Just way too much going on.
Monster of the week, death of a Scully, more "wahhh, our baby" drama. (Can you tell I'm still bitter about that storyline?)
Overall, I am very disappointed with this mini-run. They're cramming in way too much stuff for six episodes, and it's nothing we haven't already seen. Experiments on pregnant women? It's been done. A golem? It's been done (not that it was a memorable episode). Scully's brother Bill being a dick? Done.
Although can you blame the never-seen-Charlie for getting away from that family? One sister killed as collateral damage in an alien conspiracy. The other sister kidnapped, given cancer, and cured by a computer chip in an alien conspiracy. His goodbye note probably said "LOL NOPE."
Next week appears to be another one-off. Are they going to have the finale be the other mythology episode? Or did they bring back CSM for no good reason? I don't want the finale to be yet more "making hash of the mythology AGAIN," but I think that's what it's going to be. I can only assume the intent is to continue doing these mini-runs.
But please, Fox and Chris Carter. Let it die.
