The first fully funny and self-aware episode of X-files. It also managed to have a heart.
Mulder getting dragged this episode, and I am here for it. That shot of him “standing” towards the end cracks me up still.
Can’t believe despite seeing Buffy (my fav show) 20+ times I didn’t recognize the actor here until you pointed it out. I am ashamed.
I love how Mulder and Scully kept getting called out for making nefarious assumptions that turn out to be wrong. It’s the exact kind of assumptions Mulder specifically makes in most X-files episodes that often turn out to be right. It’s a clever way of poking fun at the shows genre format, and undermining some of it for an episode at least.
I really enjoyed the side characters here, particularly the hotel owner and Dr. Blockhead the escape artist. Glad to see you both enjoyed a lighter episode of the X-files (not everyone does alas).
