        Temporada horrorosa, arrastada e tudo de ruim. Será um divisor para o fim? Será que compensa continuar?

        Delightful. Interesting. Well done. Entertaining.

        Best stand-alone episodes, Mulder and Scully chemistry and great writing!
      • Sep 30, 2020
        In the first post-movie season, the new L.A. setting lacks the same ambience, however faithfully the crew tries to replicate it, that Vancouver had, episodes can be a bit too dependent on comedy and as for the mythology episodes...they aren't awful but you can tell this was the point where it came to light that Chris Carter had no real epic plan. Fortunately, beyond the obvious merit of the dynamic between Mulder and Scully, the sixth season of The X-Files definitely has enough good episodes to outweigh the more underwhelming ones that stand out in their own different ways. The "Speed" episode, without which Breaking Bad wouldn't exist in the way we know it today. The episode with Bruce Campbell who delivers a terrific performance that could've lead to him playing John Doggett. And of course, "Triangle", full of excellent camerawork and seamless editing to give off the impression all four segments are one long take each. The penultimate episode was pretty effective too. Attempts to change the status quo felt somewhat pointless since 12 episodes later, Mulder & Scully are back working on them without fear of repercussions as if the last couple of episodes didn't happen. Especially since anybody who only watches the MOTW episodes will be confused by why "Skinner" is black now. As well as the fact that the first episode relies on you having seen the movie to understand just what the hell everybody's on about. The sixth season marked the point where the show wasn't going to be earning the same level of acclaim the first five seasons but there was still enough competence from Chris Carter and co. to make the first non-Vancouver season a pretty enjoyable new beginning.
