Right. All we saw was Bates walking away from the Abbey, looking like a determined henchman.

Ooooo, DRIVE! One of my all-time favorite episodes.

Sorry we missed more of Lawless. She was fantastic.

Yes, when Doggett first spotted the man in the quarry—who reacted and ran more like Duchovny than O'Quinn—I thought Mulder might have lured the SS there, knowing the iron would destroy him. But if Mulder was there, why would he not have revealed himself to Scully, however briefly?

Yes. Hot. As. Hell.
The first time I saw these episodes, I was in "missing Mulder" mode and did not fully appreciate what Patrick brought to the show. Now I really dig him. So believably earnest. Great physicality—he really scraps. And the eyes.

Once they are revealed as Super Soldiers, all of the SS characters lose their manners.

Watching Trust No 1 was like watching some kind of disintegration. Everything seemed to fall apart. The NSA Agent doing surveillance was intriguing in almost a Deep Throat kind of way—at least, Scully was hoping to learn something by following his directions into "the middle of nowhere". And—oooooo!—he can blow up a…

"Your staring over my shoulder doesn’t make me go faster."

I love the b&w images, especially on the train boards—nostalgic of old noir. Anderson is tres photogenic.

I really like the way John Doe is filmed. Kind of an exciting change from the usual blue filters they use for the series.

I had momentary hopes for The Shadow Man to become iconic, due to his omniscient presence and the fact that Doggett gave him a handle. But alas, he is ore dust. I did like the scene of his magnetization and demise.

The first time I watched Trust No 1, I thought the station agent was in the know. This time, I thought he was just carrying out procedure. I don't know of any such rule, though it makes sense that if there were a present danger to passengers, they would not want a shooter to board; nor would they want the passengers…

Combine the camera surveillance inside her home, and the fact that The Shadow Man knows her clothing size and commanded her to change clothes in "the middle of nowhere"—oh, but "there is no nowhere anymore, Agent Scully"—and O'Quinn's character has some pervy undertones.

*pulls on sleeves*

Sad to see him go. Loved Pa Walton. Waite was really great in Carnivale. Half of his time onscreen he was catatonic, acting with eyes only. Brilliant.

Goodnight, John Boy.

Yes! Very cool little history lesson there. I was intrigued by everything Yoon said.

Worth a rewatch. I'll go check it out.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll put that scenario out of my mind for now. It's not that I want it to end well. It's that I don't want it to end at all.

Nope. Not bored.
