I dont totally hate this episode. I think because I like freaky cults, they always make for great eps. So its probably the one non-Mulder ep I hate the least out of S8 - dare I say I like it. *Gasp*
I'm not even touching on the chip thing (mainly because the first time I watched this it didnt register with me and now I feel like a bad fan. lol) everyone has covered it anyway. I did pay close attention to when Doggett was cutting out the slug and in some scenes I think it looks like its really low on her neck, others it looks higher. Whatev.
I also really dislike the ending where Doggett is all "you screwed up, I had to save you, arent I awesome?" No Doggett, you're really not.
PS: This was a Vince ep, wheres the Holly reference?
PPS: Scully looks hot in this ep. I know thats a given, but it had to be said.
I made the horrific mistake of watching "William," this and then "Home" right next to each other. First I'm all upset over Scully giving up Baby William. Then I'm upset over the idea that these bastards could do such a horrible thing to a pregnant lady. (The first time it aired I was terrified it was actually going to kill the baby.) Then in "Home," there's the scene after they've done the makeshift autopsy on the disfigured baby and Mulder and Scully start this "huge and in retrospect unnecessarily long but will totally end up relevant" conversation about making babies outside the police station and it's all very prophetic, especially with Mulder going on about him never thinking of Scully as the mom type. He even calls her "mom" later on as she's leaving his hotel room. I'm thinking, "You two will be making a beautiful baby three years later that will be in danger by a slug! And then Scully has to give this sweet manifestation of your love together awaaaaaaaay! After Spender makes us think he's a disfigured you, Mulder, and makes us
( ... )
Predictably, I hate this episode. What I hate most about it (aside from Doggett rescuing Scully) is the fact that she SHOULD NOT have apologized, because if he had been WITH HER, they BOTH would have been stuck there. Who would have saved them then? Plus, wasn't she there to check out a body or something? Doggett's not a doctor OR an X-Files specialist; he wouldn't have been able to contribute any significant observations. Why the heck should she have supposedly brought him along? I hate him so much, and I HATE that she apologizes for NO REASON.
However, she does look amazing in green AND her hair looks fantastic. Plus she makes this face, hee.
Oh, and like Scully would have been stupid enough to give away her gun. Please.
Me, too! I wish Doggett had been knocked out somewhere as an alternate slug host and Skinner swept in and saved them all. They could have even had a beat between Skinner and Scully about the possible fate of the baby.
It's insane how many times the "medical doctor" thing pops up in season 8. INSANE!
It's not just in S8! In the XF drinking game I made up for the early seasons, we see it quite a bit as well. We always yell things like "I'm a dentist!" instead to be weird :P
OBLIGATORY: God, Scully looks FANTASTIC in that undershirt.
Scully just keeps getting hotter and hotter. I can hardly handle her movie-hotness.
I've been doing some random drive-by commenting in this post, but I do have a few things to add. First of all, I love how Scully is using a digital camera at the beginning. Our technology-deprived Scully is growing up awww ;)
Also, apparently Doggett is calling Danny for info. WHY? I'm sure Scully wouldn't have told him :P I wouldn't have.
Those weird moans that Scully makes while tied up on the bed? Um, so not Scully and so not hot :P

I'd say that it's on par with removing the worm from Bear's neck in Ice. Except the worm is way cuter than the Jesus Slug.
