<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Oh thank God, no more dark and dreary X-files investigating Gothic America series! This is such welcome change.....it's like X-files was a dark and cloudy season and TLG is like Spring : fresh, new, funny and just as entertaining as the heyday of X-files.
Whenever those hitech trio would show up on X-files, they ALWAYS stole the show! I mean, come on.....Mulder is a depressed monotone agent who ignores a foxy smart red head who's made it obvious she wants to bare his children. I still like the X-files, even more now that Mulder has been replaced with a street wise cop but the Lone Gunman just has so much more potential!
My opinion, of course. There's gotta be someone out there who'll incorrectly disagree. =8^P</div>

Mulder's not monotone, though. He and TLG always played well off of each other.

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>I like the debut because it was so much like a silly comic book (not a horrible one like 'FPS'...). It doesn't concentrate on being serious or consequential like the recent X-Files have been; which are in my opinion goddawful - what happened to all the good writers? They're trying too hard to be dead serious and turning the show into an absolute mess.
In other words G-Man, I agree with you. The key is being entertaining. I personally don't care how many times they enlist a supergeek to hack into the pentagon and override the bypass codes, just as long as they don't try to pretend it matters. And that looks like the path the show will take. :)</div>

Totally agreed, it was refreshingly fun (and it "doesn't try to take itself too seriously" which is a plus)...

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>And besides, we already saw one new character who seems interesting enough (The woman, and I'm wondering why they did that name trick with her. So long as they don't try and say that she killed a former president, hah). They have those distinct three personality types that play off each other's flaws and such very well. And above it all, they're all goffy and fun enough characters to never let it get too creepy.
And I must say, I was laughing at the end... with that part where he shows them the chip he stole from her:
"Once you've had Frohickey..." ......
"Alright, I grabbed it and ran."</div>
Heh...not only that.....but HOW he acquired it. (spoiler)

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Yup. He's not bad either. The guy who replaced him is the T1000 guy in Terminator 2.</div>
