I imagine it will be addressed in the next 5 episodes, but I'll wait to get it organically from my rewatch.
I saw it last night and liked it! Second episode tonight 
At least you're not confused.I wanted to watch, but fell asleep during that exciting football game last night......
Thoughts on episode #2- Founder's Mutation.................
Just remember, that was a "dream sequence" for first Scully and her son/ later Mulder and his son.
The 16th episode of season 9 explains about William and his adoption.
When we watched the first episode both David and I happy clapped when they played the original beginning.
Last nights episode was hilarious! I just loved it.I think Gillian Anderson looks even better than she did when she was younger (go her!) But of course as soon as it ended I started pestering David with questions.I am so confused.I thought with it being only six episodes(sniff) that it was going to just follow along the storyline of the first two but then.....last night happened.The reply I got to my questions was..."Uh...it's the X-Files." 
I guess I will just enjoy the ride but I think it it very unfair of them to get all of us all excited with this coming back to TV and not making it permanant.

It was my understanding, from read articles, that the first and last episodes would be the mythology, the rest would touch upon the continuing themes a little. Last night was the stand alone comedy of the series. Have you search for recaps on the episodes? There are some really good one-- in depth.When we watched the first episode both David and I happy clapped when they played the original beginning.
Holy cow that was hilarious. So many fun little set pieces. The stoners (who have played stoners on two previous episodes). The motel manager. The psychologist (I don't think the antidepressants did him much good. He seemed pretttty crazy!). That has to go down as one of the (if not THE) funniest episode ever. Well done.
Loved it--just the right amount of quirkiness. I'm wondering if "Mulder, the internet isn't good for you" is going to become a recurring line. I don't mind it--in fact, it makes me smile when she says it.
Hilarious that the classic X-files theme is his ring tone.
Was that a heads up to Kolchak Night Stalker? Guy Mann's was wearing the same outfit the McGavins wore in the show.
Like the way Scully referred to it as MY poster "Mulder, what are you doing to my poster." as he throws pencil at it.
Still can't look at a port potty without thinking SK.
My favourite line of the show.
How about Mulder complaining to Scully that twice she went alone to face trouble without back up, and she says something like "don't you know I'm immortal?" in reference to "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (he could see how people were going to die, and revealed to Mulder that he would die of auto-erotic asphyxiation, and later Scully relents, and asks "Ok, so how am I going to die?" He responds "You don't.")
Only two more episodes to go.
Home Again- wow, so many unanswered questions for Scully. I found the episode to be very touching in places and very poignant in others.

I do hope, that at some point in time, they will explain the significance. Have racked my brain to the original episodes and do not recall anything that might be a possible clue.
There were hints last year that one of the episodes would revisit the classic "Home" episode, but I think someone was mislead by the episode title. This was "Home Again," but it had nothing to do with that earlier episode.
It's only just started airing over here (and it'll clash with The Walking Dead from this Monday, so the on-broadcast viewing figures will probably drop through the floor).
I'd read that the first ep was average to terrible, but as a reintroduction I didn't mind it. The one thing that was very un-X Files for me was
. Apart from that, the feel was pretty much the same - though some of the dialogue was a bit dodgy.
If I'm picking holes, though, I did find it a bit strange that Mulder would have a smartphone, given what those things can do/be used for.
.
But despite the gripes I know I'll be back next week, and the week after, and the week after, because, hey, it's The X Files. Even when it sucks, it doesn't.
(I was a bit concerned when some of Mulder's thoughts echoed my own about the way the world's gone, though. Being on the same page as ol' Fox...well that can't be good, right?)

the way they made the Roswell incident and existence of both UFOs and aliens explicit, when in the original series such things were only ever implied and were part of 'the truth' that Mulder was always after, and often went contradicted other cases due to 'the conspiracy
If I'm picking holes, though, I did find it a bit strange that Mulder would have a smartphone, given what those things can do/be used for.
It was also a little strange that he didn't keep the TV personality at more of a distance; in the old days, Mulder would have been thinking he was a mouthpiece to deflect attention from the truth right from the off. Add in the "everything we've been led to believe is wrong" stuff, when originally they weren't led to believe anything re: aliens (the whole idea being that 'the govt behind the govt' was working hard to keep it covered up), and yeah, it kind of took the edge off the excitement of having it back
