Information that changes the interpretation of previously described events.
Encountered while reading a review of last night's first X Files episode.
Mulder may want to believe—I wanted to really, really like this reboot. So far, I'm lukewarm, based on last night's outing.
But I'll keep watching, remaining on the lookout for what made me a fan in the first place.
Cheers...
