Tuning In Episode 86: The X-Files, Demons/Gethsemane
Well, we’ve reached the end of another season, and it’s a very personal end, as “Demons” finds Mulder once again questioning his memories, and “Gethsemane” finds Scully dealing with family matters. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 85: The X-Files, Zero Sum/Elegy
Skinner goes off on his own for mysterious reasons, in “Zero Sum”, and we get… SIGH…. another John Shiban episode with “Elegy”. Also! Mitch Pileggi in his underwear. We don’t need to say more. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 84: The X-Files, Synchrony/Small Potatoes
The X-Files finally does a time travel story in “Synchrony”, and Darin Morgan makes a surprise appearance in “Small Potatoes”. Plus! Tuning In is hungry. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 83: The X-Files, Tempus Fugit/Max
The mythology returns once again, and this time, it’s a tight two-parter about alien abductions and the return of old characters, in “Tempus Fugit” and “Max”. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 82: The X-Files, Kaddish/Unrequited
We get another X-Files spin on religious mysticism in “Kaddish”, and then we get an X-Files spin on an invisible assassin in “Unrequited”. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 81: The X-Files, Never Again/Memento Mori
“Never Again” finds Scully in a rough place emotionally, as “Memento Mori” finds Scully in a rough place physically. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 80: The X-Files, El Mundo Gira/Leonard Betts
“El Mundo Gira” is a much less competent riff on “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”, whereas “Leonard Betts” is a much more competent riff on “Squeeze”. Also! Scully has cancer, apparently. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 79: The X-Files, Terma/Paper Hearts
The latest mythology two-parter second part, “Terma”, is just another mythology episode. However, “Paper Hearts” is very much a heretical questioning of one of the central mysteries of The X-Files. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 78: The X-Files, Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man/Tunguska
Glen Morgan’s first solo script for The X-Files, “Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man”, raises a lot of questions about the titular characters but doesn’t provide any concrete answers. “Tunguska” is another mythology episode that doesn’t provide any answers. We’re starting to see how you got your reputation, The X-Files. iTunes RSS
