Orcus, in Roman mythology, was a god of the underworld who punished oathbreakers. It was also the name of his particular corner of the afterlife. The name “Orcus” eventually evolved into the Italian orco, which referred to a type of man-eating monster. Orco, in turn, inspired the creation of Orcs by JRR Tolkien.

Aww, you skipped over the 80's (?) music video at the beginning of the episode. I think that was supposed to be Merry’s mom back in her heyday, rockin Jane Fonda hair and a jumpsuit, with Smoothie on the Keytar. He seems to be again gracefully... or maybe he really is a doll and doesn’t age at all.  

While watching the “leather-furry-bug-alien sex part,” Mrs Lizardo asked “what the fuck is going on?” then the giant teletubby thingies showed up and she said “Oh, that explains it.”

Nothing about this show was upsetting in the least

I thought Mulder was too over the top with that line, and others, and it made me think he’s been doing that a lot this season, like he’s too cool to be taking this seriously.

“Dumb as a soup sandwich” is my new favourite put-down. Thanks Happy!

I think it was Spiderman.

Beebo is out lord and savior, after all.

That’s... wow, not even close to an accurate comparison.

I loved this episode. Especially all the callbacks and Easter Eggs.

Blue stars only affect boys. Pink stars only affect girls. IT’S SCIENTIFIC.

I have asked this before, but how does Sam have so much free time as a CEO to make daytime lunch visits and disappear all the time as Reign?

Charlotte’s intimidation tactics with Pierce (Cain? Have we decided how to refer to him?) were my favorite part of the episode. When she pours the coffee she made for him (“Cream? Sugar?”) in the trashcan and then hands him back the empty mug, I cackled.

In an incredibly generic way. I bet not even their mothers could tell the difference between Chris Wood and Zach Levi when they have the same haircut and facial hair. Their frowny serious faces are identical.

Apparently no, there are no trained female DEO agents besides Alex, what a horribly staffed agency.

- Livewire is by far the best part of this episode and it was incredibly stupid to kill her off, particularly since this show doesn’t have much of a Rogue’s Gallery to begin with.

I doubt she’ll stay dead. She’ll probably be back in a season or two and her miraculous revival will be explained away as some sort of magic lightning trick, or they’ll bring in a Livewire from a different Earth. That one could be a Trump supporter, or a Nazi, or an MRA supporting woman, or a superhero gone bad, or a…

This episode also didn’t really do anything to fill in the character blanks for Imra or Psi, which is a shame because the former is an important character and the latter is played by Yael Grobglas, who is flawless on Jane the Virgin.

I was seriously bummed by that death. Brit Morgan chewed the scenery with as much enthusiasm as Wentworth Miller does as Captain Cold.

I’m baffled about Livewire. Why take an engaging villain - played by a fun actress - build her towards becoming some sort of antihero, and then simply kill her off? We could have spent all season with her, and then see her killed by Reign, for a much better knife in the heart.
