The four new episodes will mark a return to the show's signature "monster of the week" style. This format will give the team something they can cleanly solve, but build into a greater story arc towards the finale. This style was a big strength for the show in its heyday, pleasing fans so much that Carter decided to bring it back.
While the short gives fans some great highlights for memories, it reveals much of the path for the new mini-series. The featurette gives sizable plot details, spoilers and a significant "twist" in the mythology Carter created 22 years ago -- all in an effort to reboot this phenom, birthed way back in 1993.
So if you're a purist, don't click the link below and just wait for 24-01-2016. But, if you're a fan like myself, who was hooked from the episode "Squeeze," seeing this short won't spoil anything - just enhance it.
Either way, "the truth is out there - waiting." You just have to choose your best way of pursuing it.
