New X-Files mini series discussion

[Clueless Morgan]

I enjoyed it; it was fun, funny, silly and generally what I enjoy about Darin Morgan episodes. It might have lacked a bit of the dry, serious undertone that episodes like Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose had, but I still thought it was good.

And I cannot believe it has been left up to me to point out that the two stoners at the very beginning were the same stoners from Quagmire that are sitting on the dock at the lake licking frogs! Did no one else pick up on that?!?

This guy is not only in Quagmire, but he's also the stoner in The War of the Coprophages, too!

That was GREAT!!!   Gotta love D. Morgan.  Though, I still find G. Anderson's line delivery very Un-Scully like at times.   What do you guys think?

I think she's gotten some distance between the original show and now so that she's trying to bring something new to Scully. Maybe the idea is that since she's become a pediatric super-doctor she's learned to have a better, more personable bedside manner and that has changed her since coming back to the X-Files.

I realized tonight: I really don't like the way they handle Scully's character.  Her skepticism always comes off as... flat-earth atheist.  Which is kind of weird, since she's the Catholic and Mulder's the Atheist.

She's never been a very good skeptic.
