The X-Files - S11 • E2 Ratings & Reviews
Set the Tape
Kelechi Ehenulo
As pre-credit openers go, 'This' was a kinetic blitzkrieg, turning it up to eleven and kicking the new season into gear.
io9.com
Cheryl Eddy
It suggests that things are looking up for season 11. Just because the characters are dreading the future doesn't mean the audience should dread following them there.
MUBI
Keith Uhlich
The omnipresent trap of life is to privilege that over this. Live among the dead and you miss what's right in front of you.
Nerdist
Kyle Anderson
"This" is a major step back in the right direction for the show that, as of last week, seemed painfully uncool and out of touch.
The Young Folks
Katey Stoetzel
"This" is so much better than last week's premiere. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are even more on point as Mulder and Scully that I had flashbacks to seasons two and three.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
Part of "This" feel a bit like a standalone episode edited down to fit into a mythology entry, which can be frustrating. And yet the more I think about it, the more I appreciate what it achieves.
Syfy Wire
Alyse Wax
It was a dense episode, and one that had Mulder and Scully kicking a lot more butt than they used to. It made the episode feel exhausting, but in a good way.
Bloody Disgusting
Daniel Kurland
As "This" attempts to tie a bow on all of these ideas, it proves to be another rough, shaky episode that doesn't frame the season in an encouraging light.
Den of Geek
Chris Longo
"This" further puts The X-Files mythology back on the path to redemption.
Entertainment Weekly
Kelly Connolly
Last week's sloppy premiere got season 11 off to a rough start, but the state of The X-Files is looking much brighter after this Glen Morgan-penned (and directed) hour.
indieWire
Liz Shannon Miller
There were a number of charming exchanges this week, not the least of which was Mulder and Scully digging with delight into bran muffins.
Paste Magazine
Dom Sinacola
Morgan, to his credit, achieves some stirring visuals, especially in a parking garage meeting between Mulder, Scully and Skinner, finding endless angles through which to convey a sense of paranoia and surveillance.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
The attempts to name drop Snowden and Robert Mueller were a bit clumsy, but on the whole, "This" was in some ways the most impressive episode of either revival season.
CinemaBlend
Laura Hurley
Langley managed to reach out to Mulder via smartphone, and the way he pulled it off was pretty crazy.
TV Fanatic
Carissa Pavlica
Anderson and Duchovny were free to be the characters they have grown to love, and we were free to enjoy the entertainment and pick up on little details as necessary. "This" is what I want out of The X-files.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
"This" managed to get Season 11 on track with an episode that was both a one-off adventure and a mythology episode designed to connect the past to the present.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Tallerico
Yet it's also a fresh, fast-paced hour that feels current with its commentary on international conspiracies and the theory that we're all living in a simulation.
TV Worth Watching
David Bianculli
It's pretty clever, and fairly spooky.
