It's been stated a couple times now, but again for those of you not aware, there is and has always been three types of X-Files episodes
1) Mythology Episodes (e.g. Pilot, Duane Barry, Nisei, Closure)
2) Monster of the Week Episodes (e.g. Squeeze / Tooms, The Host, Detour, Folie a Deux)
3) Comedic [Monster of the Week] Episodes (e.g. Humbug, Jose Chung’s From Outer Space, Bad Blood)
This episode obviously fell into the third category.
That information aside, I feel like this was very close to hitting that nostalgic feeling of the earlier comedic episodes - but didn't quite make it. I definitely enjoyed it, laughed a lot, and watched it a second and third time. But I still feel like the second episode of this season is the strongest so far, then this one following, and the premiere tailing. I certainly can understand how newer fans of the show may be turned off by this one though - they're wanting aliens, conspiracies, flesh eating monsters, etc. But personally, I didn't think it was that bad.
Actually it was surprisingly pretty good! Very familiar to the first season, but soundtrack is far better and the plot is more organized.
The premiere hinted at a return to the best parts of the first season.
Matt Bomer and Lady Gaga are the hottest part of this
