While the opener delves slightly in the show’s mythology, the second episode goes classic X-Files, forcing viewers to contend with monsters both real and reflective of society’s most pressing philosophical questions. In the first three episodes, the show does little with its many canons, opting to stay procedural heavy, yet it swings wildly between various episode types, making the show feel jarringly disjointed from episode to episode. Luckily, Anderson and Duchovny’s chemistry is as winning as ever - no surprise there - and the pair carry the series, even at its most erratic. Mulder’s obsessive paranoia is apparent from Duchovny’s radiating intensity alone the spliced found-footage video clips that conjure up images of tinfoil hat truthers that he used to sell his theory in the first episode felt beyond the pale, even for Spooky Mulder. Anderson’s over-pronunciation of “Mul-der!” while cocking her head to the side and scolding her erstwhile partner could have been dialed back 50% and new viewers would still have known Scully was the mature half of that relationship.
XFILE REBOOT FULL
The show reunites Mulder, who’s been staying out of sight since splitting up with his better half, and Scully, who’s working as a doctor in Washington, D.C., and drops them back into the extraterrestrial story arc we followed for nine seasons.īut both Duchovny and Anderson are playing Mulder and Scully at full blast - not nearly as effortlessly as they once used to. A world-weary Mulder gives a four-minute voiceover that, while helpful in giving new viewers a quick and dirty backstory, sets a low-energy tone for much of the erratic, exposition-heavy episode.
