What Mulder uncovers is the most shocking piece of information that he has ever found. On the other end, Scully encounters a similar fate, uncovering the evidence that could disprove everything about Roswell, the Cold War and government activities for the last 50 years. These revelations cause the duo to question their purpose together, and the beginnings of their partnership. And with many fans catching up on early episode reruns on Fox's cable station, FX, Carter's timing is impeccable. Let's not forget the exploits of villain Cancer Man who popped up in short intervals throughout the episode.
Several questions remain.
Whatever happens, don't panic. Week after week engrossing adventures are presented, just as exciting as they were the first go-round. Everything has purpose. This season's premiere admirably mixed a unique brand of suspense and absolute skepticism. Controversy has also brewed outside of the screen, as Duchovny has threatened to leave to move back to Los Angeles to be with wife Tea Leoni, and Gillian Anderson continues to see Hollywood in her future.
