A great comeback with a darker tone, much better than last season's premiere, I hope the whole season keeps up with this and less filler episodes, I BEG!!!
The whole twist with Mulder not being Scully's son father was obvious, from the moment she was abducted we knew she was being submitted to such tests and that was made clear. for me, that was clear. the twist is only on that Cancerman is the father, which is pretty disturbing considering Mulder is also his son. I wish Chris Carter would call it what it is: a rape, instead of cherry-picking words to justify Cancerman actions, but this is sadly predictable considering Carter as whole
Richard Langly channels Max Headroom in the X-Files version of brain uploading which, of course, includes a healthy dose of shadowy conspiracy groups. Not bad, but not really original at this point, either. And on the practical side, Mulder and Scully take down two separate bad guys and in both cases fail to completely incapacitate the guys, and in both cases those guys cause them more trouble as a result. You'd sorta think that they'd have learned by now. Nevertheless, this was a significant improvement over the season premiere, with more humor and none of the clunky dialogue or excessive exposition.
