I also noticed that the audio/video is out of sync prior to the opening credits, but after that it's fine.

2021-02-27 01:44:51 +0000 UTCLOL! I found your reactions and review of this episode hilarious, but I mean that in a positive way. You try very hard to get the answers to every single mystery, but I should warn you that there will be episodes where you simply won't be able to get all the answers, just like in this one. What we know is... There's a sect called the Kindred, they are similar to the Amish. It is suggested that they can seduce people with a touch / a specific thumb motion, perhaps combined with eye contact makes the effect even stronger. We know that one of them, Brother Marty, has left "their" world and loves having sex. And sex with these Kindred people is lethal to "normal" people. What's also clear is that if one stops the sex early enough they can be saved, because the police officer saved that guy in the car from death by interrupting the sex. They obviously used Mulder and Scully to get as many answers as possible, in order to find Marty and bring him back to "their" world. What we don't know is... what the Kindred *exactly* are. A race of aliens, or is the crop circle pure coincidence? Marty doesn't seem to consider himself human, because in his female form he says, at 41 minutes into the video... "touching a human man or a woman", so he basically states (believes?) he is not human. Can they really just basically teleport, as it is implied with their shadows when they take back Marty, or was that really for atmospheric purposes? We also don't know if all of them can change genders. It is my assumption that one must go through a phase, like the old guy who choked went through, some kind of ritual that is done with the body, and after the ritual that person would have the ability to change genders. Where did they go and how did they all disappear at the end? Well, going back to the 41 minute mark in your video, he/she also says, while speaking to the dead male in the bed, "The others will punish me for what I've done. They'll find me, because the day is coming, and they won't leave without me."... implying that he knows they will come for him eventually and take him with them. Why did they want him back? Because he left and was causing trouble that could be linked back to them. How did they leave and where did they go? We don't know. The ending of this episode is a big "WTF" for sure, because no one expects to see that. :D I personally enjoy this episode even though it is not a fan favorite. It had a strong impact on me, the mystery aspect of it, the whole "who the hell are these people and what are they capable of?"... as I watched it during its original airing many many years ago. Perhaps if you don't have big expectations to get all the answers regarding an episode's mysteries, you might enjoy that particular episode more. Many things are intentionally left unanswered. But there will also be episodes where pretty much everything is perfectly clear. In this case, everything that the audience was supposed to know, you more or less were able to figure out. And I think my paragraphs above sum it up good, in case you were still confused. Keep in mind that this season is still the series trying to find and develop itself, so the best is yet to come. But I loved, loved, loved your reactions and review, and had to laugh plenty of times throughout it, lol. The title "Gender Bender" should be clear in its meaning, even though you said "don't ask" after stating the title. You had me laughing there, too! I hope I'm being helpful with my comments. Next episode is "Lazarus", which I think you'll enjoy much more than this one.
