I'm at work with no headphones so I couldn't listen, but only watch... but hey, drones! The X-Files is staying true to form, technologically cutting-edge, which Chris Carter always wanted to make sure was a part of the show...

Verdict on episode 1?

I liked it. :encouragement: Had to catch it on hulu this morning, because even though I told my dvr to tape longer to deal with the delay from the football game, it didn't listen to me. :umm:

Good to see Mulder and Scully again. :thumbs_up:
I like it, too. I'm confused already so right back in form with the old series. ;-D Looking forward to tonight's episode.

Felt like I never left the series. Enjoyed it. Confusion and X-Files are one in the same.;) So far recaps are not being kind to the show--- hmmmmm

I saw a pre show on Fox with writers and some explanation.
The first, last night, and the last are the arc. My Struggles dealt with Mulder- My Struggles 2 will be Scully. We'll have UFO's, monsters, and comedy plus that Mythology arc of first and last.

My Struggles/ Founder's Mutation/ Mulder and Scully Meet the Were- Monster/ Home Again/ Babylon/ My Struggles 2

The stupid NFL game delayed the start and my DVR wasn't clever enough to recalculate, so I'll have to watch the second half OnDemand. I like what I see so far. I've been rewatching the original series over the past year or so -- am midway through S7 -- so I feel pretty well caught up except for the part where
Mulder and Scully have a child?
.

I started my big re-watch before the reboot was announced because I was writing an X-files story for the second of there X-files anthologies IDW is publishing. The timing couldn't have been better.

Do you want to know about the child or wait to watch it in your rewatches?

Amazon has the full series blu ray collection on sale today for $130.00. I want, want, want. But the checkbook says no, no, no. :flat:

I don't think this is giving anything away so haven't done a spoiler, but one of my confusions is that this seems to negate everything that happened in the original conclusion to the series. As long as I pretend that never happened, I think I'll be okay. ;-D
Moderator -- keep watching. In the pre show, Carter promise to "explain" the unexplainable about the original conclusion.

Yes, they had a child, William who was given up for adoption-- protection. It is supposed to be dealt with in the re boot.
