Fans in attendance at this year's New York Comic Con got a special treat when "The X-Files" debuted its premiere episode for the revival series.

Needless to say, the show went down in spectacular glamour with much applause.

According to Deadline, the episode featured the same crew as last time, but did not pick right up where they left off back in 2002. It adhered to the passage of time and the revival series picks up where they would have left off if they had still been on the air the whole time.

The first scene for the episode was a flashback of an alien crash that occurred in Roswell in 1947.

But fans in attendance were also wondering about the relationship between Mulder and Scully, which had not yet materialized in the series, apparently.

"This is where the sniper gets me," series creator Chris Carter joked. "We wanted to be true to the passage of time. Mulder and Scully have had their difficulties, so that's where we are."

The episode really picked up on a new character, Tad O'Malley (Joel McHale), who is a televangelist. He is also a big believer in the "truth is out there" mantra for the series and he enlists the two agents into helping him prove it.

Although the episode stayed true to its main source material, it also found a way to work in issues that are currently plaguing America. Those issues include the obesity epidemic, the income inequality movement and the government's new tendency to abuse privacy invasion laws that have set the people against their government in recent years.

The privacy invasions are a theme that works well with the show, considering they themselves have been trying to expose the government cover-ups that deal directly with alien activity. So naturally, the politics of the nation are firmly embedded in the show's theme.
