Responses to the goofy episodes seem so individual; you're either going to enjoy the ride or be really pissed off. I was in the latter camp on this one, too. This episode felt like one extremely slow-motion, 52-minute wink.

I have no memory of The Underneath; I think it was an episode that a bunch of you had earlier said was excessively gruesome, so I skipped it in the re-watch. Or else that was another episode, and I just straight-up forgot everything about this, even though I'd have watched it less than a year ago.

I love Gillian Anderson, but I could not watch more than two episodes of The Fall. It's so dark. And I love Hannibal! I just couldn't take how awful The Fall was making me feel, even though it's obviously well done and the acting is great.

"Adventures in Solitude" is such a gorgeous, underrated song. Here is an acoustic version they did for the It Gets Better campaign (it's kind of awkward to watch, but it sounds nice).

Yes! I have fuzzy memories of him from The Age of Electric and Limblifter, too.

We've seen kid-Scully in flashbacks, and she was always a red-head! I guess he meant her true shade of red, instead of the one she has there. It does change quite a bit throughout the series.

"Also, finally, it just sounds stupid whenever anyone says “Super Soldiers.”

The Mulder falling through space thing makes me laugh, at least partly because it looks like one of those between-scene shots from That 70's Show with Kelso or whoever trampolining up to the camera.

I wish I could remember the source to credit it, but I read a tweet last week that was something like, "Grown men used to say teenage girls were stupid because they liked the Beatles; now they say they're stupid because they don't."

I was 14 when Less Talk, More Rock came out. Kids would bring it to school and we'd sit in an empty classroom and listen. I remember being excited because I was just starting to think about politics and the world outside our little town. And I'm not sure how to explain this, but while we were listening, I had this…

I always thought it was weird that Scully said the baby was named after Mulder's father, when her own father (and brother) were also named William.

I've always had this sense, too, that the mythology was never really coherent. Even just the premise of the show is iffy, as someone in these comments pointed out: Why would the Syndicate, knowing that the aliens and so on that the often-dismissed spooky Mulder investigates are real, bring in a rational, credible…

It sounds nothing like Bad Religion, but Greg Graffin's solo stuff has included some traditional ol' Jesus songs, and it works for me: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Like others have said, it's really great. They play the songs straight up; it doesn't feel like a jokey novelty thing at all. Just some damn fun Christmas songs done with nice harmonies and condensed to a minute and a half each.

The best.

BUT ONLY IN ITS PASSAGE
ENTERTAINED NOT IN YOUTH
IN THE PRESENCE OF A TRUTH
AND UNREAL THREATENING CLARITY
THAT ONCE SEEMED SO DISTANT
THE NUMINOUS MYSTERIES
PUMPING IN MY BREAST LIKE A RECKONING
THE SECONDS

The only thing not even she could sell—because no one ever could—were Carter's voice-overs.

I believe everything Scully says, too! I think this is only the second time she's killed someone? It was a surprisingly emotional scene at the end of an episode that's otherwise a huge mess in its treatment of—let's see—Indians, Muslims, amputees, fat people, taste, and the dignity of everyone involved. It was creepy,…

Hey, people reading this will probably like Shaenon Garrity's Monster of the Week series (a re-watch of the show illustrated in comics).

"Roadrunners" was supposed to call back a little to "Ice," right? Nothin' better to establish trust between your two leads by having them face a parasitic worm.
