The X-Files Season 4, Episode 4: Unruhe

Well, here's another brilliant and disturbing episode that only minimally involves paranormal activity. Though that minimal paranormal activity does provide the clues they need to break open the case. And to rescue Scully, because she gets abducted. AGAIN. She's a decent investigator and a good scientist, but holy shit she is not genre savvy. Yes, let's pursue a mentally unbalanced man already suspected of stalking his victims and using a powerful dental anaesthetic to subdue them. JUST SAYING.

Also, sharp things near eyes. STOP.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 3: Teliko

Um, guys. Writers. Composers. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

'Tribal' or 'exotic' music in an episode about West African immigrants? Yes, clearly someone must have thought that was a good idea.

This is going to be 'Fresh Bones' all over again, isn't it? Yeah, this isn't going to be easy to write about, because like 'Fresh Bones', I didn't really like the episode.

The X-Files Friday Feature: Nightmare Fuel

Since I just finished watching 'Home', this is probably the time to talk about nightmare fuel, which The X-Files contains rather a lot of.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 2: Home

Holy shit this episode is disgusting. Which I already knew.

'Home' is rather horrifying, but reasonably well done, all things considered.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 1: Herrenvolk

Everything dies. Well, that's bleak.

And we start season 4 with the other half of 'Talitha Cumi'. To be continued, indeed. I actually watched this more or less immediately after finishing season 3, because there was no way I was going to let that cliffhanger keep me up all night wondering what was coming.
