One of TV’s most anticipated shows came back this Sunday. Nostalgia was in full force for anyone who grew up watching the X-files. That’s right, the world’s most known sci-fi FBI agents, Scully and Mulder are back! After 14 years of being off the air, we learn that “the truth is still out there.” Things got even more exciting for fans because they found out that the original cast will be on all six episodes this season.
As the premier started, it showed us pictures from all the previous seasons of the show. Agent Fox Mulder was telling us the story of how the X-files started, as well as talking about the original story about how his sister disappeared and that’s when he believed in aliens. He explained how agent Scully got involved with the FBI to assist him. Once the short story ended, the pictures were burned in the final scene.
In the aftermath, the happiness flew when the opening credits rolled, which resulted the fans seeing that they have not changed a thing about the show. They were the exact same credits since the pilot episode back in 1992.
Although as times have changed, so has the shows props. We see them using smartphones, unlike those huge block phones from back in the day. Mulder also had become internet savvy, such as, watching videos on a website or navigating YouTube.
We soon meet a new face, Joel Mchale (The Soup) playing as his normal self—a TV personality host. Of course he had a huge interest in the alien world too, so that’s when he gets in touch with Scully and Mulder.
Later into the episode, we meet a young girl, who becomes ill after finding a random triangle under her navel. Agent Scully has become more of a doctor since the X-files case closed in 2002, but this struck her differently. As she went to meet the girl, she realizes she has more red dots under her navel.
Agent Mulder on the other hand has finally received the chance to see a real UFO that has crashed. Needless to say the show has come back with a bang, and hopefully will last for more than just these 6 episodes.
