You can learn more about The X-Files miniseries on Fox’s website. But they still have two episodes to pull everything together and I’m still holding out hope that they do. If all this personal drama, and references to old wounds being reopened, doesn’t have some kind of resolution by the end of this series, all the diversions the plot has taken so far would be for nothing. What’s unfortunate isn’t that this is a mediocre episode, it’s that they only have six episodes and every single one needs to, and should, be on point. No matter how we remember the old series, it had episodes like this as well – episodes that just didn’t hit their mark. THE X-FILES wasn’t all good all the time. Normally long, rambling monologues only work in Kevin Smith movies, but what Trashman has to say in this scene is so important, and so poignant, that it makes me wish they had taken more time to explore this idea, and this message, rather than concentrating on all the other melodrama. But the confrontation between Mulder and Scully and Trashman was easily the best part of the episode. While the deaths were all gory and suspenseful, the fourth death – which featured a woman being terrorized in her home, to the tune of Petula Clark’s classic “Downtown” – was straight out of a slasher and probably the most effective death in the episode. In defense of the episode, there were a couple of standout scenes. I’m sure that there are fans who are more invested in the relationship between Mulder and Scully than I am, and who enjoy the personal conflict more, but that’s never been the reason I watched THE X-FILES. It doesn’t really feel like the show is building towards anything with these diversions either.

The episodes was as well acted as ever, but I found the interruption unnecessary in a series that only has six episodes – and therefore, extremely limited time – to make an impact.

The story of the street artist and his creations had the potential to be somewhat interesting, but the time they spent on the personal drama didn’t allow them to flesh out the main case as much as I think it deserved. Eventually, the pair reunite and discover a link between the murders and a local street artist known as Trashman (guest star Tim Armstrong, of the punk band Rancid).Īs much as I enjoyed the last episodes, I wasn’t feeling this episode at all. While she goes to her mother’s side, Mulder continues his sleuthing as other officials involved in the relocation continue to die. The investigation is temporarily interrupted when Scully receives a phone call from her brother telling her that their mother is in intensive care after a heart attack. They soon discover that the official was involved in a plan to forcibly relocate the neighborhood’s homeless population, a project which was causing a lot of blowback beyond just the homeless community. In the fourth episode of the miniseries, Mulder and Scully arrive in Philadelphia where a city official was found dead in his office, his head and arms ripped from his body.
