There's a slowed-down version of it that they used to do live sometimes that's pretty good.

Me too. I must be a dad!

@Whatwhatque:disqus Interesting, thanks!

I'm don't keep up with country music, so I'm wondering—is his politically progressive thing a recent development? Literally the only thing I know about Brad Paisley is that he did that song where he lists all the ways he's like the Tim Allen version of what a man is, not like those queers who care about their skin and…

There's a Pearl Jam song (Rearviewmirror) that ends with some hard drumming and then the sound of the the (now ex-)drummer throwing his drumsticks against the wall in frustration.

The Tragically Hip's "At the 100th Meridian" has a whispered line, and the line is about whispering!

Let's take an informative trip to Canada in the 80s: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I was one of few non-religious kids in my small-town high school, and going to a Bad Religion concert when I was 17 felt to me like what (I supposed) the religious kids felt at the Christian music festivals they always seemed to be attending.

A bran muffin is the highest honour flour can achieve.

Agreed! Meet me back here in the fall to discuss this.

Another nod to the pilot: Scully coming into Mulder's motel room in a health-related panic, leading to some kind of intimate scene (and she gets to be more clothed in this later one, haha).

Je Souhaite has the best Netflix description of any episode in the series: "A man without a mouth and an invisible corpse lead the agents to a genie who grants Mulder three wishes."

The video for that one is so haunting, too.

I was about to say, "But what about that ending? When they're all giggly and walking off into the night with a credit card to blow on god knows what? Did you see the picture above?" But then I realized that your comment captures pretty much exactly how I feel about PMP, and no amount of "But they dance at the end!" is…

I couldn't do it either—I even had some weird notion that I could show some solidarity with Zack by watching it this week. But nope.

Maybe it's because I was already not liking a lot of what was going on in "all things," but the crop circle woman Scully visits drove me nuts. I guess she was supposed to be some kind benevolent advisor on Scully's journey (magical lesbian?), but I thought she came off as condescending and part of that "if one…

That's true; she certainly would've known he could kill her at any time if he wanted. Though she might also have been concerned CSM was using her as Mulder bait; it wouldn't have been the first time.

I really like this analysis of En Ami, and your point about Scully and powerful men absolutely did make sense. You're right—by this point in the series, it should've taken quite a bit more to convince Scully to go along—probably a threat. It would have been interesting to see this idea happen earlier, maybe closer to…

Thanks!

You have to know you've just inspired someone to invent fecal fic.
