This was a pretty crap episode. The acting in the opening scene left me speechless. I do love Scully all mussed up after her trip through the vent though.
“SHUT UP AND DROP THE GUN! I WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A GODDAMN VENT MULDER LEFT ME IN AND I AM NOT HAPPY!”
I so expected Mulder to say either “Scully! What took you so long?” or “Scully, what happened to your hair?

Did the FBI not pay their agents enough for them to have 2 phone lines? That’s sad. I used to have a dedicated modem line at home in the 90’s and I wasn’t working for the FBI.

Why is AI always so psychotic?

Ah yes, many a woman resorted to fangirling after that shot. And slashing. But that’s another story ;p

And I would like to add that, in fact, the slashiness of that scene only strengthened my belief in MSR. Nope, it did not put it in question in the least.

Not…one…bit.

You did an excellent job with (quite possibly, depending on which person/writer/producer you talk to or interview) the worst XF episode ever. It was once described as the “…biggest disappointment”. I think that’s the only thing they got right about this episode.

Oh, and please NEVER stop doing the candid pictures with random titles underneath. My personal favorite from this review:
“What a handsome boy”.

And just as an aside; I LOVE the disclaimer at the bottom of the page. I think you two are my heroes.

ROTFLMAO! This episode has soooooo many holes in it… (gee, an x-files ep with plot holes? I am deeply shocked) The phone thing when Scully’s system is being hacked always made me the craziest. I /still/ run dialup internet (thank god for high-speed at work!), and I know full well the futility of trying to call someone when your (or someone else’s) (evil) computer is online. I once had to tell a friend that I was IMing with, I need to log off so I can call 911, can we finish this chat later?

And really, Scully. Shooting at a fan blade? Really? She is so much smarter than the writers ever allowed her to be… *sigh*

Also Chel-
That picture, oh god. The memories. Global heart failure and fan trauma. It’s a long way to California-cation…

Sigh x a million. Love this. Can’t wait for season 2 when Scully becomes mysteriously 3 times her normal size and starts wearing mumuus. Then mysteriously becomes 6 times smaller and becomes galactically hot. Galactically hot. Yep I’m not sure what that means either but I’m leaving it.

Keep on blogging in the C world!

That “powerful tie” looks an awful lot like a bad Mulder tie. What’s the difference?

There is a phone in the bathroom. Right next to the toilet. It became convenient, but they always had problems with prank calls.

I like that you doom it from the beginning XD

This is where slashfic comes from.

Merry Christmas.

A BtVS reference? Ouch, didn’t think you’d sink *that* low.

…Kidding, kidding! (I don’t want to get a staked.)

investigationography–Oh, is that what the kids are calling it now?

but proclaims that he is TOO SCRUFFY TO KILL A MAN. The scruff gets in his eyes and ruins his aim?

and…Scully writes fanfiction?

I’d say that the Brad/Scully/Mulder suggestion terrified me, but after all the Scully/Mulder/Skinner fics out there, nothing scares me anymore. I’m numb.

Awkward Word. I think Jerry has a man-crush!

And what’s with the screen drawing? Pointing doesn’t work? We must draw on the poor defenseless monitor? And they can’t already tell it’s the same voice? They sound exactly alike! That’s like hearing Ben Stein lecture, and then hearing Ben Stein lecture while getting over a cold. Is that what the FBI training is for-missing the obvious and using more convoluted means to find a simple answer just for good television?

and Brad’s all BUH WHA SCRUFFY. LOL. Apparently it won’t get you everywhere, Brad! You and your scruff. The COS doesn’t give a scruffy rat’s ass.

Scullyduggery? I like it!

Side note: I love Mulder’s rant, “And you wanna talk about morality!” He gets all bug-eyed and crazy. It’s TV gold.

And…I think I have a problem. I’m step-by-step reviewing your step-by-step review. Oh…dear…

This probably says something dark about my inner psychology, doesn’t it? I think s-”ALIIIEEENNNS!” *Mulder yells and proceeds to chase after me with a giant butterfly net*

You can divide the furrie industry into two types of people: fluffy and… well, fluffy.
