Case 10, File 03: Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

AKA: Okay The Episode Title Is Already Too Close To An AKA Title I'd Use

Is this a better DVD menu shot? Let me know in the comments

In order for a writer on a tv show to become a household name, they usually have to be a constant presence in the credits. Darin Morgan is therefore a bit of an anomaly among TV show writers. Most X-Files fans know his name, despite only writing 4 episodes on the original run (and punching up the dialogue on a 5th). Still, his episodes were so popular, so critically acclaimed and so frequently imitated, that the entire fanbase basically knows his name. So when it was announced that he was returning to pen an episode for the revival season, his first episode written since season 3 20 years ago, people were hyped.

AKA: New Founder's Mutants, Oh God That Was Awful 

Sorry bout the awful DVD menu pics, Season 10 doesn't have episode menus

Much like seasons 8 and 9, the real test of the revival wasn't going to be the big plot focused episodes, it was going to be seeing how Mulder and Scully handled being back on the Monster of the Week plots, since those were the major draws for a lot of viewers. But the dynamic has changed; With a lot of plot and character work to cover and only 6 episodes (10 in Season 11) the new Monsters of the Week have to share a lot of space, which might throw off the balance.
