Rediscovering the Truth

I have always been an X-Files junkie since the first season. It wasn't a vintage until the second season when every episode seemed like a whole movie. The plots were that good. It kinda lost momentum especially when Mulder kinda left the series. And it never quite gained it back, especially when the story revolved around the loss of his sisters and the Government cover-up plot etc. I wanted them to go back to the simpler stuff.

Then Fringe came along which sort of filled the void. That also ended. So, I had been yearning for a good sci-fi for a while.

Imagine my delight when the announcement came that Mulder and Scully would be reunited. So, I had been eagerly awaiting the next instalment since.

I recorded the two episodes from last week and was only able to watch them last night. It left me with a mixed feeling. It was mainly positive but I thought the story-line could have been paced differently. I prefer them slower and putting in more interesting incidents of the paranormal in between like they used to. Stretch it to more than 6 episodes, allowing the character to develop a bit more since 13 years was a big gap. They had children together for heaven's sake.

Two down, another four to go. Another episode airing this evening. Let's see where it would take us ...
