The X-Files returns to TV with season 6. And a new locale. One these first two episodes are not remotely subtle about...
For The Beginning, we talk about apparent Grey alien lifecycles and Chris Cater's pettiness. And where is Krycek even now? Its so hard not to contrast the black oil as it exists back to Piper Maru and how different everything was. We just don't talk about bees.
Drive kind of gets overwhelmed by its big guest star - not least this is a major part of how he was cast in Breaking Bad. But its a great episode - and as far as Nick was concerned for the longest time; the series opener.
For a change its Mulder's turn to get kidnapped but we do have to ask how he still doesn't get how to operate within the FBI on non-X-Files stuff without lashing out constantly.
