The X-Files - Season 10 Episode 02: Founder's Mutation
The X-Files is coming back to TV! The season opens with reuniting Agent Mulder with Dana Scully after the collapse of their relationship when Mulder is engaged by a TV host and follows the pair of FBI agents as they investigate the strange and unexplained.
Certainly, it's an improvement over the premiere... But in other spots, the storytelling was nearly as sloppy as it was in "My Struggle." Too many decisions were being made based on events that happened off-screen.
All in all, it was a nifty episode, with a lot to recommend about it, and very little to complain about this time around. It tied into the established plot in a cool way, the effects were top-notch and occasionally cringe-inducing.
"Founder's Mutation" feels more like a strong episode of one of The X-Files' major scions, Fringe, where the wildness of the weird is simply accepted as part of the gears of the world.
Check it out - a real and proper episode of The X-Files! This is what we remember fondly: a sometimes gross and sometimes scary (but ultimately fun) bit of science fiction vaguely built on fact.
You know what else would ease the residual fatigue of "My Struggle"? A nice, stand alone Monster of the Week episode. And what do you know, "The Founder's Mutation" was written and directed by James Wong... We're in good hands.
