Yeah, that part of the mythos I never bought. Considering Scully and Mulder went up against angels and shit all the time! :P

The "Chariots of the Gods" angle this episode goes for is rather silly, and nullified by episodes before and after (most notably "Improbable" in season 9 where God pretty much shows up, proving he isn't an aline). However, I thought that the allusions made in "The Sixth Extinction II" were pretty interesting.

They tried to justify it by saying when Mulder was imbued with the black oil ("Tunguska"/"Terma", season 4), part of his DNA was activated that made him immune to the alien infection. The Smoking Man took this part of Mulder's brain out so that he could be truly immune, but it didn't work ("Sixth Extinction II",…

Yeah, that's why I have a hard time buying these episodes. Burt shows up in season 9 and is truly played as if he is God. So obviously aliens didn't do it.

I agree. This was pretty funny, and much better than the Halloween episode.

For a second, I though you meant there were only five episodes after "Three of a Kind", and I was about to go all, 'I know everyone dogs on the last couple seasons of the show, but come on…'

Hahaha, I'm actually one of the editors working on the X-Files Project. We're trying to bulk up the reviews for the latter seasons, as they don't have very many reviews (as compared to the earlier ones). Please don't feel creeped out. :P

I think they should've picked Jim. Then he would've realized he fell into the same trap Michael warned him about in S4, then he would've left the company like they're doing this season.

Totally agree. Yeah, he's a dick, but he's so much better than Season 8 (or even 7, or 6) Andy. Yuck.

I fail to see how Jim being antagonistic towards Dwight's disregard for safety violations is "dickish".

This was a pretty good episode. I agree that the first part of the first act felt a little off, especially the cold opening (which, probably more so than any of the other times) felt like a gag written for Michael that Andy was stuck with.
