@Sakonosolo:
Episode 5 was probably the second best of this season so far.
! Shame that Doggett and Reyes aren't on board for this but I like that they had two agents similar to Mulder and Scully in this episode. Might have made it more interesting if the genders were switched though, with the woman being the equivalent of Mulder and vice versa with the guy. And at least this episode had a conclusion. Both the other MotW episodes other than the one with the lizard man had shitty conclusions that really didn't resolve their stories. They still introduced the trumpets from the sky and didn't do anything with that though.
Hopefully the final episode is better than the first one since we're getting back to the mythology arc.
I just got around to watching the 5th episode. As far as I'm concerned, episode 2 wasn't a "monster of the week" episode. It strongly tied back to previous X-Files plotlines and Scully, specifically. I think that the open conclusion there was warranted, and quite fitting. Now episode 4, I had a problem with. It fell extremely short in terms of plot, conflict, or even a point at all. Even the philosophical angle was very weak compared to the general good job they've been doing lately with that, and trying to be relevant to current events.
In that respect episode 5 went right back on track. It had a tangible plotline that had a conclusion, while still remaining mysterious in many ways. Not to mention the two new agents introduced, which was humorous to me and they even almost broke the 4th wall by having Scully reference the very first episode of the first season. I also thought the matter of the trumpets existed solely for that last scene, which was fine. So yeah, good episode.
