, it turned out really bad and sad, it looks like Mulder and Scully are tired all the time, seems like they're not even trying. After watching episode 5 i was "really? what the hell? They must've changed the directors, this is bs". They aren't even trying anymore, the episodes stories are BAD, very BAD, has no science or mystery, it seems like it was written by a 12 YO!!

"oh man ouhhohh, lets take some shrooms ehhhhehhh, totally going to work out, genius ehhhh"

• Being a little more serious now, do not expect outstanding performances or episodes with hard work on it. The only thing outstanding here is the series name "X-Files".

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.

Looked good at first episode, OK in second, then things turned horribly wrong in episode 3. It's like a completely different series. Did they change writers or the director? It was trying to be funny and came off like a bad version of Evil Dead or some lame zombie flick. Just awful. If 4th episode is like the 3rd I'm out. I'll leave it to the young zombie/vampire fans.
