A handy 2 minute recap of The X-Files season 10

Note: The following video obviously contains spoilers for season 10 of The X-Files.

The X-Files’ 11th season begins this Wednesday, January 3 and The A.V. Club has all the declassified information you need to catch-up with FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Here’s everything you need to remember before the season premieres tomorrow.

It's hard to capture lightning in a bottle again, and while season 10 wasn't the greatest. I was happy to see the show return and I hope this season goes well.

I came here for a recap, not an X-Files bashing session. Do you really think that's what fans looking for a recap are interested in?

I know season 10 was mostly bad but can anyone find me an objective recap that isn't trying to be cute and funny?

I liked season 10. Even if it's not the best thing ever (although I think it was), I'm just thrilled to have the old show back in decent form. As far as Twin Peaks, I'd love to love the return, but I couldn't get through the original! I'll have to try again some time.

Was watching the start of season 11, it didn't make sense from what I remembered, now I paused to look at this recap and it makes even less sense.

On a sidenote, I need this music...

CHRIS CARTER's weakness is his inability to tell ONE long story in any meaningful sustained effort. (The series just dragged on and on in the 1990s).

When your lead actor leaves the show before your done, you know you're taking too long.

s10 was terrible, weremonster especially. can't believe they renewed it for another season. let it die.
