It does.

The only character I’ve ever fully related to was Daria Morgendorffer...

I re-watched it and he doesn’t exactly say that, so my bad. They do say that he created the ghouli website and stopped taking his anti-seizure and Schizophrenia(?) medications two months prior to them finding him, so that’s probably where I got that.

I like that he sucks too. It’s not like Mulder and Scully raised him, they weren’t around to take him to space camp or throw that pickup artist book in the trash. Whether or not Miles Robbins was the right choice for the part... I don’t know.

I had trouble placing him at first, but the antique shop owner was played by Bill Dow, who appeared in a handful of episodes from the original run as Chuck Burks, imaging consultant to Mulder and Scully. He’s credited as “Pangborn” on IMDB, but I almost like to think Chuck Burks retired to run a little antique shop…

A Reggie Purdue was Mulder’s partner during his time with the violent crimes unit (in 1989) as revealed in the season one episode “Young at Heart”. Here he is with Mulder and Scully, not superimposed:

I wouldn’t call him. He’d find a way to lose all the evidence.

The way I see it, as long as these episodes are fun (like the most recent episode) I’ll keep tuning in, the franchise has been left hanging for the past 16 years anyway. If they choose to carry on without Gillian Anderson that’s when I won’t bother and I’ve been ride-or-die for this show since 1996. A cliffhanger…

If you look closely at the photo of the Lone Gunman on their desk, “This Man” dream guy is in the upper right corner. Would seem to support that what we are seeing isn’t reality.

I cringed through every episode of season 10 and last week’s ep and I thought “This” was a blast. It’s not perfect but it was fun, probably the most fun I’ve had watching this show in 17 years.

It’s Darin Morgan’s episode (Humbug, War of the Coprophages Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose, Jose Chung’s From Outer Space). It will be the former.

Chris Carter: We’re not used to Scully looking up at UFOs. We’re not used to Mulder being on death’s door.

Late to the party, but here is Bert in his formal wear.

If you worship at the alter of the brain slug you get to ride a bus around the desert in search of a suitable tabernacle.

The Detroit deal isn’t just egregious for the public funds used. The “Illitch as a savior of Detroit” narrative is bunk. Illitch bought up prime real estate in the city and let it sit derelict for 15 years (depressing the area further and preventing any organic turn around) and then colluded with the DDDA in 2014 to…

I have always attributed it to my religious upbringing. It was the first time the thought occurred to me that maybe your soul doesn’t go to heaven, maybe your soul gets sucked out and fed upon by wrinkly, toothy, evil vulture king.

The Dark Crystal made me aware of my own mortality at the age of five (the rental was a parental oversight). Nothing I’ve seen since then has come close to eliciting that level of visceral fear. I’ve never tried to re-watch it.

A Scully wins for a photo of a fox, eh?

Or Lord Kinbote, who knows a little something about imaginary kingdoms and the fallible nature of memory. Just truly an incomplete account.

Don’t all the nuts roll downhill to Florida.
