Well, the tenth season is finished. My opinions are as follow.
CONS:
-
There weren’t enough episodes. Granted, Duchovny and Anderson already had a lot on their plate and couldn’t work much more into their schedule. Still, it would have been nice to have gotten six more episodes or so.
-
The second-to-last episode with the comatose terrorist was pretty weak. It reminds me of one of the typical Season 7 episodes. The Lone Gunmen cameo was pretty cringeworthy, too, though I did enjoy the rest of Mulder’s wacked-out trip.
-
I don’t like Agent Einstein and am pretty much indifferent to mini-Mulder (can’t be bothered to recall his name). If they’re meant to be the new Mulder & Scully, then Carter’s barking up the wrong X-file.
-
To be honest, I’m not at all that bothered by the new direction the mytharc has taken; I rather like the idea of rogue human elements within the government abusing stolen alien technology over the Colonist stuff from the earlier seasons. However, I think Carter should have ran with the idea then instead of shoehorning it in now without any clear notion given of how it all fits together with older episodes.
-
Needed more Skinner.
-
Would have liked to have seen more Reyes.
-
That’s some skin graft ol’ Smokey got there.
PROS:
- Everything else. I enjoyed seeing Mulder & Scully back together on the small screen again.
Here’s hoping an eleventh season follows soon – a longer season.
