I've been reserved cause the promos have been meh but the premiere was decent and better paced imo, something last season lacked especially in the mythology eps.
But of course Chris Carter cannot help himself and throws a wrench into the plot
Mengle Effect
Reggie calling Scully "Skulls" from the jump
The fact that the majority of this episde was just them talking in the parking garage
Skinner at the end
Love when these "break" episodes from the main plot deliver like this one did
