It was "nice" to see a Scully-centric episode focused on her vulnerability.
Underwhelming pilot. Production “values” shine, but it “feels” like it has been assembled by “amateurs.” Lousy writing by Favreau—beginning to end (just look at the ridiculous start: “That’s me?” Duh!!!) Göransson did good in Black Panther (2018), but the musical score in here is goofy. Not even the CGI effects are outstanding (the spaceship was fantastic, but the creature animation felt clumsy). Cheers to DP Greig Fraser though. The infiltration action sequence and stand-off was unexceptional. Only the baby Yoda at the end is gonna make me return next time. Poor character introduction.
