The X Files: Babylon (2016)
utterly brilliant. Television redefined and reawakened once again by Chris Carter.
Finally got to watch this week's episode of "The X Files", and I am laughing at the lower rating it has received to date on IMDb from the masses. What a beautiful and typically thought-provoking ode to everything the show has ever been...gutsy subject matter and possibly Chris Carter's best writing and directing work to date, in my opinion. In an age of ubiquitous reality show garbage and mind-numbing formulaic nonsense of safe and predictable plots "acted" by models, there is this breath of fresh air, this series that not only entertains and even educates, but most importantly engenders questions...curiosity... I am left smiling deeply and so inspired at this truly brilliant television production, an episode that encompassed so many sincere moments, so wonderfully acted and so wonderfully scored, much as it began to be 23 years ago. Thank-you Mr. Carter & cast & crew - thank-you.
