Didn't ANYBODY watch the X-Files last night . . . . ?

Its always been about that. And its tiresome. The real government conspiracies are both more mundane and worse than the science fictional ones from the X-Files that it was supposed to be analogizing. There is no overarching grand plot or some Illuninati,. All of the self-serving bureaucrats and government employees sustain, grow, and protect it are just a bureaucracy that has become an meta-organism.

The show doesn't even make a good release from that reality, since the characters are/were agents of that very same bureaucracy.

I know, I know . . . move along . . . nothing to see here . . . . pay no attention to the man behind the curtain . . . . .

OK James, you got the message out, now go back to the Mothership and report all is well . . . . .

This is just a mini series. Read as the X Files feeling up to see if audiences will actually watch the show and to see if they can compete with the rest of TV.


I caught up on Hulu last night, I will definitely be watching this Sunday. Mulder's rant on the government's spying agenda is awkwardly on point.

I found this timeline for anyone not wanting to rewatch all previous 9 seasons.

My neighbor's kid loves the X-Files . . . . . .

I love the new Xfiles and the direction they chose to go. It feels like they never stopped the series.

My daughter pointed out that the media Tad O'malley character seems like he is loosely based on Glenn Beck.
