The X-Files is a show that my husband watched occasionally with me, but these last few seasons have been mostly terrible, so I've been embarrassed to share these later episodes with him. This is the first episode that I want to show him, from recent episodes. I loved it. Of course, it's a rip-off of Black Mirror, but I don't care. It's also referencing that old Twilight Zone episode with Agnes Moorehead were she's mute and the little alien robot is attacking her. <br /><br />I loved the fact that Scully's in a high tech home, while Mulder's in an old one. It was great that Mulder called that out. I wish that these last seasons of X-Files were mostly stand-alone and had few, if any, mythology eps. William should have been forgotten, along with the alien soup of myth.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20158187129124610622018-03-08T08:42:17.470-05:002018-03-08T08:42:17.470-05:00Yes, that was the insinuation I got, too, Billie. ...Yes, that was the insinuation I got, too, Billie.

I absolutely loved it and laughed through the whole thing. Along with the stuff you mentioned in your wonderful review, Heather, I particularly loved the lack of dialogue. The little moment when Mulder says, how come your house is so much nicer than mine? And the end where... I mean, I *think* that this all happened because the robot restaurant was angry that they didn't leave a tip, am I right? It's such a human reaction. :)Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66001029823222120592018-03-08T06:24:56.570-05:002018-03-08T06:24:56.570-05:00Scully' security password was Quequeeg, same a...Scully' security password was Quequeeg, same as her dog.<br /><br />The whole restaurant scene felt soulless, with the utter lack of dialogue, the low lighting and the robot kitchen staff. The dining area could have fit into Kevin Flynn's base in Tron Legacy. Definite got the message across, and a huge contrast to the diner at the end, bustling with people and looking more comforting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
