The X-Files: Rm9sbG93ZXJz (2018)
Season 11, Episode 7
6/10
Entertaining, but not an X File
16 November 2018
I couldn't for the life of me figure out why M & S are suddenly at the complete mercy of technology. We've never seen them addicted to their phones, nor Scully use a driverless car (in fact, Mulder now seems to have her car) and her house is ridiculous. This episode feels like it was written for another production - maybe a movie in its own right - and they decided to make it an X File.

As social commentary goes, it's about as subtle as The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat. That said, I liked the minimal dialogue and quiet moments of humour. Overall, it sits fine alongside Ghost In The Machine, Kill Switch and Blood. I doubt we'll ever see Scully's house again - she'll presumably give Elon Musk his keys back...
