The Train Station 8,499 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 How am I going to fit this new Season 11 in my existing blu-ray boxset? Fox was good to leave a space in there for Season 10, but now it's full. They shouldn't make this new season. It'll look out of place in my blu-ray collection. A. A.

mstrox 6,828 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If I recall correctly, we are introduced to Mulder by Scully coming home to him. And they definitely share a scene in bed talking about William (maybe the only thing in the movie that touches on the larger X-Files canon). Haven't seen the movie since it was in theaters, though, and probably wouldn't revisit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't rewatch it, but in the same way that I don't rewatch 98% of the movies and shows that I watch. I also wouldn't rewatch the series, except for maybe some stand-out stand alone episodes.

Jay 38,933 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 The X-Files 11x01 My Struggle III Ehhhhhhhh not as bad as the My Struggle eps from last season but not great. When the episode ended my wife said "this is like a sci-fi soap opera" and that's a pretty good way to sum it up. Not sure how I feel about the last season climactic ending being turning into a vision of Scully, nor about her baby being CSM's and not Mulder's after all this time, etc etc. I don't care about any of that crap any more, I just want to see Mulder and Scully investigate weird stuff every week please. The direction in this episode was kinda funny, like Carter knew there was so much info he wanted to dump out, he had the score be fast-paced the entire time, quickly cut from scene to scene, and had the camera always moving, always zooming around all over the place. Kinda funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 38,933 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 The X-Files 11x02 This Well, that was much better than the season premiere. Actually had a story you could follow, and Mulder and Scully being themselves and actually having fun together. I think Chris Carter (and/or Glen Morgan) has been watching Black Mirror and wanted to do his take on the "AI has rights" stories they've been doing more and more of, probably didn't realize practically the entire season of BM this time around would be about that. I dunno if that aspect of the episode made the most sense, but it was a decent enough mcguffin for them to chase this week. Here's hoping the next batch of episodes are true monster-of-the-week type stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,834 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I completely missed that a new season had even been announced already and only noticed and saw the two episodes a couple of days ago.

Taikomochi 1,185 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Well, considering they erased most of the mythology from the last season in the first 10 minutes of the premiere, I think you’re ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,185 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 That's correct, but that's where most of the mythology was anyway. Nothing of substance was learned before that, not that I can recall, at least, except introducing that pair of annoying proto-Scully-and-Mulder's. I didn't mean the actual episodes were erased, but rather the info they divulged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,828 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I watched the first two last night. The premiere suffered from some of the same problems as the two mythos episodes from last season. Mainly the exposition dump. It wasn’t quite as boring as those two, so that’s a plus. I honestly had no problem with either retcon thing (the fever dream thing gives a sense of urgency to this season and allows us to hit the ground running). The Smoking Man/William thing is fine because I was never really invested in who William’s father was anyway. It was clunking delivered like most of the infodump in the episode. Really, really liked episode 2 - a fairly self-contained story that moved, some slight advancement of the mythology, great interaction between Scully and Mulder, some humor. Maybe not an all-time great, but definitely the second best thing from the rebooted series so far (best so far - Weremonster last year). Calling it now that’s Skinner relayed all of the ep1 information to Mulder/Scully and they’re putting on a show for anyone who might be ears-on.

mstrox 6,828 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Ep 3 - also pretty good! Not an all time great, but a fun hook, a brisk pace, and some really nice Mulder and Scully character stuff. Would have fit in as a solid mid-run episode from the original series.
