Eee, Monday! I am really in bad need of cheering up today, and I think this will do the trick nicely.
ALSO: On a completely shallow note, Mulder’s stomach is INSANE. Let's all pause together and look at it for a little while. Oh, no need to tell me! I always do. It can't be helped.
I’m not saying anything either way, but I MAY OR MAY NOT use the pause button a lot while watching this episode, because for a large portion of it, Mulder is wearing pajama pants that are thin, damp and pale yellow, and NOTHING ELSE. HAHA GOD, I KNOW. I have a friend who got to watch them "blow up" the bank when they shot the episode, and uh... this happened the previous day and caused quite a lot of "twittering" amongst the crew. David, bless him, was completely clueless about it, wandering around covered in fake blood. She even has an awesome picture. My friend K. has the best stories, pretty much ever.
then after she asks him about it, he does this slow turn, like, “Damn, she seems pretty interested. Maybe I should’ve casually mentioned it to her
( ... )
I'm really looking forward to your caps of this episode. There aren't enough currently online to appreciate the glory of Mulder's yellow PJ bottoms. I'm counting on ya, Zellie.
Hee, I may be back to this post in a bit with some, just for y'all. Because... I could use some total mind candy to take my brain off the past eight hours, I'm telling you. Keep an eye out! ;D
Yay! I always seem to do these at the perfect time.
David, bless him, was completely clueless about it, wandering around covered in fake blood. Hee, I love that! It's kind of sweet. And he does seem like it wouldn't occur to him that it might, you know, cause a bit of a fuss.
I think Polly's CTP of this episode started referring to her as "the woman who really needs to get shot". I could not agree more. Yeah, that's what they call her in the transcript, too. Her shrieking in the first (I think?) holdup is ridiculous!
KIIIIIM. D: I knoooow. I was really paying attention to the direction while I watched, and it's top-notch.
I think my favorite is when he falls backwards over his shoes, but... don't make me pick. YES. And there's that great, low angle shot of him sitting on the floor behind his shoes.
Just another one of your garden variety "Oh, MULDER" moments.It's the "blah blah blah" that kills me! Yeah, sure, Mulder

Aw, I love your recap thingies. You always have interesting things to say in places where I would be reduced to randomly mumbling "Pretty!" or "I want to go to there".
After picking up his unsigned check, he sing-songs “Endorsed my damn check stub,” before slamming the desk drawer closed. True story: I apparently have poor hearing, and for many, many years, I thought he was saying something like “Endorsed by Dan Shasta.” I just assumed that “Dan Shasta” was, like, a baseball player from the 70's who I’d never heard of, and that Mulder was singing a jingle from a commercial for something that “Dan Shasta” had endorsed. (Shasta soda? Probably. Also, cut me some slack, I was 17!) But then, finally, the closed captions on the DVD were all, “Hey, dummy. Here’s what he’s saying! Dan Shasta is not a person.” I'm glad I know now, because the real line is totally cute. Best.Aside.Ever.
Speaking as someone who began her HR career in 1999, I can confirm that yes, they did have direct deposit waaay back then. Whether it was available to federal employees I do not know. ;)
"Dan Shasta" is the most hilarious thing ever! I'll have to see if I can hear that next time I watch "Monday". *g* This episode is so good. And not just because of the yellow pajama pants, although that doesn't hurt. Hee.
Well, I was working lame high school, part-time jobs at the time, so I know I didn't get direct deposit, so I wasn't sure if it was something that was in existence yet.
"Dan Shasta" is the most hilarious thing ever! And I'll have you know it wasn't just me! meatfight also thought it was Dan Shasta! I have a very distinct picture in my head of what fictional ballplayer Dan Shasta would look like, too. It involves a pinstriped uniform and a big, bushy 'stache.
I always get so happy when I see you've posted one of these. :)
This recap made me miss them and their dear little faces so much that I had to go and watch the episode. Success!
**I listened to the "Dan Shasta" part three times, and now that's all I can make out. I must have heard it correctly before, or at least I realized what he'd done wrong. But he really does speak unclearly!
I do apologize for ruining the scene with Dan Shasta for you! (Or making it that much better??) I can hear it correctly now, but it's definitely kind of smooshed together.
