This week we are introduced to Anubis, another vignette about the modern afterlife, and how some beliefs stay with you even when you think they've gone.
While I like some of the tonal shifts the show takes with the source material, I don't know if I'm completely sold on the immediate upping of stakes the show does from the start.
Sure, it’s something of a “Ripped from the Headlines”/“Very Special Episode” of the X-Files, but the feel is loose and jaunty enough to separate it from the tired tropes of the countless acronym procedurals over on the other stations.
I beat on this horse quite often in this forum, but I can’t help but consider Breaking Bad to be in some small ways, a part of the legacy of the X-Files.
Is it just me, or does this season sort of feel like the dumping ground for story ideas that would have been used in the fourth season of Millennium had it not been cancelled?
