I have been a fan of the X-files for it's entire run, and while many episodes would have been better left on the editing floor, overall the show has been monumental in scope and impact. And then, after a long, long wait, it resurfaces as something entirely unlike anything we remembered, kind of like a bad dream where everything is upside down. Imagine a Blacklist episode where Red is a stand-up comedian and the FBI is a modeling agency and this begins to make sense. The entire world of the X-files is now something else entirely. It's insulting to all of us as fans for so many years to have to suffer through this. Why even revisit the series if the only point is to annihilate any memory of it? If I were a studio exec this charade would be canceled immediately. Have said all of this, I will watch the "season finale" hoping against hope that all of this will be explained away as a very bad dream of Mulder's while in the hands of aliens on a space craft hovering over the Santa Monica pier.
