Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Monster and The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat are two of the best entries of the entire series, trading in the horror and suspense often used in episodes of The X-Files for comedy and genuine emotion. Even the new seasons, not the worst of the show but arguably the ones in which the problems mentioned were most evident, could actually be considered worth it because of two episodes. Seasons 8 and 9, by far the weakest of the show, still had great episodes sprinkled in. This has always been a strength of the show, as even when the main plot was struggling they always had one-off episodes to fall back on. One could even make the argument that not having any central story would be better than continuing this one, as The X-Files is still more than capable of making incredible isolated episodes. It ultimately ended with a clip show style finale, intent on clearing up confusion (unsuccessfully) and teasing a 2012 disaster plotline that never came to fruition. They were replaced with Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish, and they largely worked well if it was a spin-off or different show, but as a continuation of The X-Files, it just wasn’t right.
#XFILE REBOOT TRAILER SERIES#
The alien invasion that season 8 ended with seemed to mysteriously disappear at the beginning of the next season, and were replaced with a bizarre super soldier plot that seemed to belong in a different show entirely.Īt this point, it was essentially a different show, with David Duchovny leaving his series regular role after season 7 and Gillian Anderson appearing in only a few scenes an episode. Season 6 cleared up much of the confusion, but it quickly returned in the latter seasons. In the original run, the show seemed to fold in on itself, particularly as the main plotline became practically incomprehensible.
This is exactly what The X-Files needs, bar a divisive finale of course. This episode, Remember the Monsters?, was considered one of the worst endings to any show ever, and many claimed it even ruined the whole show. Of course, Dexter season 8 also featured the infamous series finale, now dubbed the first finale by the show’s creators after New Blood’s release. Latter outings, such as seasons 6 and 8, were criticized for their overall lack of uniqueness, an ironic complaint given how earlier seasons were so original. Unfortunately, audiences soured on Dexter as time went on. Overall, Dexter’s uniqueness as a character is a massive reason of why this show became so popular in the first place. Dexter is also great with kids and young children, another reason why he’s so likable, as he seems to have a shred of genuine empathy for others despite claiming to have no feelings. There’s certainly more nuisance to all of this, such as the morals of the fact that he seems to genuinely enjoy murdering others, and this is explored in more depth when his family and friends get caught in the crossfire of his actions.
