The victim's... of courshe.<br /><br />So many recognizable alum in the show just in these 3 episodes... it's great. Nice to see younger Donal Logue, always liked him even if he was a poon in this appearance.<br /><br />This show picked up really quickly... I was expecting 6 episodes watched before I started getting into the groove but I'm already all set.Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48868317990977751822020-03-28T06:51:04.170-04:002020-03-28T06:51:04.170-04:00This is the first episode I remember vividly, cree...This is the first episode I remember vividly, creepy but solidified Mulder and Scully"s working relationship. Classic X-Files monster of the week, but also a nice change of pace to leave the larger conspiracies for a while.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661434417795768656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68060878019098905362016-01-18T09:17:05.072-05:002016-01-18T09:17:05.072-05:00Thanks, garyb!

I particularly liked Tooms going into the chimney and that final scene in Scully's apartment. And bile. Bleah.<br /><br />Looking at the list of episodes I want to rewatch, I've noticed that they lean more toward shipping episodes than mythology and creepy episodes. One thing I really liked about this one was the offhand (pun intended) but sensual way Scully caressed Mulder's upper arm. So nicely done.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38023808733601145632015-05-03T07:33:59.083-04:002015-05-03T07:33:59.083-04:00Agent Tom Colton was portrayed by Donal Logue who ...Agent Tom Colton was portrayed by Donal Logue who is currently (2015) Detective Harvey Bollock in Gotham.garybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637500979727068557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-25606807910242313612012-04-02T03:12:48.339-04:002012-04-02T03:12:48.339-04:00Scary!

A sign of how good the series became that I tend to look at the first season as a bit of a yawn.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43159580895480317792009-06-04T15:19:14.402-04:002009-06-04T15:19:14.402-04:00I am and always have been a complete wuss and I di...I am and always have been a complete wuss and I distinctly remember being terrified by this episode. I may even have hidden behind my dad during most of Tooms scenes (oh to be a kid again). I guess the fact that I remember it so well after so many years proves how good/creepy the X Files could be.<br /><br />P.s. I didn't realise Horace Goodspeed was Tooms either. Nice to know that the actor didn't get type cast.jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-157807807817780732009-06-03T21:18:28.916-04:002009-06-03T21:18:28.916-04:00OMG, Horace Goodspeed is Tooms????

The X-Files actually started pretty strong, now that I think of it. I always remembered the first season as a somewhat failed season, but it's really got a lot of great stuff right out of the gate.Remcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355810571884915463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22916145697743117502009-06-03T18:33:33.968-04:002009-06-03T18:33:33.968-04:00This is the story that first got me into the X-Fil...This is the story that first got me into the X-Files. It is possibly the most unsettling piece of television of the ‘90s. The show had many great monsters but Eugene Victor Tooms (“Three names. Always ominous”) remains the best monster by far. Doug Hutchison still creeps me out to this day, even now as a hippy on Lost.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.com
