In “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space” (Season 3, Episode 20), two air force pilots flying a military vehicle designed from U.F.O. “At the base I’ve seen people go into an ordinary room with an ordinary bunch of doctors and come out absolutely positive they were probed by aliens.” In “Deep Throat” (Season 1, Episode 2), Air Force test pilots show psychological and physiological issues after flying experimental aircrafts which Mulder believes are based on alien technology by the end of the episode the pilots appear to have been brainwashed so that they have no recollection of their experiences as test pilots. However, the idea that false memories of alien abductions are being used to cover up government use of alien technology is not a new idea.

Some may argue that the biggest difference between the original series and Season 10 is this change of the alien conspiracy theory. But in “My Struggle,” Mulder is easily convinced by Sveta (who merely says, “But you always wondered if they weren’t lying to you, too”) that the government conspiracy he has been trying to expose is not actually covering up their alliance with extraterrestrials who plan to colonize the earth, but is instead covering up that a group of government officials is using alien technology in a plot to take over the United States. Despite the challenges Mulder faces, he holds onto his beliefs throughout the original series. Since the pilot episode, Mulder has believed not only in aliens, mythology, and the unexplainable but also in the existence of a government cover-up to hide these paranormal phenomena from its citizens because of a pact with aliens. I’ve been misled – we’ve been misled….What if everything we’ve been lead to believe in is a lie? What if there is no alien conspiracy?” And these changes are clearly minor compared to the difference in attitude Mulder has adopted towards the X-Files themselves. But because over a decade has passed between the plots of the original series and Season 10, the differences are easily dismissed as changes in tastes and life choices. and is now instead an assistant to surgeons (which, frankly, feels a little like a demotion). At the beginning of the season Scully is no longer working for the F.B.I. Mulder is now sunflower seed-less (except for a handful seen briefly on his desk in the season finale), not wearing the black-banded watches he usually wears (such as his Omega which featured so prominently in Season 6, Episode 14, “Monday”), and his vast collection of pornography never makes an appearance. There are also subtle differences in the characterization of Mulder and Scully in Season 10. I Want to Believe … that Mulder’s files are in storage somewhere. What’s more, with Mulder’s having moved from apartment 42 to a small, secluded farmhouse, the X-Files office abandoned (and the files themselves mysteriously missing), and the lack of an actual case to solve in the first episode, “My Struggle” is missing much of the foundation of the original series. Instead, they begin with a monologue from Mulder and Scully, respectively, explaining the X-Files and their involvement with the paranormal, played over a series of photographs from the original series. The first and last episodes of Season 10 do not. There are, however, a number of differences between the original The X-Files and Season 10, most of which can be found in the new season’s first episode, “My Struggle.”Ĭustomarily, The X-Files episodes have had a cold open which reveals the nature of the case at hand: a business man is murdered by someone who squeezes through a narrow air vent a woman and child flee a supermarket when everyone else begins clawing at their own eyes a man with writer’s block pulls his heart from his chest. From bringing back original show writers Darin Morgan, Glen Morgan and James Wong to featuring characters and actors from the original show, creator Chris Carter has done a lot to ensure the new season of the The X-Files (1993 – 2002, 2016 - ) reflects the original series.
