Yes, I'm loving the revival for the exact same reasons. The stories can't be new, but the character development can. The characters were always the most interesting part anyway. I just want to see Mulder and Scully happy to more than ten minutes, but they have really backed themselves into a corner. Scully has been through so much that I don't think a normal life with anyone else is possible. How could anyone else understand all that? I want nothing more than to see them together, but let's face it, Mulder can be an ass and a healthy relationship between the two would be difficult to achieve. Mulder needs to have some purpose again and the first episode did a good job of exploring that issue.
Are they both broken by eveything? How do they come back from the trauma and loss of idealism and innocence they had at the beginning of the show? I'm about years younger than they are supposed to be and still have to deal "wanting to believe" in my own job, and that's teaching! That struggle is interesting to me.
