Akte X - Série 2

Little Green Men 4/5: The beginning of the end. The first of the episodes where the mythological story line begins to fully unfold, which will eventually (in many seasons) ruin the X Files. Which does not mean, however, that this episode is not of good quality. On the contrary, from the beginning, the story-telling part was also fun and exciting. The Host 4/5: X Files are still a closed project and Mulder is assigned to inferior tasks. Above average episode, which has something to offer, even if it is "only" another creature from the sewer system. Blood 5/5: "Kill´em all!" A theme that will give you the shivers and a slightly different episode than usual. Sleepless 4/5: Mulder facing the mystery of the strange death of a sleep specialist. Very good at the beginning, but the mediocre second half makes it unnecessarily worse. Duane Barry 4/5: Pre-theme-song scene doesn't make anyone want to watch it. In fact, it does quite the opposite. But the episode itself is very good. The creators finally changed the form of the narrative. Ascension 4/5: "Deny everything."A direct follow-up of the last part, which is even better due to the more tense atmosphere. 3 3/5: The first of the cases of reopened X Files. An average episode about a trio playing modern vampires. One Breath 5/5: A slower episode where we get an insight into some of the characters from a different perspective than before. Firewalker 3/5: An unworthy copy-cat of Ice episode from the first season. Mediocre in all respects. Red Museum 4/5: Undervalued episode that unnecessarily turns into the conspiracy. Excelsis Dei 2/5: Lengthy nothing portraying nothing. Free of any idea nor atmosphere. Aubrey 4/5: Variations on Born Again episode. But a level better. Quite atmospheric and until the "plot twist" also exciting. After that it's rather ridiculous... Irresistible 5/5: The first episode in which nothing supernatural happens. Still, or precisely because of that, it works great. A forerunner of modern detective series. An unforgettable bad guy. Die Hand Die Verletzt 5/5: Occult religion, relaxed atmosphere and Mulder's one-liners. The ideal combination. Fresh Bones 5/5: Voodoo practices and so on. Colony 2/5: Conspiracy cloning is boring. End Game 3/5: Follow-up of the last part, but a better one. Fearful Symmetry 3/5: Restless animals on the run. Død Kalm 4/5: A copy-cat of Darkness Falls from the first season, just with better masks. Also excellent, but not exceptional. Humbug 4/5: Also excellent, but not exceptional. And maybe you will get a bonus, I mean… Glum. The Calusari 4/5: Exorcism in Romanian way. F. Emasculata 5/5: Deadly epidemic without Dustin Hoffman but with a pinch of conspiracy. Soft Light 3/5: Watch out for boring shadow, viewer! Our Town 4/5: Cannibals, cannibals, they eat people. But why they don't eat all of them is one of the greatest mysteries of the whole of X Files. Such a waste. What would hungry Somalian children say? Anasazi 4/5: Together with the first two episodes of the third series, they form a closed trilogy and the most conspiratorial conspiracy story of the whole X Files. I wish all mythological episodes look like this, because this is elegant, the story is progressing and the characters do their best. (21.10.2016) (weniger) (mehr)
