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.
