Just a quick note: Since I'm back in Canada now, I'm going to use my old posting time which was 6pm EST, aka. the same time Kate usually posts hers as well. The post still showing the wrong timezone though, I don't know why.

I dont really remember this one. I think I liked it somewhat. I think it was Doggett who was the stand out - give that it was about his kid, but you know.

Interesting fact in the extras section about what happened to Follmer. Does anyone know if thats supposed to be what happened? Why did I always think he was in The Truth? lol.

the episode numbers on this show are crazy. i tend to watch them in order rather than how they aired on tv and it makes me less likely to throw things.

it's very upsetting that we don't get to see the fallout after William. avoiding the scully plot (which i rarely do), this is a really good doggett episode. i just wish it had aired sooner in the season.

I really love this one, maybe even my favourite in s9. The music is just gorgeous, among Mark Snow's finest work, I think. The whole episode is really beautifully shot, the atmosphere throughout the ep is very tense and sad, and Robert Patrick once again does a fantastic job here. I also like the guy who plays Cadet Hayes, he's so creepy.

Yeah, it doesn't happen often that I love an episode so much despite the lack of Scully, or although the timeline is screwed up. But this one is pretty awesome.

I agree, this was one of the good ones in Season 9. For some reason, the cadet's plotline seems very similar, but I can't remember if I read it in a book or saw it on another tv show. (This was the first time I saw the episode, so no, it's not just me remembering the episode! lol) At any rate, it was really great to see Doggett so humanized.

This is one of my favs from S9. Love the score so much!! I feel really bad for poor Luke Doggett :( The end scene always has me bawling... After Jump the Shark, William and then this ep... it's always such a shock that Sunshine Days is the next (and 2nd last ep ever :P). Makes me want to puke.
