Besides her awful character, this one has many things to like about it. Holman was funny, crazy weather, great lines. "When was the last time you went on a date, Mulder?" "The blind leading the blind". The way M & S swayed during the dance scene. Good stuff.Mallenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53459300709672943412015-11-16T23:48:57.607-05:002015-11-16T23:48:57.607-05:00Juls,

I guess it's got a campiness I can get behind (the baton twirler is woefully under-appreciated, in my opinion). I think the actors sell the tone, particularly the one who plays Holman. Many think this one went off the rails the most offensively, out of the whole season.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89743385642859266832015-11-16T21:58:09.764-05:002015-11-16T21:58:09.764-05:00I agree with everything you say about the sillines...I agree with everything you say about the silliness and the tired tropes that this episode uses. Yet, there is something charming about it for me. I like the reveal that it is Holman causing the freakish weather and the sappy romantic in me loves that everyone winds up with someone in the end.<br /><br />I do think the idea that Mulder and Scully have fallen in love with each other is hit a bit hard, but my shipper heart loves it. Scully's speech gives us all hope.<br /><br />Great review!ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
