well, if he only rapes mimes, that doesn't sound so ba-

Diaz is real purty.  

wasn't it "Louie Louie" that people were so up in arms about trying to figure out whether the lyrics were obscene that they completely missed the drummer yelling "Fuck!" when he dropped his sticks during the take?

No mention of Terriers?

Was this the season where they tried to keep old fans by having Duchovny voice-over Mulder's letters to Scully?  That was some seriously purple writing; "My dearest Dana…"  Christ.
