The X-Files: Babylon (2016)
Season 10, Episode 5
5/10
Not very good.
27 February 2016
When someone tunes in to watch the X-Files they typically expect two government agents to solve bizarre paranormal crime. In this episode though it's a poor tackling of America post 911 for the X-Files to attempt relevancy. The beginning of the episode seemed straight out of 24 instead of a promise of the paranormal.

The main irritation of this episode comes from two younger cardboard cut outs of Mulder and Scully the guy is so generic his name isn't important, and the woman is named Einstein. It's very obvious the torch is supposed to be passed to these two characters to become the new Mulder and Scully but the problem is that they're just poor carbon copies of Mulder and Scully. Devoid of any real personality, substance of intrigue.

The episode ends on some religious pretentious garbage that springs up memories of turkeys from the original series like "Fight Club" and "First Person Shooter"
