Dark and creepy. Mrs. Paddock was also so creepy. I think she will be on my top 5 MotW list. :)Zolinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-70418825758109693332022-01-06T12:46:38.867-05:002022-01-06T12:46:38.867-05:00Yeah that cold open had me laughing, but the rest ...Yeah that cold open had me laughing, but the rest of the episode turned out to just be really dark and only in an expository way. I didn't like it at all, it just made me depressed to hear that girl explaining about getting pregnant and then having her baby killed in the rituals. Just no. You wanna do disturbing material, have it shown. It's not fair to make my imagination do that stuff. <br /><br />>>"Why do the Satanists speak German?"<br />Yeah that's a little troubling...Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-985474476757095152014-01-21T14:23:12.451-05:002014-01-21T14:23:12.451-05:00Nice review and I think you nailed the oddness of ...Nice review and I think you nailed the oddness of it. I yelled at the screen - "this is the episode with the frogs" which are actually toads but my memory isn't all it used to be. I actually skipped the two weeks in biology where we dissected a pig - couldn't do it - so that part certainly creeped me out. It is only the second season and they were still trying things out so I'm not surprised that they improved upon this premise in season three.drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61089596726395910162014-01-17T23:36:41.264-05:002014-01-17T23:36:41.264-05:00Juliette,
Great review.
"You really do watch ...Juliette,<br />Great review.<br />"You really do watch The Learning Channel."<br />I always loved this episode but it might be my love of the Morgan&Wong consciousness. In so many ways, S2 slays me.

There are parts that make me shudder, especially the snake, and there are parts that make me laugh. The toads falling is hilarious. I love Mulder's quip. Snarky Mulder always makes me smile.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-2673143684713736512014-01-15T07:26:59.217-05:002014-01-15T07:26:59.217-05:00'Syzygy' is one of my all-time favourites,...'Syzygy' is one of my all-time favourites, my best friend in school and I used to quote it at each other :)Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18784738521002312912014-01-14T18:37:06.326-05:002014-01-14T18:37:06.326-05:00Your review made me chuckle multiple times, Juliet...Your review made me chuckle multiple times, Juliette. My notes for this one also reference the fact that after her world was so rocked by the grave desecration last week, Scully is now completely unfazed by a dead teenager with his eyes and heart cut out. The wonders of therapy, I suppose!<br /><br />And then my next note said: "Dan Butler! From <i>Frasier</i>!"<br /><br />I love that you used that screen cap for the episode. I think Mulder's and Scully's reactions to the toads raining on them were my favorite part of the whole thing. That or the fetal pig turning and squealing while the girl is trying to dissect it. I think that one is supposed to be a creepy moment, but it makes me chuckle.<br /><br />Other than those two moments, this one doesn't do much for me. It's such an odd little episode. I'm with you on 'Syzygy.' If I want to watch an XF take on high-schoolers messing with dark powers, that's what I'll pull up in the queue, too.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.com
