It’s a little difficult now because the public ethos has changed from “that’s crazy” to “well, probably, sure, why not?” in regards to possible alien life. Even so, the entertainment value of the scifi and the dynamic duo remains.

What’s awful is revisiting Duchovny trying to act. He’s like John Wayne who only plays John Wayne. When Duchovny tries to diverge from playing Duchovny, it’s quite cringe. The past life episode was the worst.

Apparently Duchovny can never stop being Duchovny no matter what he's doing.

It’s probably a piece of why Duchovny was so keen on doing the Xfiles again. Meanwhile, Anderson is beyond classy on screen. Whether it’s being batshit in Dickens, the hunter Stella Gibson, or Thatcher, she’s pretty great. She doest need the x-files.
