It has always had it's humor, but if feels like they are pushing too much humor which for me takes away from the mystery and sense of danger it has always had.

Yes episodes 2-5 were on the light side. The season finale looks like they will focus on the conspiracy theory

What in the goddamn fuck. I'll just pretend half of the new episodes didn't happen. The finale was messy crap.

omg! My Struggle II was fabulous!!!!! it encapsulates everything the X-Files have been about all these years and brings it right up to the moment mulder has been waiting for. this canNOT be the end of the story.... will they really just leave us hanging????

They left the fans completely hanging.

That last episode was very disjointed.

i thought it was like they pulled plot themes from the entire series and wove them all together into a cool cliff-hanger... i just can't believe that they might leave us wondering like that.

.

i thought it was interesting they mention chemtrails; i recently watched a documentary on weather modification efforts and the result. weather modification is being practiced around the world, and the result is aluminum (among other) contamination we now find in our water and land. i think chris carter makes some interesting points

Well the return was everything the old series was .. I thought the finale was perfect way to end it ... Unfortunately the finale joins the episode "home" as one i doubt i will watch again due to the grossness .. I have to block the tv screen with my hand every time he throat smokes ... Then he goes and removes his face .. Just brutal .... Loved the end where mulder and us finaly have all our answers .. Just perfect

it was brutal!! yuk. but even so i don't know why mulder refused his help though, honor is one thing, but why refuse a life-saving treatment?

Glad I watched "Supergirl" instead. Great show!

I liked it, it's gotta come back can't just end like that

Well they said it was the Season Finale and not Series Finale so there should me more X-Files hopefully

Saw the fourth episode last night. It had more on an old-skool X-Files feel to it, but it felt like X-Files Lite or something. Not great, but not as bad as the three before it.

You outgrew X-Files.

It's OK to admit that.

It would be a very bold way to end the series--humans on the brink of extinction and then the aliens arrive in front of everyone. THE END. haha.

Well, I lost interest in the original at some point during I think the third series. So if my outgrowing it is the problem, and it's not simply that the new ones are shit, then I did that 20 years ago. Edited afterthought - actually, now I think about it your hypothesis can be rejected out of hand as I've been rewatching, and enjoying, the old ones. [Edited 3/1/16 11:58am]

In it's original run I think the X-Files should have never continue the Series with Doggit and Reyes

The last of the new season was on TV here in the UK last night. I'm not sure if it was the worst episode or not, as that one with the werelizard was also dismal. I think I'll give it a miss, should it continue. Hugely disappointed by the return of the X-Files.

.

it definitely got lamer when mulder and skully were replaced.

.

i wondered about the two new characters, einstein and whatsisface - could they possibly be the 'next' mulder and scully when XFiles continues?

.

can't wait for the next season.

.

and by the way maybe it's only me but aren't the 'seasons' getting shorter?

the night stalker was one of my favs. i wonder if this is a deliberate reference to the show or just a coincidental copycat?

I doubt it was a coincident. I mean everything shouts out Kolchak. I know Darren McGavin appeared on the X-Files a couple of time as the character of Arthur Dales. I thought it was such a waisted opprotunity not to have Darren McGavin play Kolchak on the X-Files. You could have it where Mulder could have investigated one of Kolchak old cases and have them team up.

Chris Carter actually tried to make that happen, but rights issues prevented it from becoming reality. That was why he ultimately cast McGavin as Dales. Carter always said that Kolchak, Twilight Zone and Twin Peaks were the biggest inspirations for the X-Files (it should be noted that Carter also looked into having Mulder and Scully visit Twin Peaks, but again...rights issues)

I think a lot creators of TV shows about the supernatural were fans of Kolchak and the Twilight Zone. Yes makes a lot of sense of rights issues of using Kolchak, to bad. Didn't heard about a twin peaks crossover possibilty but I can see it. I remember they almost had a crossover episode dealing about cows for Picket Fences and the X-Files. I think FOX studios nixed it on the X-Files side but on CBS Picket Fences aired the episode and kinda mentioned the FBI (not saying it was Mulder and Scully) looking into weird cow births.

Yeah, the Picket Fences episode "Away in a Manger" was originally supposed to be a full-on crossover, but it was nixed by CBS. The X-Files episode "The Red Museum" was originally part of it. They had to do last minute rewrites on both shows, but still found a way to reference the events on PF that happened on XF. From https://en.wikipedia.org/...Red_Museum :

This episode was originally intended to be a crossover episode with the CBS show Picket Fences, which was set in another town in Wisconsin.^[3][4] David E. Kelley, the series creator of Picket Fences, and Chris Carter, the series creator of The X-Files, were talking in a parking lot and thought it might be interesting to have Mulder and Scully visit Rome, Wisconsin for an X-Files episode.^[4] Unlike a traditional crossover, the two shows would be shot with different viewpoints and one would be aired as an X-Files episode and the other as an episode of Picket Fences.^[4] Ultimately, CBS decided against the crossover and both episodes created ended up becoming stand-alones.^[3] Executive producer Robert Goodwin said of the experience "I spent days on the phone with a producer of Picket Fences. We spent days organizing our schedules. Then at the very last minute, of course, we found out that no one had told CBS, and they said 'Forget it. We're having enough trouble on Friday nights without publicizing The X-Files.' It's too bad."^[5] The Picket Fences episode intended to be part of the crossover was called "Away in the Manger" and aired the week following "Red Museum." While every reference to Picket Fences has been purged from the X-Files episode, there still are some small winks left in the Picket Fences episode referring to the happenings at the X-Files, including a mention of Dr. Larson.^[4] Ladner, British Columbia served as a location for Delta Glen, while the beef processing plant was shot in a facility in Cloverdale, with the local employees being used for the butchering and cleaning up scenes.^[6]
