The limited return of X-Files is half-over as of last night. I was afraid the newest incarnation was going to be too much like the movies. Serious mythos, with way, way too much interference from mysterious, undefined sources in the government.
My fears were definitely allayed last night. There is no way anybody could tell me they were taking this return too seriously. And that's a very good thing.
Mulder has become the cynic and the skeptic. He sees where he may have wasted most of his life on these cases, and now he needs REAL proof.
Last night, he got it, and we were laughing all the way while watching him attain it. The best episodes were always the funniest ones. Last night was the X-Files at its finest. They may go into a serious story arc now to wrap up this latest incarnation, but that's okay. A well-told adventure yarn is plenty pleasing, too.
Scully? She's just happy to be back to go along for the ride. She never truly believed in any of this. She's there because she likes Mulder.
A very welcome return is the very pleasing result. I would be up to more of these mini-returns on a very regular basis. They've still got it.
