Is the new X-Files revival, a re-introduction of the show? Seems like it is…

I know the new “X-Files” is just finally starting this week. I watched the premiere last night which was absolutely amazing! It felt like watching the original show for sure. However, though, the show didn’t really feel like a continuation of some sort. It felt like more of a re-introduction. The show was re-introducing Mulder, Scully, Skinner and the Cigarette Smoking Man characters. Before you decide to watch the new “X-Files”, do you have to watch the first 9 seasons of the original show? No. You don’t really have to if you don’t want to ’cause the new “X-Files” revival is gonna be a standalone story for the most-part. I think the whole point of the new revival show is to help grow a new audience. The show is not just for die-hards. It can be for newbies too. I think the show wants to grow a wider audience before their next big screen movie ’cause I heard that Chris Carter is writing a script for “X-Files” big screen movie no. 3.

Anyway, I thought the first episode last night was amazing. David and Gillian still kill it even though they’re aging. I’m glad the show kept the original title sequence which was awesome. I was a little worried that they were going to change the title sequence and the opening credits a little bit but they didn’t. They kept it the same which was good. They kept the music the same too which was awesome as well.

I’m glad the X-Files is back finally. I think that if this 6 episode revival is a success then another big screen movie will probably happen.
