It was worth it for the 3rd episode, but holy poo poo Chris Carter wrote some awful episodes.

I'm all for that as long as they get Terry O'Quinn's pencil mustache back as well.

I wonder if Duchovney and Anderson read these scripts and actually thought they were good or if it was just money and/or nostalgia that brought them back.

I thought the UFO was going to blow them all up (like it did the weird fetus girl) and it was going to end that way, with Mulder and Scully and not-Mulder dead and the world being hosed.

In this series at least they didn't seem to do much bedsides crash a ship

What I'm trying to say is it would seem weird for them to go back to slumming in the basement on x files after this, though of course that's what you have acclaimed TV writers for

Let's get it on, honey.
Why was Mitch Pileggi in the opening credits when he had about 5 minutes of screen time in 6 episodes?

I can't think of anything else to even say after the garbage I just watched.

I liked all of the non-Chris Carter episodes. Next season they should let Chris Carter have 1 episode, returning writers 3, and new writers 2. Too bad that will never happen.

Next season they should "George Lucas" Chris Carter. I'm betting Fox actually owns the rights so kick him to the fuckin' curb because he is clearly a pile of hot garbage.

Only halfway through, and I don't even care about spoilers: essentially 30 minutes of nothing but talking, one half-assed terrible action scene, more talking. This is beyond awful.

Didn't that character get killed off between the 2nd & 3rd season?

I remember the 2nd season of millennium being really good television. The 3rd season was dogshit. IIRC Carter took charge of the 3rd season to save the show from flagging ratings. Didn't work.

The entire time I was thinking, "Surely, there has to be more to this bargain basement Alex Jones character, he can't just be a straight-up hero." I was wrong. This was terrible. Chris Carter should jump into a loving ravine.

Yes, and they blew up a different character played by him in the first X-Files movie so we're out of luck there.

That's no obstacle. Nicholas Lea played a MOTW in season 1 before he was cast as Krychek.
