The X-Files Friday Feature: Midpoint

What incredible timing. By watching four episodes a week and pairing the two part episodes, I've managed to finish season four on a Thursday.

More importantly, I've very nearly reached the halfway point (the actual halfway point will be after S5E4 or S5E5, depending on how you count the movies) of the series. It's time to revisit a few things.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 24: Gethsemane

I refuse to believe the lie. That would be too easy.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 23: Demons

So it looks like it's time for the annual game of "Did Mulder murder someone?" Only this episode is a lot better than 'Grotesque', because in addition to being a good mystery, it explores some more of Mulder's backstory and his memories involving his sister's abduction.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 22: Elegy

Does this remind anyone else of 'Irresistible'? That's kind of the vibe I got from 'Elegy', especially when Scully herself became involved in the case and experienced a strange connection to it that she wasn't entirely able to explain or deal with.

The X-Files Season 4, Episode 21: Zero Sum

Scully is absent, the bees are back, and Skinner is trying to have Mulder implicated in a massive coverup on the orders of the Cancer Man. Oh, and also it turns out that the Cancer Man is working with Marita Covarrubias, Mulder's latest informant. Of course.
