I was a big fan of the x files years ago, I think I watched every episode, some gave me nightmares when I was younger. 

 

Have to say I liked the first 5 episodes so far,

Very touching final scene in this week's episode.

Another respectable, solid episode.  I think Season 11 is such an improvement over Season 10 because the writers are just trying to tell decent stories  every week, as if this were the middle of an open-ended series, rather than laboring under the pressure to Complete The Saga.  I'm good with that.

Just hoping Chris Carter doesn't botch the landing in a couple of weeks (like was done the last 2 times the X-Files ended)

Finally caught this week's episode on On Demand.

That is more blood and body parts than I have ever seen on an X-Files episode.

Only caught up with the first four episodes and enjoying it so far - the Mandela Effect episode was hilarious.

I enjoyed it.  Bizarre but somewhat compelling.  Vampires, but ones that effectively became that way through medical science.

the promo for next week said "season finale" not 'series finale'; i thought this was it, everything seemed to be pointing in the direction of Mulder & Scully riding off into the sunset together.

Why's that?  I didn't notice any finality to the episodes.

Even before its 11th season had aired, The X-Files was rocked by Gillian Anderson's announcement that she was quitting the show.

She had said previously that season 11 "will be the last" for her and for any fans who didn't believe her, she confirmed it in late December and repeated: "I've said from the beginning, this is it for me."

 

I guess they could go on without her or they could lure her back but what would be the point? The ratings are pretty lame so that's a further strike against another season.

Wow, hadn't heard she's quitting.

I had assumed they were transitioning to a new cast anyway after they showed those two agents who looked generally like Mulder and Scully but younger and was surprised that they didn't appear in this season at all.

Actually didn't hate it!  

(Overlooking the fact Scully had almost nothing to do in this episode).

But, man, that was a lot of running.  Back & forth & back & forth.  And driving back & forth.  Not to mention ...

Spoiler

the body count / blood splatter count.  They really cleared the deck of all the remaining baddies , didn't they?  Including the who's-side-are-they-on  characters.  Poor Skinner, Poor Monica.  

I'd say let it end here, and be glad for the several highlights of this season.

I enjoyed the shorter, previous season, but the current one has really started running out of steam.

I've just watched the episode with the sushi restaurant.

Skinner's still alive, isn't he?  Looked like that car mostly passed over him.

So the kid can survive a bullet to the head?

An interesting concept dragged out far too long.
