When the x-files was announced for a comeback I was afraid I wouldn't be able to appreciate the same format that I was crazy about 20 years ago. But I was worried for no reason. Of course it's not the same. The characters are at different stages in life just like the original audience. Their outlook changed, as it should. I thought this episode was terrific. Whimsical and funny. Mulder goes from automatic believer in the most outrageous explanations to skeptical debunker. Scully goes from reluctant woo woo investigator to excited adventurer. With age comes acceptance of whatever worldview that came about from youthful questioning. Perfect evolution of show, characters and audience. What more can you ask for?
