Well-manicured
Actor John Neville, of Baron Munchausen and X-Files fame (wherein he played the ‘Well-manicured Man’, one of the conspirators and ally of the Cigarette Smoking Man), has died. He was a fine actor and will be missed, even if he … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Gender Bender”
“He’s the ultimate sex-magnet”. (Fox Mulder) Insular religious sects are always a good breeding ground for tales of supernatural suspense, so it was just a matter of time until The X-Files got there. “Gender Bender” is that episode, and it’s…well, … Continue reading

X-Files Case Report: Beyond the Sea
“I know that you and Dad were disappointed that I chose the path I’m on instead of medicine, but I need to know: was he at all proud of me?” (Dana Scully, to her mother) After “Fire” gave us some … Continue reading

X-Files Case Report: “Fire”
Scully: “I forgot what it’s like to spend a day in court.” Mulder: “That’s one of the luxuries to hunting down aliens and genetic mutants. You rarely get to press charges.” After taking a bit of a break from The … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Eve”
“One girl was just abducted.” “Kidnapped.” “Potato, po-tah-to.” (Mulder and Scully) “Eve” is one of the stronger episodes of the first season, and it’s actually a very memorable tale, only partially undone by some poor storytelling in the last act. … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Fallen Angel”
Hot on the heels of the lackluster “Space” comes an episode that marks a serious improvement: “Fallen Angel”. This is a terrific episode, one that establishes a surprising amount of background for the mytharc that would come to dominate the … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Space”
It’s a bit of lore in UFO circles that astronauts saw strange things outside their spaceships during their flights in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo days, although – of course – nothing really “official” has ever come of it. This … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Ice”
“We are not who we are.” Back when I was watching X-Files episodes on VHS releases that only included six episodes from each half-season, the episodes in those packages were chosen for either story (being part of the mytharc) or … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Ghost in the Machine”
“The machine’s a monster, Scully! It’s already killed two people.” Looking back on some of these early episodes, it’s surprising to me to see how derivative some of these shows were of other, earlier stories from movies and teevee. “Ghost … Continue reading
X-Files Case Report: “Shadows”
“I’d say you people already suffer from full denial.” (Agent Mulder) The X-Files was so much more than aliens and government conspiracies; it actually drew on just about every occult phenomenon it could find over the course of its run. … Continue reading
