Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGillian Anderson was really keen to return to the character of Dana Scully but was hesitant about signing on for a 20-episode run. When she learned that Fox was only going to do a limited series of just six episodes, she was overjoyed.
- GoofsWhen Mulder arrives at his former X-Files office at the FBI, he kicks at and tears the 'I Want To Believe' poster lying on the ground. However, in The Truth (2002) (end of the series' original unbroken run), Agent John Doggett rolled up the poster and took it with him.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Fox Mulder: [as narrator] My name is Fox Mulder. Since my childhood, I have been obsessed by a controversial global phenomenon. Since my sister disappeared when I was 12 years old... in what I believe was an alien abduction. My obsession took me to the FBI, where I investigated paranormal science cases through the auspices of a unit known as the X-Files. Through this unit, I could continue my work on the alien phenomenon, and the search for my missing sister. In 1993, the FBI sought to impugn my work, bringing in a scientist and medical doctor to debunk it... which only deepened my obsession for the better part of a decade, during which time that agent, Dana Scully, had her own faith tested. In 2002, in a change of direction and policy, the FBI closed the X-Files, and our investigation ceased. But my personal obsession did not.

The story and the plot is easily followable even if it is your first time watching the show, they explain everything with a fast yet organized throwback, the script seems to really having a great potentials with new story each episode (like most Sci-Fi shows) and mysterious new faces with new secrets.
I'v noticed a couple of times in the pilot that Mulder Maybe is trying to make it clear that forget about the last seasons this something new, this is a new conspiracy, which is good for me again as i didn't follow the last series that much but i don't know how the show "lovers" would feel about it ;)
As for the cast, well lets be honest David Duchovny is more than 13 years older than the last time we've seen him on the show, and for me i was used to seeing him with that witty, careless, snarky character in Californication so here he's well the total opposite but still he has that factor of "follow me , and keep it up" so you can't stop yourself waiting for his next move... Gillian Anderson is back too .. and generally the whole cast look original and fit the story of the "X-files" perfectly.
also if you noticed too, the special effects are much better than 13 years ago ;) so that was noticeable in the cinematography part, so we'd expect a much more realistic freaks and much more thrilling explosions.
Finally as a "new series" overall i am down with it and already going to follow it week by week as it has shown so much potentials and it reminded me of "Fringe" which was also a big hit.
so good luck for Fox, even though they don't need it , they're not new at this :D
