I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to see that the chemistry between Scully and Mulder was there from the very beginning. One of things that surprised me was that Scully didn't come off as the "everything you say is BS" type that she is usually parodied as. That being said Mulder seemed quite over the top at times, but it work because Duchovny is so likable as Mulder that the over acting, conspiracy talk is almost endearing .
If I had to find one complaint it was the effects. They were very date. Not that there were many in this episode but there was a whirlwind in the first few minutes that slapped you in the face. Easily forgiven thought.
One of the things I really like, and only noticed because I am familiar with the shows mythology, where little touch that are part of something later. Or instance, The Smoking Man, who seemed like a smaller fish then he is revealed to be later. Also Mulder's oral fixation, this time in the form of sunflower seeds.
Episode one was a good start. For the show on the whole and for this little project on which I am embarking. Looking forward to episode two.

First appearance:
The Smoking Man
... there is a scene that screams Twin Peaks. Fans of the show that re-watch this will know exactly what I am talking about.
