I don’t get the hate for this one in the comments. It’s definitely one of my favourite episodes, probably topping the list in the “creepy one-hit wonders” category (as opposed to the conspiracy episodes). The inexplicable shared knowledge / telepathic communication / incredibly detailed long-term plan is the best and creepiest part of it.. and when it comes right down to it, the patricidal, scheming little girls in this one really _are_ patricidal, scheming little girls and not some sort of monsters in human suits — clones or not, they’re human. It’s a subtler sort of monster of the week that was pretty effective on me. I guess it’s not very scary when you’re snarking your way through the DVD set, but to my mind it’s worth naming a band after (though I’m afraid I’ve never heard of the band).

X-Files never felt like it was trying to be scientifically plausible to me, so the fact that cloning doesn’t work like this really didn’t bother me — suspension of disbelief and all. (In fact, I have a much harder time suspending my disbelief on less technical points, such as how Scully can stay a hardcore skeptic for so long throughout the series after all she experiences..)

[Josh] It’s hard to imagine Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space” making it as a commercial pop-rock success…

Oh, I don’t know. I think “Lord Kimbote” could have rocked the music world. I would see them live, showing up in a horribly-crafted orange-alien-thing costume, of course.

One of my faves, too. There’s something about fascinating about twins; especially creepy twins.

Dude, Esmeralda even TOLD me that y’all had done this ep a while back and I still didn’t read until today. I am made of fail.

As seriously plot-holed eps go, I did rather like this one. But that’s not saying much. ;) Those little girls FREAK ME OUT, man. Kinda makes you wonder if they’re really good little actresses, or if their parents have a lock on the bedroom door and sleep with a knife under the pillow… ;)

And I must agree with Calraigh – Tinapalooza is made of win!

And yes, Chel, Esmeralda’s story totally wins the thread. And if you know her at all IRL, it’s /so/ like her to do crazy stuff like that. Awesome. :)
