The episode Monday night was a “goof”. It was written that way.
I think people are expecting way too much out the show. If you remember the last couple seasons it had grown pretty long in the tooth.
Monday night was the first time in ages my ice was actually laughing out loud at a TV show. That is rare.
Wow, my ice usually just sits there and melts into my scotch.
I loved the 3rd episode — and you’re right, it was a “goof” show. The original series had one or two of those a season and I loved them.
Not only that, the script for the third episode was actually written several years ago, for ABC's reboot of the old '70s show "The Night Stalker" (the show that inspired Chris Carter to make The X-Files). The script was tweaked to fit the different characters, but "Night Stalker" references remained as an homage.
I agree, I really enjoyed the “fun/spoof” Monday show with the “werehuman”
I’m wondering if they are going to bring in the 3 “Lone Gunmen” idiots that were Mulder’s buddies? They were great.
