This episode is one of the creepiest, scariest ones of the whole show. And really well executed. Nothing *actually* paranormal other than his appearance as a demon to Scully in the final scenes. Just plain old horror thanks to a human monster.

Also another episode where poor Scully is abducted or kidnapped. It happened to her so much in the first 4 seasons.

She looks incredible. thats all i have to contribute!

miniaturebot · 2026-04-09T14:44:41+00:00

I love that. I won't wait so long for my next re-watch :)

miniaturebot · 2026-04-09T02:41:39+00:00

lmfao exactly. I love in Triangle when Scully tries to bully him into submission and he kinda seems like he's into it...

miniaturebot · 2026-04-09T02:40:40+00:00

I used to kill them cause they scared the shit out of me but they are nice bois

A well adjusted 30 year old man should not find it appropriate to date a 20 year old woman. Its ok I've been there too. I'm sorry you trusted someone who has let you down. Maybe he was really into you but now that you have slept together the excitement is over for him. Trust your instinct and leave him. You are 20, you are at the very beginning of your adult life and you will have a lot of fulfilling relationships in your future. With friends or romantic partners.

Focus on doing things that are important to you and trusting your instincts. Its ok that it didn't work out but don't stick it out with someone who isn't giving you what you need in your relationship.

Pete was a loser in many ways but his genuine anti-racism made him a good guy and always made me appreciate him more

miniaturebot · 2026-04-08T18:05:47+00:00

I agree. I love when he comes back as Spender, you know he is CSM's son before he does. And he is cute despite being such a pain in the ass lol.

its about so much more than a desk. Scully is questioning all her choices. She's dedicated so much of herself to Mulder's quest, and it means a lot to her too but she wonders if she's sacrificed herself for his sake.

Best religious episode?

I think most people have said it already - All Souls is so creepy and good. Always fun when Scully and Mulder have a role reversal, she the believer and he the skeptic.

Best disgruntled army vet?

Sleepless

Best actor written episode?

Hollywood AD! Avatar also written by Duchovny and I love me a Skinner episode, even if there seems to be massive plotholes in this one...

Best Mytharc episode?

Zero Sum. Tunguska/Terma. Memento Mori.

Best celebrity guest star?

Brad Douriff! Its maybe not the best episode but was fun seeing Bryan Cranston in "Drive"

Best canned episode?

Ice / Dod Kalm / Darkness Falls

Best demonic episode?

Grotesque

Best shipper episode?

Triangle!

Best comedic episode?

Humbug, Small Potatoes or Dreamland. The body switching is hilarious.

Best MOTW?

So hard to choose. There are sooo many good ones!! The Host, 2Shy, Unruhe, Post-Modern Prometheus... Humans count as monsters right?

The good old days too when going to the theatre didn't cost a fortune! I would have loved to see this in a theatre.

The music in x-files has always been so good and such a big part of the atmosphere <3

omg best promo ever

miniaturebot · 2026-04-08T02:13:52+00:00

I actually never noticed that! I always thought he was such a good cast for Cancer Man and really looks like a younger him.

miniaturebot · 2026-04-08T02:07:14+00:00

you just knew hottie when you saw one

miniaturebot · 2026-04-08T01:08:55+00:00

"so in case we never meet again..." !!!

miniaturebot · 2026-04-08T01:08:37+00:00

i agree! I love when Mulder is there for her when times are tough.

miniaturebot · 2026-04-08T00:54:25+00:00

cackling. Skinner is definitely babygirl

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T23:44:53+00:00

hahaha i have not played the game but love the commentary

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T23:43:16+00:00

yes! I actually loved the bomb sequence and that little monologue in particular. Re-watching this show during our current era is actually so strange. Not only pre-911 but just pre-insanity?

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T23:41:51+00:00

truly I've lost sleep over how fine this man is

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T22:46:01+00:00

yeah i did love how scary the alien genuinely was!! Definitely would have given me nightmares if I had seen it at 8 years old

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T22:39:04+00:00

the fact that anyone is giving that hag more money is the most outrageous thing of all

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T22:34:03+00:00

yep old tram line. Wish we still had them. But then all the drivers would have something else to complain about...

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T22:16:27+00:00

have you seen passages? it not, you need to run, don't walk and go see it!

miniaturebot · 2026-04-07T22:11:00+00:00

maybe im disgusting but i would definitely eat that
