ug. i woke up with a little alcohol still left in my system. i have to drink heavily in order to tolerate the horrible writing on “X-Files,” which my SO insists isn’t that bad. shudder
my new impersonation of scully: “i am a scientist!”
Nothing wrong with Doggett that a little good writing couldn’t handle. The whole show is about 3 seasons past it’s sell-by date. So why do I keep watching? Feh.
When are we going to get a Lone Gunmen spinoff? Here’s an idea:
3 Lone Gunmen and a Baby: Scully discovers via amniocentesis that her baby is a hybrid of herself, an alien, Mulder, and the lone gunmen. Unable to handle this, she leaves the baby with the Lone Gunmen shortly after it’s birth, then disappears, possibly the victim of foul play. Weekly zaniness ensues as the lovable whackos dodge aliens, the FBI, and assorted goverment heavies while trying to put out a weekly newspaper, take care of a precocious infant with telekenesis, find the missing Scully,and hopefully get laid some day. Recurring character and family-friendly bad-guy, known only as the “Tootsie-pop-Sucking Man” to be played by Dom DeLuise.
I did notice one fairly good in-joke on last night’s show: Scully was telling Doggett about how the metal was taking over the man’s system. Doggett replies “You mean a metal man? That only happens in the movies.”* Other than that, the writing this season ain’t been great.
