What confuses me is why have a "6-Episode Event" if it's not a 6 episode storyline?? I did like where they were going in the 1st one & while 2 sorta carried the thread, it was thin.

I'll agree it had more Californication (which I loved) in it but the old x-files had some of those too.

As for the 6 episode, from what I understand, the first and sixth one are mythology while the four in the middle are monsters. I sorta like only doing 6 shows, BBC does this a lot, to create a demand for more plus you can produce better ones without jumping the alien sorta speak.

Actually, the BBC makes 6 episode seasons because they don't have the funds to do more! (Sometimes they even do 4 episode seasons!)

The BBC is also famous for six episode story lines, which are really four episode story lines stretched out to 6, so that they get more episodes for the same money. If you have looked into "classic era" Dr Who you will have heard mention "the curse of the fifth episode". What this means is they don't really have enough story for six episodes, so episodes one to four are the main story, episode six is the ending, where the Doctor saves the day, and episode five is mostly the Doctor and his assistant being chased down corridors, trying to stretch out an extra episode with no plot, and no money left in the kitty.

This may be true but I find the quality put into them is better than a lot of shows the US does because they try to make 16 to 22 episodes for the year. That is what I was trying to get across and quite frankly I prefer it.
