The X Files NY Comic-Con Season 11 trailer

It's here! The official trailer for the 11th season of The X Files is here and there are so many famailar faces to say but I think I'll just let you see it for yourself.

Here's the trailer:

The X Files returns in 2018 on FOX.

What If: The X-Files "Founder's Mutation"

On the second night of The X-Files two night premiere, Mulder and Scully gets a case that will take them through another personal journey.

"Founder's Mutation" was suppose to be the fifth episode but decided to air it as the second episode, proves to be a smart decision. I will say that this was a lot better than the first episode because it hard more of a case story than what we say in "My Struggle."

The one thing that made me enjoy this episode was the fact that Mulder and Scully's investigation had them dealing with what would have happen if they had kept their son, William. The case dealt with a mysterious death in a government owned program by the Department of Defense, studying the different defects of children.

Scully thinks of what it would have been if she kept William. She would have taken him to school, than quickly move toward when he gets hurt and is taken to a hospital. And in the last sequence, she gets a waking yell from him and asked what's wrong with him as she sees his face turn white with no nose and big eyes, like an alien, or one of those Flesh people from Doctor Who.

For Mulder, they spent an evening watching a movie and asking about how these apes were acting like; than moves toward when they're going to blast a rocket up in the sky and Mulder gives his best JFK impression of his speech of going into space. And the final one was just like what he saw when his sister was taken, William floats in the air and is suddenly gone.

Such a well-told story that gave these two characters the idea of what it would have been like, even though what they have done for William was probably for the best. (If you don't know about the story of William, I best recommend you watch Season Nine or see this clip).  

Besides that storyline, the case story was also intriguing. This wasn't just a kill for the top government secrets, but a secret for a love one. A kid searching for his sister that he has never met before, but both of them have unique abilities.

Kevin, the searcher for his sister, has the ability to get into people's heads but the bad part is that the person that he's in hears a bad high pitch sound. Mulder was one of those that he was communicating.

Mulder and Scully find Kevin and brings him to where her sister is at, the same hospital that they were just in asking questions about these experiments. The doctor takes blood and than takes him to his sister but wasn't really her and that just freaks him out and searches for her. They found each other and but in that scene as the doctor tells Kevin to back off, he pulls that pitch sound in his head. Scully tells him to stop and Molly forces her to the wall and also Mulder, forcing him to go all the way back.

Kevin gives the doctor one terrible bleed from both ears, mouth, nose and eyes. Mulder did say that he saw his eyes pop out, which would have been so cool to see that in there, but there are standards. The DOD takes over and is searching for Kevin and Molly. In the meantime, Mulder kept the blood sample that the doctor took from Kevin at the end.

This episode was really good and way better than the first episode. David and Gillian's performance was just outstanding in the scenes of where they are with their son. It played so well into this episode. Smart move to move this episode up from it's original airing.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

The next episode is consider from critics "an instant classic." That's what the promo said. Hell, I can argue with that since as Scully tells Mulder, "it has a monster in it." I love it when they show monsters, its my favorite thing of the show.

You can catch The X Files Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX.

The Truth Is Still Out There: The X-Files "My Struggle"

First, let me just say that I don't think I was only one who gotten goosebumps from the very beginning of this first episode. From the catch up intro to seeing Scully and Mulder for the first time, just makes me glad that the show is back.

The premiere episode, "My Struggle," deals with the persona of both Mulder and Scully coming to grips with what they thought to believe that turns out to be the complete opposite. Can something that you once believed be a lie?

For Mulder, he's summoned by Tad O'Malley, who's like Bill O'Reilly meets YouTube, wants his input on a case that involves his source, Sveta, that she's been abducted. Not only did Mulder go but Scully went too, and it felt like love at first sight again. But you can see in their eyes that they haven't been together.

As Mulder and Scully listens to Sveta, Mulder seems to be interested again but for Scully, she doesn't seem to want to believe it anymore. When Scully takes some blood from Sveta for testing, Sveta triggers Scully about her and Mulder's life, Mulder looking depressed and telling her that she doesn't know how it feels about being abducted and tested. Scully leans forward with eyes wide open telling her that she does know.

For Scully, tries to not want to believe anything going on and tries to warn Mulder of what could happen if he goes forward with this investigation. She gets the blood test and not only has Sveta's results but her own as well, just to make sure. And even though she lied to Mulder and Sveta of the results, it turned into a chain reaction of the government destroying everything from the spaceship that O'Malley showed Mulder to taking down O'Malley and even taking out Sveta with a spaceship.

Mulder sees that everything that he and Scully have been working on is a lie from the government, that it's not aliens that are hiding but the government using alien tech on humans. He chatted to a doctor that was apart of one alien experiment that happened in 1947 and the outcome just pushed Mulder to get to the bottom of this.

Mulder meets with Scully in the parking lot and looks like hell. After telling her about what's been going on, she tells him that she lied about the test, but they have one who is positive with alien blood and she wants to help take down those SOB's. But soon they get a text from Skinner that they must come in at once.

Looks like The X-Files have reopened once again and a certain someone isn't too happy about that at all. I'm talking about the Cigarette Smoking Man, which has me asking, how the hell did he get out of that blast in the series finale?

This was a very good solid episode. Watching both Mulder and Scully deal with their struggles of getting back to The X-Files. Both David and Gillian were fantastic and looks like they never missed a step when it comes to doing scenes with one another.

It was a real treat to see at the end, CSM still smoking with some assistants and saying that they have a problem.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch The X-Files in it's regular night and time Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX.
