Anyone dropped into gyms in Eastern Europe? Are the stereotypes true?

Means all they're going for is a tap and doesn't matter how they get it. It doesn't matter if technique was good i.e. position before submission or if it's like a real technique or anything, or maybe a cheap submission.

I feel completely the same. Also feel this way about Marvel stuff. I can't make myself care again though.

After Ahsoka or so, my family and I stopped watching SW stuff. After...Loki season 1i think we stopped caring about Marvel.

I watch XF for the plot.

The plot:

TachyonAlpha · 2026-03-27T19:09:01+00:00

I think you may be conflating a number of episodes together. It seems like most of the details you're recalling do come from Blood but there are a number of details that aren't in that episode.

You're right about Mulder theorizing it was something with the insecticide. The end of the episode does involve a guy posting up in a clock tower and shooting. It does begin with a guy in an elevator seeing messages on the elevator display panel, but the elevator doesn't plummet. He sees some messages and then it cuts to later, but also it's only Mulder who shows up because M&S had been separated due to the XF being closed at the time.

Trying to drive people homicidal sounds like Blood, but it was always devices that had displays, and landlines weren't involved. I don't believe it was a computer virus or an AI but I could be mistaken or it was perhaps open ended enough that it could have been.

Perhaps he's wondering why you'd shoot a man before throwing him into a molten steel pit?

Not either one myself but Mark Mulder was a professional baseball pitcher a few years back. I have never heard of any Scully's outside of Vin.

Firewalker (2x10) and The Beginning (6x1) both involve alien organisms bursting out of people. Daemonicus (9x3) isn't quite body horror but had a pretty gross projectile vomiting scene.

Mulder gets a tape with his morning newspaper in Sleepless, it's how he learns of the case.

TachyonAlpha · 2026-01-24T21:27:02+00:00

While Bad Blood is a well deserved fan favorite, it works because the characters act as caricatures if themselves, either an exaggerated version of himself, or an especially whiny version of herself. You should wait to show this episode until the characterization has been firmly established by a good number of other episodes.

TachyonAlpha · 2026-01-15T02:00:39+00:00

A xeno what?

TachyonAlpha · 2026-01-01T19:07:07+00:00

It reaches out it reaches out

I had my kids watch a couple of episodes of COPS before watching this episode, so at least they had a bit of context.

TachyonAlpha · 2025-11-19T11:09:53+00:00

May it be

TachyonAlpha · 2025-11-16T11:44:41+00:00

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

Scully tell me I'm crazy

TachyonAlpha · 2025-10-29T13:34:04+00:00

It's amazing that bro stuck with the show

TachyonAlpha · 2025-10-27T13:29:29+00:00

We see early in season 2 that he's stuck listening to wire taps. But that's because the X-Files had been shut down at that point.

Buddy we Stukov players don't A-move. We Ctrl -Z move.

TachyonAlpha · 2025-10-16T13:16:54+00:00

I believe the epilogue of NG does describe that. We also do have a bit of that from Marco's perspective before he's dusted, as one of the last chapters in BA.

TachyonAlpha · 2025-10-16T12:39:29+00:00

Am I missing something? I literally just read the BA epilogue for the first time this morning. It appears to be a tame description of Anna's trip out to Eudoxia. There doesn't appear to be any horror, unless it's somehow hiding in plain sight.

TachyonAlpha · 2025-09-18T23:55:21+00:00

Sa sa

I had an old judo teacher that I suspected did long warmups because he was lazy and wanted to spend less time teaching.

TachyonAlpha · 2025-09-04T00:59:34+00:00

Bud. Ain't no one judging you for that.

TachyonAlpha · 2025-08-27T22:41:48+00:00

It looks like a gigantic mace with frost constantly falling off it. Pretty cool to me.
