The X-Files: Pilot (1993)
Season 1, Episode 1
7/10
The Start Of An Era
25 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
No-one had seen anything like this before. No-one seen how two people could affect a person's life and agenda with the words, 'The Truth Is Out There'. I new cult was born and with new cults, come new opportunities and new... Uh... Words. (Such as X-Phile) The Pilot was a start of something new for Chris Carter and I bet he didn't know how loved his idea would become. Here are some good and bad points about this episode.

The Good: The way Scully gives Mulder those 'You are so funny, do me' smiles through the episode. ;]

The teaser. I love those effects!

The way they interact. You can tell a chemistry is arising.

The way Mulder gives her 'That look' while checking out the 'Mystery' bites. At least they got the, "I'm sorry! I didn't know you were changing in that room!" awkwardness away. x]

Mulder's sarcastic remarks rock. =]

I love the way Billy Miles holds Threasea when that bright light came. Awesome.

The Bad: The supporting acting wasn't very good, especially from the girl who played Threasea "Daddy, I want to go home!" and "You have to help me!" were very badly acted.

The quality was a bit dull, even for a pilot.

Scully says "I quess there goes my computer" (Something like that) in that nonchalant tone. When Computers expensive then. And what about all that hard autopsy work you did?

The Ugly: The alien in the coffin. Wow... o_O It was really cool how they did that. x]

Conclusion: Great starting episode. Even though it is not the best X-File ever, we all know we are in for a treat. 7/10
