I loved the episode!
Spoiler:
The story, the characters, the humor, the Easter eggs, the tributes...all of it.
And that twist with Guy Mann was simply inspired. Wonderful stuff all around.
In the end, Mulder's faith in the unknown and unexplained is returned and Scully picked up Dagoo after getting nostalgic for Queequeg.
Darin Morgan episodes aren't for everyone, but if you dig his stuff, then this one was a genuine treat.

My thoughts on 'My Struggle'
Spoiler:
I found this episode a bit difficult on first viewing... we're given an alien event, and a potential conspiracy that is absolutely no different or special when compared to anything else that has been seen in The X-Files and yet when combined with a charming TV presenter and a fancy aircraft (the likes of which Mulder HAS seen before), Mulder completely throws away his belief in the entire alien conspiracy to believe that it was the government all along - not the aliens. I didn't really buy it - not after everything they'd been through.
Then I got thinking, it's heavily implied through the episode that Mulder has been damn depressed. I wonder if that's because the 2012 invasion didn't happen. At least not in the way it was expected.... Mulder and Scully gave up everything, including their son because of 2012... could it be that Mulder began to question himself after this? Causing depression and his break up with Scully - because he feels he got it all wrong, and now - unbalanced - he is willing to jump to any crazy theory that might mean he wasn't totally wrong after all? With that second perspective, I'm a lot happier with the episode, as it reflects Mulder's fall, without betraying the legitimate mythology...

I haven't said anything yet because I really did not like the first two episodes, or should I say I felt like there were scenes missing rather than saying I didn't like them. I felt like the story was jumping around and I was getting lost with what was going on and why, especially in the first episode. Anyway, I was just able to sit down and watch episode 3 on Hulu last night and I think it might be one of my top ten X-Files episodes of all time. I thought the writing was great and the casting was outstanding. Loved every minute. I hope the rest of the series is as good as episode 3. Can't wait to find time to watch episode 4.
