Wow, that title isn't confusing at all. Episode 7: 3!
Three ... vampires, apparently? This was a really strange episode, and felt really out of place, considering what we just saw and is still unresolved from the last two.
I don't even know if I can write much about this episode, because for the most part, I didn't really understand it. But also because I kind of hate that it's where it is.

The X-Files Season 2, Episodes 5/6: Duane Barry/Ascension
OK, this two part sequence really ups the ante, doesn't it? I feel like this is where the series goes from being merely good to great, and even spectacular.
And to think that at least some of this plot line came out of the fact that Gillian Anderson needed to take maternity leave.
Well, regardless of the reason, 'Duane Barry' was already an excellent episode, but then the last 2 minutes happened, and everything changed.

The X-Files Season 2, Episode 4: Sleepless
OK, this is getting seriously good. We have in 'Sleepless', for the first time, an episode that deals with government conspiracy but not aliens.
And we finally meet X, the mysterious man on the telephone who has been slipping clues to Mulder and Scully the last couple of episodes.
But really, the main plot of this episode is plenty disturbing, even without the rest of the plot going on at the FBI.

The X-Files Friday Feature: Skepticism
I read this article on Discovery the other day, and it seemed like the perfect timing as I'm writing about watching The X-Files.
Spookily, it also references a book written by a man named Chris Carter, and while that's an incredibly common name that the creator of The X-Files shares with many people, I found it interesting that he shares it also with someone who has written books attempting to discredit scientific skepticism. (Of course, I also found it ironic that someone is essentially trying to debunk skepticism.)
So obviously, as a rather skeptical person myself, and one who has been known to demand proof of things that are not immediately apparent to me, I found myself intrigued.
