Okay, watching now and will try and do a blow by blow of thoughts:
Spoilers below, so just keep scrolling if you don't want to read them. I'm setting the precedent for no hide-tags here and now! :p

No mention of the second movie in the voice-over at the start...
YAYAYAYAYA!! They went back to the (mostly) original opening title theme! Added Skinner and shortened it, but it's not the craptastic revamp from seasons 8-9...
The font they used for the credits at the start is different... more vertical than it used to be... right?
Ewww, I don't like Scully's hair color.
Boy, Duchovny has aged badly...
Awkward interaction between Mulder and Scully...
Hey, Poca! Sveta was a spoiler!
Eeew, I hate when Mulder calls Scully Dana...
o0o0o0o, does The Soup guy have a crush on Scully???
Super-paranoid Mulder is BACK!!
AHHH!! HE'S SCHMOOZING HER IN A LIMO!!!!!!!!! THE SOUP GUY IS HITTING ON SCULLY!!!!!
Ooo, the basement office! And Skinner!! HA!! And the pencils are still stuck in the ceiling!
Mulder is living in the same house as he was in the second movie...
Why did Mulder have his hands on Scully's shoulders for that whole exchange? That was weird.
LOLOL x-files science is funny.
Wait? The Tuskegee experiments and Henrietta Lacks are the only examples Mulder gives for the government lying to its citizens?? C'mon, x-files, do better.
Prediction: Sveta doesn't have alien DNA but Scully does...
Half right: both. And maybe William? Are we going to see William in the miniseries?!?
Ooops. Bye Bye Sveta...
AAAAAAAAAHHH! Smoking Man!! With a Phantom of the Opera mask?!?
EEK!! Excited...
I doubt they'll do stand-alone episodes; if they're doing a miniseries/short season it'll be all business which will probably mean myth-arc, conspiracy stuff, which seems to be the heading based on the first episode here.

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
