Ehhhhhhhhhh...

It's a good hour of television, heavily Black Mirror-inspired. But c'mon. I know there's weird, self-contained X-Files episodes... but generally even in those Mulder and Scully will make some mention of, "Hey, [partner]... isn't this REALLY WEIRD and/or REALLY WRONG, what's going on around us? WTF??" There is no way they would have gotten even 5% into this episode without doing that, but they do. They treat everything in this episode as perfectly normal.

By about the 2/3 mark I was 100% positive Mulder or Scully would wake up in some diner and the whole thing would be a dream. But it wasn't. It was all real.
I get they'd have random self contained eps but can they afford many of those with only 10 eps this season. I feel a crammed conclusion coming on.
So long as it's better than that last movie at least.
