Squeeze

Squeeze what?

Oh, right, upon seeing that creepy face in the storm drain, I remembered this episode.

No, it is not about IT.

Oh, liver, yummy!

Fox with his sunflower seeds again, but still no more glasses.

A polygraph is used, which we never see in crime shows anymore.

One part of this episode makes no sense, the part involving Dana's necklace being removed. As a regular wearer of a necklace, as is Dana, I would notice if it was missing. Dana never noticed it missing. And it was not her religious cross necklace, which she always wears, which makes it that part of the episode even weirder.

At the end, they handcuffed him. Couldn't he have just squeezed his hand out of the handcuff?

Also at the end, it's clear he will be able to escape through the food slot in the door.

Conduit

The title alone makes me think this is the lightning episode.

Nope, I was wrong. Seeing them sleeping outside the motor home in their sleeping bags reminded me of this episode.

Fox: "Something's out there."
Dana: "Stop running after your sister."

Why couldn't they show the face of an alien in that image viewed from upstairs?

Dana: "She's unconscious, but she's still alive."
Then why are you doing CPR on her, aren't you supposed to be a doctor?

Dana is listening to a tape of Fox under hypnosis, recalling the night his sister was taken. I recall a memory reenactment later in the series where the details are different than Fox is describing on the tape.

Best 3 episodes, IMO. No extraterrestrials required.

Don't forget freeze or frozen, or something. The one with 'we are not who we are'. And The one with THE incestuous hillbillies.
Also have a great weakness for post-modern prometheus and 'bad blood'. And any ep with THE lone gunmen in it.

Stand alones were always better than the larger story. (Unlike 'fringe'.)

EDIT: 'Freeze' or 'frozen'... It's, 'Ice', Obvious, you dolt.

The Jersey Devil

So, that's where the devil resides.

Fox decides to stay in Atlantic City to do some poking around, but Dana wants to head back for her godson's party. He hands her the keys and she speaks as though she cannot possibly drive back on her own, even though she does.

The homeless people of the 90s certainly looked better than they do today.

Seriously, a cop mistakes Fox for a homeless person in that suit he wears?

Oh, there's his glasses again; he sometimes uses them to read, but not always.

Ah, yes, the days of pagers.

The devil is female; I always knew that.

Shadows

That title is not vague at all.

It appears this woman has psychokinesis, though if I remember correctly it is actually the ghost of her dead boss who is doing it.

And of course Dana missed the man's body floating in the air as the ghost was choking him.

Even though Dana wears a cross, upon more reflection she wears it more as a reminder of her mother than anything else, she does not allow her scientific mind to cloud any religious views she may have. For instance:

Fox: "Do you believe in an afterlife?"
Dana: "I'd settle for a life in this one."

S01E07
Ghost In The Machine

Two ghost episodes in a row?

Did the elevator voice skip stating "thirteenth floor"? If I am correct, I think I remember learning somewhere that buildings with thirteen floors or more never have a thirteenth floor labeled or recognized due to superstition.

Could this episode really be called an X-File? It seemed more science fiction, not paranormal, in nature.

I don't recall seeing "Ice". I'll check it out, if X-Files is still on on Netflix.

For comedic value I enjoyed "Home", when Mulder and Sculley went undercover as a married couple, and the POV vampire episode with Luke Wilson as Sheriff in an entire town of bloodsuckers. Funny stuff....lol.
