The appearance of the Lone Gunmen in that "psilocybin" trip went by so quickly I had to re-watch the episode On Demand to see if it was really they.
That was basically tried in Seasons 8 and 9, with disastrous results. I see the show trying to create a young mirror image with the new pair, but whether they can pull of the same chemistry as Mulder-Scully is a long shot.
I was wondering how they were gong to work the Lone Gunmen in, since they died near at what I thought was the end of the series. I missed it....must have been a milli-second.
The mushroom trip was silly, and at least to an X-Files purist, the whole season has been a tarnish on one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
Makes you wonder how much Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul) must have contributed to X-Files, as these are my favorite shows of the last 10 years.
