And downtown isn't large. Just check it out on google maps to double check. And Bucks County ≠ Downtown Philadelphia.

Somebody wrote that they got sick before shooting, so their voices reflect that here and there. Why it's most confusing is that the episodes are not being shown in their filming order.

Carter should just have made the conspiracy explicitly about their child for the season, instead of whatever the hell that first episode set up.

I'm really curious about how these episodes are being shows out of production order. This was actually intended to be the second episode of the run, and last week's is episode 5. The most shocking thing is how well shuffling the order has worked out.

Yes, this episode was entirely focused on Mulder coming to terms with himself. Scully got plenty of great lines and reaction shots, but ultimately everything she did was reinforce Mulder's path toward accepting himself. She was well utilized, but it makes sense that for one episode she played a much lesser role in the…

Actually, it was totally on theme with the episode. The hooker was just one of many things that was an example of transition (age, sex, lizard to man, relationships, etc).

Is that loosely confirmed? I was so so hoping that Denise would be in the new run.

Actually, it was in line with the theme of transition that was the entire point of this episode. The hooker transitioned, the were-human transitioned, Mulder is transitioning in life, life and death transition (graveyard scene), Scully and Mulder are transitioning in their relationship, I think one other commenter saw…

Damn are you critical of people in their early to mid 50s. Geriatrics seems way harsh. Duchovny does indeed have dad-bod, but Gillian is aging like all women, which involves losing fat in your face and any general softness that would have been there in her 20s. Yes, she was in her twenties when this show first…

Or all things Anya.

I loved everything about his delivery and the story told. I just wish things were reconfigured so it wasn't all thrown in that chunk of a scene.

It's hard for me to think about that since they both aired within 3 years of each other on the same network. Buffy seemed more inline with the 90s love of paranormal and the occult more than necessary following any other television inspiration. But then again, I was pretty young back then and wouldn't have made such…

You know what, that's such a great comparison. This is so much like the high comedy Buffy episodes too.

I saw this at the Grove the week after. It definitely was wonderful being in a full theater of fans for this episode.

That was such a perfect back and forth delivery.

AMEN to his skills being truly special.

eh, it was a little too long. that would be my one complaint about the episode.

The story telling with Guy at the graveyard went on too long, but everything here was a hoot. This was such a great episode.

Probably some BS about music licensing being territory specific.

I'll give you that the wig she has to wear is terrible. It does look better as the series goes on, but that's clearly the one thing that detracts from her look here.
