X-Files 07x22, "Requiem"

Jul 08, 2015 07:22


Overall not a bad episode except, you know.

"All units, we have a 1013."
Hey, the gang's all here.
noooooooooooo CSM :( :( :(
So Lariat isn't owned by the FBI after all? I kind of wondered, thought maybe it was--keep their agents in cars when necessary and make some money on the side.
Dead body in the trunk, nbd.
So this lady isn't "barren" (not a terribly clinical term, Scully) but Scully is, or is this a hint? I mean besides Scully suddenly getting all weird and fainty, which my early training in (melo)dramatic writing tells me is clearly a sign of pregnancy. Though perhaps already knowing is affecting my judgment.
Where are they staying, the Great Northern?
"I just want to get warm." Jebus, Scully, flimsiest pretext evar, also, IS THIS THE PART WHERE WE CAN STOP PRETENDING THEY'RE NOT FUCKING? I mean, even before the pregnancy bombshell?
Also, fuck you, Chris Carter. Though I guess David's as much to blame for this as Carter is.
"There has to be an end, Scully." FUCK YOU BOTH
Mulder just did the lower-back thing to Billy. o.O
That trapped in the force field/accelerated time effect is the goofiest thing ever.
Hey it's that guy with the face!
Why I Still Don't Like Skinner #437
"I'm not gonna risk.......... losing you." FUCK YOU BOTH
I don't know if it's better or worse that Scully doesn't actually witness it herself.
Krycek you asshole.
"Just running some tests." The rabbit done died.
...and there's me crying in my office on my lunch hour. I was mostly okay when it happened but emotional!Skinner? Killed me.

And now begins the official hateblogging of Season 8. And who knows, maybe 9 too. I'll try to write actual coherent opinions going forward, but I can't promise anything.
