Gillian is damn hot though. Talk about getting better with age.

Next week looks like a true MOTW episode. I really think this will have a chance to really show how close they can get to the old shows feel.

3rd episode had the highest viewership of the night for any show, with 8.6 million. For reference "Gotham" for Fox in the same time slot was getting half of that.

Here is a link to it breaking world-wide ratings records.

I really liked Mulder's little crisis of beliefs and philosophies.

I loved the episode. Watched it with my wife and her family, we were all cracking up throughout. Glad to see Kumail Nanjiani got a spot on the show, didn't know that was lined up.

Anybody else pick up on the lizard man dressing like Carl Kolchak?

Bizarre episode. Laughed throughout.

That was hilariously weird... Seemed like they were almost poking fun at their original "Monster of the Week" concept. I really liked it. Rhys Darby put on one helluva performance, and completely stole the spotlight.

Scully is so very hot.................

Now that was a good episode. Was representative of a lot of what I liked about the X-Files in its original run.

Has anyone else felt like the new episodes have been a little flat and tv-looking? I haven't seen the show since it originally aired, but I remember it being more cinematic.

They have to do another season. That was classic.

I've been a fan since the day it premiered back in '93 but I don't think I've ever considered it cinematic in any way. They did have some lavish sets (the life size sub breaking through the ice comes to mind) but it was always squarely on the tv side of the entertainment equation, the first movie aside of course. Doesn't help that it was in standard definition back in the day, either; it didn't have the screen area or the resolution to be all that cinematic...

Haven't really felt anything 'off' about the new visuals so far.

The first few seasons look pretty bad. Washed out, standard def, 4:3. The DVD's are nearly unwatchable.

After about 1998 or so, the colors were much better and deeper but I think that has more to do with Post Production. I remember a time when Da Vince cost $1 million dollars. Now, everyone has it as a plugin on their Avid rig.

The new episodes look fine to me.

Episode three was defintely classic X-Files! I watched it twice.

I mean more in terms of lighting and use of shadow than the scope. Maybe 'cinematic' isn't the right word.

I don't know, that SD shittiness might be what I'm missing. The X-Files in my memory had a drab moodiness that the new episodes don't. I have liked them overall though (even the first one).
