This is probably one of the worst X-files episodes ever. First of all, this episode would not be OK even if there is going to be another 50 new episodes this year. It's just awful.
The so called monster was done so lame that it was almost embarrassing to watch. Watching the re-runs of the X-files in the previous years I always wondered what could they do with a modern technology. Obviously, nothing good. From those saucer in episode 1, to this pathetic excuse for a monster.
Episode is annoying right from the start, with Mulder's whining and explaining some of the X-files as proved hoaxes. And don't get me started on the first scene with those two junkies (nice to have them back again tho, they were regular junkies in the series back in the days). Not interesting at all.
There is no real investigation, there is no real story, just a lot a bs. The Mulder's monologue in apartment with Scully was kind of fun, but it was totally unnecessary. At that point I was really considering watching Arsenal football game instead. And Arsenal is a worst excuse for a serious football team in history.
Long story short, the episode went from bad to horrible once the Mulder persuaded the lizard-man to tell him his story. What a bunch of stupid bs. That is not X-files, that is some stupid 2016. wanna- be deep minded bs. Lizard turning into a man from being bitten by a man? I'm not impressed, but hey, I think we all saw some pretty weird ideas implemented into this show. So that was OK for me. What ruined it completely was poorly written and poorly executed critique of modern society that was presented through lizard-man and his story. Just awful.
First two episode were a combination of hit and miss moments. Episode 3 is just awful. This was a very sad night for me. I never expected X-files to sink so low...
