    This whole Season 10 mini-series was a waste. It feels like it was done out of some forced obligation, like Chris Carter lost a bet and some nerd held him to doing a 6-ep mini-series. Duchovny and Anderson seemed old and tired. Gillian's voice sounded labored as if she has a chronic respiratory problem. It may have been better if the short season was devoted to the alien theme but again,This whole Season 10 mini-series was a waste.

It may have been better if the short season was devoted to the alien theme but again, the nerd who won the bet probably made Chris do these silly monster-of-the-week diversions. Horrible, just horrible. Now, FF 20 yrs and JJ Abrams will get green-lighted to do a reboot, ugh.… Expand

    there are some very good episodes from the season 3 to season 5, in the better Twilight Zone style, and some good episodes in some others seasons too, but that's it. The main story behind the series, the conspiracy, is very bad with a lot of gaps that only begin to be explained in the 5th season and as they go deeper in it, it becomes more and more stupid.

If they had never tried to create this main story and kept doing episodes about mysterious phenomenons it would be a nice series, or maybe if they could create a convincing and interesting story.… Expand

    If the producers can keep the mood spooky, this show will have its devoted adherents. Deservedly so.

    But the paranormal is not what counts. It's the FBI agents who matter -- they're one of TV's most interesting twentysomething couples. [10 Sept 1993, p.1D]

    The X-Files gets off to a pleasingly creepy start tonight. But even spookier is the thought that some people will mistake it for a documentary. [10 Sept 1993, p.E1]
