    Can't wait. The X-Files is, to this day, probably my favorite TV show. I've been looking forward to this for a really long time.

    My favorite episode ever is Jose Chung's From Outer Space. I could watch that episode over and over and not get tired of it.

    I've never been an X-Files fan but my wife likes it but I can tell you guys that IGN said it was pretty awful but hopefully you won't be let down.

    Yeah they really are in a lot of ways. I always liked their Hannibal and Mad Men reviews though. Plus Fargo. They really do overhype crap though and they've yet to realize that COD has been the same game for the last 10 years as well. I think they actually get special access to high profile developers and it causes a conflict of interest.

    Annet is on the X-Files? As if I needed another reason to watch! (I've been infatuated since season 1 of The Americans)

    Sadly, Fox ruined any hope of getting a DVR recording tonight (Way to schedule your big program in a time slot you KNEW would be pre-empted). I'll have to wait for On Demand or a replay.

    edit: NVM, their website has the full episode. Not a bad start.

    See my previous post. :)

    But to elaborate a little, it felt like the X-files, which is the best compliment I could give it. And they did a great job of finding a way to avoid just rehashing what happened before while still making what happened before relevant. I can't wait for the next one tonight. :D

    I read a review this morning that said the first episode was just okay, but the next two are far better.

    It wasn't as great as I expected, but it was good.

    Scully is still hot!!

    Loved the X-Files and really liked the first episode. Glad they used the same introduction, that was awesome.

    Wonder if the lone gunman will make an appearance like the cigarette smoking man did. Good stuff, my sister and I have been talking about this for awhile. I used to mail her holiday cards with nothing but a big "X" on the back and no return address lol!!

    No I'm talking about the show which was VASTLY better than that movie. Gillian played Hannibal's therapist on the show. It is pretty much my favorite show of all time.

    Ha, I was thinking the movie the whole time. I never even heard of the series with the same name, I'll have to check it out if you say it's that good.

    Oh dude it's phenomenal. I mean REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLY awesome. I maybe even like it better than Silence of the Lambs. It was on NBC for 3 seasons. If you like The X-Files I could see you liking it too. If you like Gillian Anderson you will definitely like it as well.
