I started when the the third episode had come out I heard the first episode was a dud and the third was awesome.
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Wut. I thought I was watching a parody. It was soo over-the-top! I was in disbelief by the end. It's getting rave reviews online by X-Files fans, and I guess it's nice to have a comedy episode (I'm certainly no fan of constant increasingly rubbish mythology episodes), but I found it a bit much :P
Episode 4
Best one yet in my opinion. Solid monster-of-the-week, a bit scary, nice action (source of the shot from the trailer with Mulder and Scully guns and torches out sweeping through a dark building), and a nice non-alien related story progression for Scully.
Episode 5
A gimmick episode with Mulder and Scully teaming up with Malder and Scooly to contact an Islamic extremist suicide bomber in a coma. The subject of the episode was weird and uncomfortable for me, and the Malder and Scooly gimmick was way overplayed and the Scooly actor (Agent Einstein) really wound me up.
Episode 6
Chris Carter doing his usual. Almost hilariously bad! I got literally nothing out of this episode. I didn't enjoy Mulder or Scully, I didn't find it interesting or dramatic or entertaining. Why the hell are Malder and Scooly still in it? It was especially weird watching this episode after binge-watching season 1 of The Strain. It didn't compare favorably.
===Rating===
Eh. There were good episodes and bad ones. Probably a 0 overall, but I'm looking forward (kinda) to the next season.
