Let me spin this 3 ways: 1) Daniel throws a fit when he finds out V's not coming to the wedding and makes some compelling threat, like "you can forget about every having a role in our lives or in our baby's life, (not that V has shown anything but anathema at the prospect of being a grandmother) Naw, that's prob'ly…

I agree with @olivececile:disqus that Aiden is being set up to die for Emily, so the purpose of tonight's candlelit proposal and intimacy was to cue the audience to feel some investment in their relationship. The whole thing feels like another contrivance.

Charlotte's a Grayson. "Sincere" is a matter of weather.

Interesting take.

In addition to the relevancy of the new mythology chapter, already discussed here, I appreciated these values of Ep. 8.18:
— Galpex Orpheus rig location/camera work
— Scully playing referee to Mulder and Doggett
—First—and last?—X-Files case shared by Mulder and Doggett
—Scene of M&D jumping off the rig together
—Mul…

After Mulder's maddening ambivalence toward Scully's pregnancy since being revived, it was a relief and a grounding rod to hear the pair joking in Scully's living room—about anything, even the stupid pizza guy. A little levity, a little familiarity, a glimpse of the old charm. They left out a few earnest…

Well-argued, @txtphile. I agree that torture and psychopaths are real, and admit that I might watch similar scenes in a different kind of program. So it's not the darkness or intensity that puts me off, it's the execution—forgive the pun—of scenes and their gratuitous nature.

Naw, it's not what made the show good in the first place. They've taken a turn.

Exactly what Sally Langston would say about her term as VP.

Don't listen to them. Short posts are okay by me. If you put all this in one long post, no one would read it. Jake in uniform—yes—is the only good thing I have to say about this epi.

Lol.

Are—those—tears? OMG, what do I do now? Mellie looked like a cornered raccoon.

Sometimes I wonder if and when Diaz will say, "I won't do that." The Huck character has been hijacked and completely degraded.

C- and I'm not going to watch this nonsense even if Joe Morton and Scott Foley are in it. The enjoyment quotient is too low now. Sorry guys, I didn't sign up for this.

Pillow talk with guns reminded me a little of the "Harold's Angels" scene with Carter and Shaw.on Person of Interest.

Smacktalk! Hahahahahahaha!

If Sweeney had attended the party, they would have had to devote too much attention to what he was doing, getting him and Peter in a scene together, etc., and they might not have had time for that short but gratifying scene of the two moms. Also, Lemond Bishop—what a great photo op with Peter—Lol.
