The X-Files 10x01 My Struggle  
Wow, that title totally doesn't have a cringetastic association at all.

Yesss, starting pretty much like the original opening sequence (What's with the new font, though?)! And continuing like it, OMG. Except they kept Skinner as a main character, yay! Oh, it's shortened.

Mark Snow, Heather MacDougall. Like the good old times!
Huh, I wouldn't have expected them to ever actually show us Roswell.

Ugh, is Scully still working in that hospital?
You'd think Skinner would be the bossest of the FBI bosses by now. But hey, at least he still has his job. Come on, reinstate my babies already!

So... what, Mulder and Scully have been apart? Why do shows that have been away for a while always do cruel things like that?!
And they've changed Scully's necklace, which bothers me slightly. I'm not good with change and they've already changed Scully's hair color, dammit!

Ah, look at that vegetation! I've so missed that during the show's LA era.
It's so weird to see a girl here whose face I know from a Nickelodeon show!

Hey, it's Otomo from Heroes Reborn!

No, you've not been mislead. How dare you ever consider this. I don't want to do this doubt thing again, hmph.

I like that no one bothered to take the pencils out of the ceiling. But what is the poster doing there? The last time we've seen that office Doggett rolled the poster up.
Wow, the first time they actually mentioned 9/11, although the show was still running when it had happened.

Man, would I be pissed off if someone who isn't a friend would claim to be friends with me.

Ah, that old guy finally connects the Roswell scenes with the presence.
I've heard that people thought this episode was terrible. Is this because we're apparently being told that the truths we've found out in the previous 9 seasons weren't true? Or because Mulder was written to doubt again? Or because Mulder and Scully haven't been together? These are the things I don't like so far, but I wouldn't call it a bad episode yet. I have 11 minutes to go.

I'm really confused by all this and don't really know what they're saying. Did they just go back from "It's all been a bunch of lies!" to "Uh, never mind, it was true!"?
Aw yeah, Mulder and Scully properly team up again!

Man, Smokey is looking good for a fried guy! So nice to see him again. Now gimme back my Lone Gunmen!
The X-Files are reopened, I got my wish, Mulder and Scully are with the FBI again! \o/
