Fight the Future! Now that was a title. Though it was not, I guess, officially a title, just a tagline. But it was cool. It was desperate and defiant. It made sense with the plot of the film, such as it was. And it was new. It made us feel as if a new step [...]
or Land of the Giant Cell-phones – in which Mulder is nekkid and babbling (phwoar!), Byers is a narc, Langly doesn’t believe in Government conspiracies, Frohike is only sleazy rather than sleazy and paranoid and Scully is only a twinkle in Section Chief Blevins’ eye. Oh, and there’s an appearance by a molar-pulling Mata Hari. Recap by Crass.

Unruhe! I love this episode. It’s scary, it’s tense, it has a great guest star/villain, and we get to see Mulder lose his shit over Scully in peril. Admittedly, the Scully-in-peril trope gets pretty old after a while, but back in Season 4 it still worked. I would also like to mention before [...]

I’d like to start this with a huge Shout Out to As An Amoeba because she loves this episode and I hope I do it justice. Plus, she’s really funny and I loved her recap of Deep Throat.
Let’s see… do I have everything I need here? I’ve got my notebook, Diet Pepsi and [...]
Welcome to the Premiere of Season 6! A season whose tone is so up and down, you’d think Mulder and Scully were bipolar. There are many things you have to look forward to this season. Like Scully bitching at Mulder and Mulder bitching at Scully! And don’t forget Diana Fowley’s campaign to prove to Mulder [...]

MEMENTO MORI – Remember to die, remember death, and remember you must die. Screw you Chris Carter!
This is the episode that began it all. I whined and whined about how Jessica should recap this one last episode of the X-Files and someone in the TWOP Meet Market told me to do it myself. [...]
Episode 3×17 – “Pusher”
Written by Vince Gilligan
Recap written by Adrienne (aka Starbucket)
We fade in on lettuce. Yes, you heard me. Read me. Whatever. Lettuce. Or, as I pronounce it in my head, thanks to an episode of the underappreciated series Ed, “LeToose”. Is this the episode that solves the age-old debate of iceberg vs. romaine? [...]

Cleveland, Ohio. A seedy looking chap is sweet talkin’ some honey (Get it? Huh? Sweet? Honey? Anyone? Oh brother, this is gonna be a long one…) while they sit in a car. At night. In the middle of nowhere. This is always a bad omen, especially when accompanied by Mark Snow’s High Synth Notes [...]

Teaser
We open to a starry sky in Pulaski, Virginia, on June 3, 1985. In a cute little bungalow (which really needs the weeds chopped down from its front sidewalk) the camera pushes through a dark house (like, really dark, because I can barely make [...]
Recap by Mack the Spoon
This is another of my strange little favorites. I like the over-the-top paranoia thing, and I think they did it really well in this episode. It may not be the most popular MotW of the season, but I like it even better than “Sleepless”, I think. Anyway.
The episode opens in a [...]
