Nor Scully's sister, in the same damn episode, even though she was right about there something being actively blocked in Scully's memory. I hope the shot actually was fatal - the loud gunfire scared me lol. But I prefer that over the ridiculous silencer'd sound of them. Very cool start to the season.Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-27020614904113428782016-01-20T19:18:32.604-05:002016-01-20T19:18:32.604-05:00I agree -- terrific review, Heather.

I especially liked the reference to indigenous practices in this series of episodes. This was something that wasn't really done at the time and I think it was done well even by today's standards. For me, X-files introduced ideas and things about the world that I probably wouldn't have thought about otherwise or thought about in the same way. drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-882933673398846332014-04-10T08:54:04.755-04:002014-04-10T08:54:04.755-04:00For a show that is, at its core, a story about a p...For a show that is, at its core, a story about a partnership, it is amazing how well it works when the partners are separated for the entire hour. Scully is the heart of the duo, and all of her best qualities are on display. I would think it very difficult, if not impossible, to watch this episode and not become completely entranced with this woman.<br /><br />Mulder's journey is also interesting to watch, but it is Scully's that drives this episode and makes it such a great opening to the season.<br /><br />Wonderful review, Heather. I found myself nodding in agreement throughout.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
