The X-Files Season 10

[JDviant]

Third episode is a real legit 'great' episode, even if I found a few moments a little too silly.

[Juice]

This new episode is great.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Sweet Jesus, episode 3 is one of the best episodes they've ever done. Mulder explaining his outlandish hypotheses to a bemused Scully ending in her calling him "batcrap crazy" was glorious.

Just two episodes left for this season

Tonight's episode

When an art gallery that's showing potentially offensive artwork is bombed, Mulder and Scully seek some way to communicate with the comatose bomber in order to prevent a future attack. Meanwhile, a pair of younger FBI agents on the case (guest stars Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose) push Mulder and Scully to examine their own beliefs as Scully seeks answers from neuroscience and Mulder from mysticism in the all-new "Babylon"

All things considered, this season has been excellent. They've really captured the magic of the first three seasons.

Outside of a shaky opener, they've actually managed to turn back the clock 20 years. I can't believe it's almost over already. I really hope a second season is in the works.

The opener was always going to be hampered by the need to tie together the major loose threads and retcon a few superfluous ones, so I was never expecting it to be great.

From what I've read neither David Duchovny or Gillian Anderson will commit to a full season, but are happy to continue with more six-episode mini seasons. If it means more episodes like the last three, I'm definitely all in favour.

Yeah, between the clusterf*** that was season 9, plus the movie, the overarching story definitely needed some cleaning up, so it's understandable.

I read the same thing, and honestly, I'll take quality over quantity at this point. The writing this season has been superb, and Duchovny and Anderson's chemistry is just as good as it was 20 years ago.

The guy playing Agent Miller looked very much like Tom Cruise in his younger years. (Yeah, I know it's Firestorm from The Flash.)

I've really enjoyed the return of the series. The first episode was pretty much all over the place and the second one was somewhat 'meh', but the third episode was full of the fun of the original run. I thought that last week's Trashman episode was a pretty good social commentary/monster of the week episode and this week's Babylon had a good mixture of poignant and humorous moments.

I'll be interested to see if the finale, My Struggle II, improves upon its predecessor. In any event, I'll definitely be buying the mini-season to add to the collection when it comes out.

[Tom Turkey]

Hopefully we get more, because they've managed to hit their stride with just six episodes allotted to them.

[BK From WV]

I have really enjoyed this season and am stoked for the finale next week. Like others have said, I hope they return next year even if it is for another six episodes.

It's interesting, though... reading the forum on IMDB most people seemed to hate "Babylon". I know that that forum is particularly notorious for trolls, but it seems like lots of folks legitimately felt it was one of the 'worst episodes ever'.

Honestly, IMDb is the biggest group of cynics I've ever seen. Nothing's ever good enough for them. Probably not the best place to go for an honest critique of anything.

[andrew8798]

Rating last night was a 2.1. Not bad at all

[andrew8798]

Episode wasn't that good but the Mulder drug trip was great

[andrew8798]

You tell me how could anyone hate this

[andrew8798]

Tonight's episode

The investigations that Mulder and Scully previously began with conspiracy theorist Tad O’Malley have awakened powerful enemies. A widespread panic begins as people all over the country suddenly start falling gravely ill, and Scully must look within to try and find a cure. Meanwhile, Mulder confronts the man whom he believes to be behind it all, but another figure from Mulder and Scully’s past may prove to be the key to their salvation.

Agent Reyes returns in this one

[Beets by Schrute]

It took them a decade to get back on TV, and THAT is how they end it?!!!

[andrew8798]

It sets up the next season
