I know Abrams is trying to differentiate the series from the X-Files, but I personally loved X-Files, so I don't think he needs to separate too far. One big issue for me will be whether he decides to include the "monster of the week" arc like X-Files had or attempts to stay with this super-myth arc. I'm going to insist that doing the latter will be disastrous in the long-term and that he should embrace the "monster of the week" motif.
