The X Files Season 10 Episode 6: My Struggle II

5 second plot: Mulder goes missing. Scully finds out that everyone is going to die. Thanks to the chain-smoking dude.

5 second review: Huh? I thought this was a stand alone 6-episode event. But - spoiler alert - it ends in a cliffhanger. That's not cool. The episode feels like a rushed version of the movie Outbreak. Remember that one? The one with the deadly virus. Nothing new, nothing like the X Files I remember, not the new X Files I would like to remember.

IMDb score: 7,3/10

The X-Files Season 1 Episode 2: Founder's Mutation

5 second plot: When a man kills himself under strange circumstances Mulder and Scully are brought in to investigate. They are quickly shut down when the Department of Defense appears to be involved. M & S believe someone is experimenting with/on kids; trying to make 'better' humans by adding some alien to the mix.

5 second review: This is truly a cool X-File episode like back in the good old days. It stills feels a little weird that they just pick up their old job after so many years and after so many things happened that made them stop. The dream sequences about their kid doesn't help make it less weird. BUT. That being said. Cool episode!

The X-Files Season 1 Episode 1: My Struggle

5 second plot: Mulder and Scully are approached by a rich conspiracy theory talk show host. He convinces them to take a look at his evidence. Scully is skeptic. Mulder almost immediately draws the conclusion that all the alien stuff that has been going on for the last 60 years, might not be as alien as he thought it was. He is convinced that he's right this time.

5 second review: This first episode is a bit of a tornado. The constant cryptic back and forth dialogue is overwhelming. Also, everyone seems to run along with everything a bit too easy. But I'm very excited Mulder and Scully are back. The special effects are real impressive. The UFO crash landing (also to be seen in the trailer) is super awesome.
