Connoisseur of the show (Seasons 1-6 at least). Am not happy with the direction of this mini-season. Tired bitter Mulder versus snarky Mulder is not working for me. Anderson just seems to be going through the motions.

Writing and plot lines are weaker too. Sadly a disappointment ...at least for me.

It is not a 100% great.

Me? I would have gotten a young Mulder type hero and made Fox Mulder that guy's "Deep Throat". David would co star in some episodes or be the focus of whole episode arcs but he would not be the show's regular star. Because he is 50 years old now and was pretty much put through the psychosocial and emotional wringer by the show's mythology he can't be the eager beaver spry kid.

I wish I worked in Hollyweird. I have such great ways to improve shows - like a show doctor ! LOL!

I am not down on this show - I like it - but it - but I can see why they show may seem off to people after 20 years. But I do like my idea of a new character inheriting Fox Mulder's place in the X-Files and Fox being his mentor.

I like that relationship more than a Scully that is still skeptical.
