The X-Files Season 6, Disc 1


Just finished watching "The X-Files" Season 6, Disc 1. So here's my impressions:

The Beginning
Okay, let's kind of continue from where the movie left off. (See, this is why I watched "Fight the Future" in between Season 5 and Season 6!) But at the same time, let's introduce characters you LOVE to HATE!

Character #1: Agent Spender. He's CSM's son! That right there kinda makes you want to SMACK him upside the head. AND then all the crap he pulls with Mulder and taking over his office and stuff just makes you HATE him even more!

Character #2: AD Kersh. Scully and Mulder get reassigned and now report to AD Kersh. In subsequent episodes you learn to hate him more because he's obviously out to keep Mulder and Scully from the X-Files.

Character #3: Agent Fowley. You're never really sure if Mulder and her had a thing at one point or not. But she's "supposedly" there to protect Mulder's work on the X-Files. Eh. Not sure if I believe her or not.

Drive
Eh, I can take or leave this episode.

Triangle
This episode is like PERFECT! It's shot in single camera long shot format. Essentially it's like 4 extremely long shots, no breaks, nothing. The camera follows the characters. A lot of shows are doing this now, but I LOVE that The X-Files was one of the first to do single camera!

Also, it had some of the BEST shots ever!

1. Scully kisses Skinner. Not romantically or anything, just in appreciation and the like.
2. Mulder kisses Scully. Okay, it's 1939 Scully and not current day Scully, but still! And then she punches him!

And it had one of the best lines ever too!

Mulder: I love you.
Scully: Oh brother...

*sigh*

Dreamland I
Okay, part 1 isn't as good as part 2, and sadly I have to wait until disc 2 get part 2! That just sucks! But one of the characters looks familiar because I've seen him in "CSI: Miami," "CSI" AND "Criminal Minds." Michael B. Silver plays Howard Gordin in this episode (and part 2). But I do love David Duchovny dancing as Morris Fletcher and the faces he makes! JUST great!

Okay, so that's my bit about disc 1. Can't wait for disc 2!
