What Cagliostro did, on the other hand, was revive the flagging franchise and bring in more Lupin fans. Give credit where credit is due. At least with Duchovny's writing, he has a story to tell. I mean, I really hated this episode. The X-Files has always had a large female fan following, as well as a male fan following.
More females watch it than perhaps most other science fiction series.
I quite liked it in fact. One thing The X-Files is very good at doing is throwing curves, changing pace, and sometimes just doing weird, bizarre things. I applaud Anderson's directorial debut, and am looking forward to her next episode. It is faithful to the original and the animation is downright incredible. It misses all the Hollywood junk that the movie contained.
