It was really bizarre wasn't it, just on a structural standpoint, so many things were wrong. It was written almost as a class in how not to write 42 minutes of television. Mulder... has a weird pointless confrontation, while Scully stands around reciting scientific gobbledegook having spotted a lesion on a soldiers arm and concluding the world is being destroyed by a viral apocalypse none of us had ever heard of before because... JUST BECAUSE OKAY!
But she can cure everybody, somehow, because, one small sample of her blood wasn't enough to detect the alien DNA, they needed a larger sample, and, whut?!
It's been interesting reading the reviews, which are universally condemning. Yet a lo tof the comments from viewers follow the line of 'REVIEWER IS STOOPID! THIS WAS GRATE! REVIEWER SHOULD BE SACKED!" Which, I mean...
It left me with the impression that Fox aimed the X-Files reboot at... how to put it politely.. A sector of the audience that was not us.
I really hope it doesn't come back. That finale was clearly Chris Carter trying to make sure he gets more work by driving the fans into a frenzy to get more episodes made. But truly. I hope it stays dead now.
