I gave up on Firefox because it does not handle streaming/flash very well at all. Chrome is a much better option.

(it seems it's good that I don't even know about it...)
Yes, it's not too bad; it's a MOTW movie, not a mytharc movie so it stands alone from the series pretty well. Good, good... not wasting 2 hours of my life over it, then!

It should be stretched the other way then - fatter than before, not taller because they'd be going from 4:3 to 16:9...
But even that's not an explanation, because if they just stretched the image it would warp the faces, too, and they weren't... so I think it's a different font.
But I'd have to check. Could be, could be... Maybe they tried to have something similar to the old font in the 16:9 format, but couldn't get it just right? Incompetence can be found on tv, too, you know?

They did, but that doesn't make it less weird from a fan standpoint - they called each other Mulder and Scully for like 8 years (plus a few episodes in season 9) and only used first names when they were talking to each others' families or in dire situations (like when Scully was in the hospital) That thing always struck me as unusual... but ok... canon states: they call each other by their last names.

But THOSE two?

"doctor knows best" == government knows best - the government's tentacles are everywhere!

Cancer Man supposedly died in a big explosion in the series finale.
Another one that should be dead? O.o

Eww, you use Flash?
I normally do not use flash but for these sites It's the only program that seems to work with this streaming sites. If you know of a better program out there that works with streaming sites like vodlocker, please let me know.

I did notice a lot of plot holes in the first Ep, how did C.B.G Spender come back? He was dying of cancer and blown up in a cave. How does a man in his late 60's in 2002 who was dying of lung cancer all of sudden come back as man his 80's still the same cancer? I'm a smoker so I know he had final stages of lung cancer which only a max of about seven to nine years and that is the estimate for a smoker in his or her 50's of how much life yet. Over all though, a bit of the same traditional X-Flies from the 90's and early 2000's. Does this bother anyone else?

I don't like chrome cause of the privacy issue's that comes with using a google based product. I also gave up using google as a search engine, I use startpage or duckduck go.

That was GREAT!!! Gotta love D. Morgan. Though, I still find G. Anderson's line delivery very Un-Scully like at times. What do you guys think?
