The X-Files Friday Feature: You Got Your Science In My Fiction

Or maybe you got your fiction in my science? (Hrm, now I want some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.)

The X-Files Season 5, Episode 10: Chinga

Remember the rule of The X-Files: children are evil or creepy, often both. This goes doubly so for dolls. And even more so for dolls in episodes co-written by Stephen King.

The X-Files Season 5, Episode 9: Schizogeny

In every season of The X-Files, there is at least one completely incomprehensible episode. In season five, that episode is 'Schizogeny'.

Because seriously, I don't get it.

The X-Files Season 5, Episode 8: Kitsunegari

Just like in 'Tooms', when I didn't even remember 'Squeeze', I was a little confused for the first few minutes of 'Kitsunegari'. OK, so Mulder and Scully apprehended someone, and that's when I should have realised this would be a sequel episode continuing from a similarly creepy first episode - Mulder and Scully never worked together before the series began. It should have been obvious that this was a followup to something we'd already seen.

The X-Files Season 5, Episodes 6/7: Christmas Carol/Emily

NOPE. A world of NOPE. I have no idea what the hell is going on or why. This was a very uncomfortable hour and a half.
