‘What Happens Later’ Review: A Decent Layover

Some actresses are legends within the romantic comedy genre. Meg Ryan is one of them. Now, after a significant absence from acting, she returns to the screen and the familiar genre with her new film. Though What Happens Later doesn’t…

‘The X-Files’ 11×10 Review: So Long, and Thanks for All the Pain?

I wondered, for a long time, how this day would feel. The X-Files has meant so much to me for so long that I always figured the closing of this chapter in my life, the absolute certainty that this is…

‘The X-Files’ 11×09 Review: This Shit Is Almost Over

Chris Carter, or maybe The X-Files in general, are like that one night stand you really, really enjoyed while it was happening, but have regretted every second since. This is a terrible comparison to make for me, especially, because I…

‘The X-Files’ 11×08 Review: (Un) Familiar Snoozefest

So often it feels like there are only two kinds of episodes of TV: the really, really good ones, or the terrible ones. Sadly, that is not the case, because both those options make for easier reviews than the one…

‘The X-Files’ 11×05 Review: This William Nonsense

It made no sense then, it makes even less sense now. Welcome to the William arc, aka the most ridiculous thing The X-Files ever tried to pull on us, a tall order when you remember all the things CC actually…

‘The X-Files’ 11×02 Review: This is Better Than The Other Thing

Once Upon A Time, a long, long time ago, when I was a kid too young to be watching The X-Files and probably didn’t understand a thing of what was actually going on, I actually enjoyed mythology episodes. Of course,…

David Duchovny Talks ‘The X-Files’ Season 11 and a World that’s Receptive to Mulder

Fox Mulder was always an outsider. That was not just part of his charm, that was one of the things that made the show feel so distinctly sci-fi twenty something years ago, when our faith in the government and its…

‘The X Files’ Renewed for Season 11

Today is the day where dreams come true. And fine, I’m being hyperbolic, because we all figured this was coming, it was only a matter of time – but The X-Files are coming back for a season 11, and with…

‘The X-Files’ Season 10 Finale Review: My Struggle II

The X-Files is over and we’re not ok. Let’s talk about it. The X-Files season finale had an intro like no other. “My Struggle II” opened up with a recounting of Mulder and Scully’s journey through the paranormal and spooky.…

‘The X-Files’ 10×05 Review “Babylon”

Let’s start off by saying that The X-Files isn’t afraid to cover any topic that comes it’s way. In this revival of the series they’ve made it a point of addressing issues that affect our world today and technologies that…

‘The X-Files’ Review “Home Again”

I always tend to judge episodes by the emotions they evoke in me. Sure, some episodes are better plotted, and some are better acted, but the mark of a brilliant episode, is in the emotions. My emotions, not the characters.…

‘The X-Files’ Teases Scully’s Alien DNA

FOX sure knows how to up the stakes. Bring up the Alien DNA! On paper, debuting new footage for the last episode of this 6-episode revival of The X-Files during the Super Bowl was a bad idea. Everyone was busy watching…

‘The X-Files’ Review: “Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster”

Are you done laughing? I’m not quite done. I need like a minute. Or, quite possibly, twenty. If this The X-Files “mini-series” was meant to showcase the best of what this show had to offer, both in the conspiracy, in…

The X-Files “Founder’s Mutation” Review

Welcome back, The X-Files. Welcome back unexplained phenomena, welcome back Skinner with his awful poker face, welcome back Mulder jumping to conclusions. Welcome back, The X-Files. We’d really, really missed you. Episode Two couldn’t have been more different from the…

‘The X-Files’ 10×01 Review “My Struggle”

It’s been a while. In fact, it’s been too long. Twenty three years ago, I saw the second episode of the X-Files, “Deep Throat,” the day after it aired. I’ve been a fan ever since. As such, it’s hard to…
