The M0vie Blog has probably a lot on their plate and just like other bloggers **coughsmecoughs*, hasn’t yet had the time to review the new season of The X-Files. But thankfully there is still a review for, oh, every single other episode of the show AND both movies, so I think I’ll be OK for… Read More The M0vie Blog’s Review of “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”
Although at first I was a little put off by the new, Season 10 episodes of The X-Files, I have to admit that I am starting to reconsider my opinion. I still think the execution was lacking–the first and last episodes of the run were too hurried and not particularly well written, for example, and… Read More Apt. 42’s Review of The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 6: ‘My Struggle II’
I don’t know about you guys, but the six-episode revival of The X-Files has let me feeling a little out of sorts. I was elated to have Mulder and Scully back and there were some definite amazing moments in the Season 10 run. But that’s the thing: I felt that only moments were amazing. Because… Read More The M0vie Blog’s Review of The X-Files, Season 3, Episode 20: ‘’Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space'”
Fine, fine, fine. Yes, I did it again. This week, two questions were submitted to our group of authors, and both of them were inspired, yet again, by the recently completed round of new The X-Files episodes. But yet again, there is nothing paranormal about the answers to either question; one delves once more in… Read More Ask an Author: Double Feature!

What with the new season of The X-Files, it was only natural that I would choose to feature Apt. 42 Revisited‘s review of the first episode of Season 10, an episode that has generated a lot of conversation and disagreement between hard-core fans and a lot of confusion among casual ones. I like the realistic,… Read More Apt. 42’s Review of The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 1: ‘My Struggle’
The hurried and packed nature of first episode of The X-Files revival left me feeling both incredibly happy and a little harried; the second episode left me happy and intrigued; the third episode left me laughing and elated. A brilliant Darin Morgan script was brought to life through great acting from our usual dynamic duo,… Read More TV Review: The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 3: ‘Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster’
Amongst others, FBI agent Dana Scully from The X-Files seems to have had quite an effect on how viewers perceive strong women in general. The “Scully Effect” for example is said to have influenced hundreds if not thousands of medical school and law enforcement training applications. The six posts that made if on this, the… Read More The X-Files Revival Cheat Sheet Number 6: Why Scully is a Feminist Icon
It was so nice seeing a new episode of The X-Files with the season opener, “My Struggle”. But while it revived something I had feared long dead (do you know the number of petitions I signed?) it was also an episode so crammed and cramped it left me feeling dissatisfied—kind of like when you overeat… Read More TV Review: The X-Files, Season 10, Episode 2: ‘Founder’s Mutation’
While hard-core X-Files fans have kept abreast of the show since Season 9 ended in 2002, many fans of the show, while still carrying around fond memories, are having a hard time remembering some of the details of the show. This leads, among others, to some interesting reviews that ask questions that have long been… Read More The X-Files Revival Cheat Sheet Number 5: Infographics galore
With his first new episode of The X-Files in over a decade, Chris Carter jumped straight back into the thick of things, giving viewers next to no time to catch-up or even to breathe.
