It seems like with many shows and other entertainment things, the people in charge just try to keep it going. Not really having an ultimate objective. So you start to get stuff that doesn't make sense and is out of character. I remember in the second X-Files movie credits they are actually waving at the camera on a boat. The actual characters of Mulder and Scully. How silly is that? It's one thing to have something like the credits of Predator which is a really good B-Type movie. And the credits are like theater performers taking a bow.

I really liked the first film. Thought it was well done. I remember it was about a conspiracy of alien invasion. Was that the one that ended with an underground complex under the snow, and it collapses?
I don't really remember the 2nd film, just watched the trailer, which is in a snowy environment, but it doesn't look familiar. Maybe I'm mixing the end of Believe with the 1st film.
Might have to see those again.
I wasn't a dedicated watcher of the X-files out of the gate. I came late and would just watch from time-to-time. Wasn't until I saw this one funny ep where Mulder and Scully each told their own version of what happened (and the show would show it as flashback with some narration) that I started watching more regularly. That ep really cracked me up.
I don't know if I'd go back and watch it either, but at that point in the show ('telling their own version' ep) it was a good show.
I haven't seen any of the new shows. I see there was 6 eps in 2016, and 10 eps for 2018. If you see one, let me know what you think. The 2016 did well in ratings, strange they skipped a year.
