Well, Jeff Goldblum does it in The Fly, but it's still pretty shocking when it happens in "2Shy."

No, we see the whole Bruckman. And Scully holds his hand. I wouldn't want to take the hand of a man who died during autoerotic asphyxiation.

I absolutely hated "2Shy" the first time I watched it, but I went back to it a few years ago and thought it was very effective. Your reaction seemed to split the difference.

It's basically a sequel, both in that it deals with Scully becoming "immortal" and that it returns to a man who has had a peculiar experience of "seeing" death. Unfortunately, because it makes death a single material entity, that episode is far less interesting- and truthful- than "Clyde Bruckman's…". Not to mention…

Darin Morgan is the only X-Files writer who accurately saw the tragedy in Scully's devotion to Mulder. He made her a deeply sympathetic, compassionate, funny, intelligent, and slightly quirky person. He built on his brother's work, particularly in "Beyond the Sea," but his Scully is so much more complex than Glenn's…

The elements that always stand out most strongly to me in "Clyde Bruckman…" are the images of the grotesque or comical amid the mundane. Bruckman seeing the doll transformed into a beastly thing on the fortune teller's shelf; Bruckman finding the corpse in his dumpster; the "fat little white Nazi storm trooper"; the…

I'm glad it has that afterthought of a mystery. By making the mystery so secondary to the character drama, Morgan was criticizing the genre just as energetically as he was in his later scripts. "Why worry so much about these ridiculous whodunnits," he asks, "when real life and death surrounds you?"

$350 Million? That's Actually Fairly Impressive.
But he still shan't be invited to the country club until he swears off all those moldy old hippie ideals of his.

My grandfather was shot in the arm at Pearl Harbor. My dad has forever referred to the Japanese as "Japs." It doesn't matter. He loves Westerns. I showed him Seven Samurai, and he thought it was great.

Sell your friend on the internet for donkey scat porn. When the shippers come to take him, tell him he's worth a mouthful of donkey shit to you. Also, that human trafficking's ignored in some Eastern European countries.

Me too, Raging Bear. That shit was brilliant.

I was using my stick on your mom this morning, and she thought it was amazing!

Yeah, my S.O. just started the show a few days ago. I just finished it on Saturday. They're actually preventing people from watching the show. As if people needed another reason to not subscribe to Starz.

On the Plus Side…

I had a virus back one day in 02 that was so intense I couldn't drink water w/o throwing up. When I was conscious, I read Positively Fourth Street. I went to sleep that night in the grip of my fever and had an incredibly visceral dream of playing rhythm guitar with Bob Dylan's band at the Newport Folk Festival in…

He played both characters, SarCCastro. Or rather, the new one, the old one's soul, and the elements of the old one now integrated into the personality of the new one.

I think there's a comma there that needs to be a dash.

I think "Country Disappeared," "I'll Fight," and "Everlasting Everything" are terrific, though I'll give you that the second half of the album isn't nearly as strong as the first.
