X-Files 5.12 "Bad Blood"

Well. I almost don't know what to say. I mean, if I go over point by
point, all the funny parts, It'll just be a rehash of the episode!
Looooooved It!!! It was interesting that while their impressions of
themselves were fairly accurate--Scully painted herself a bit too
tragic, and Mulder portrayed himself a bit too fair and polite, but they were
still pretty familiar, it was their view of each other that was totally
whacked! Scully's Mulder, was actually a lot like how Mulder is in the pilot
episode, if I think about it, more in-your-face and hyper. Mulder's Scully was
a lot like "Elaine fron "Seinfeld." Rude, mocking, whiny, it was
priceless. Interesting though, to look at these impressions, because Scully maybe
is sadder than we usually see, and Maybe Mulder is more intimidated by
Scully's skepticism than he usually lets on. Basicaly, both felt that
the other could be a bit more respectful of the others' feelings. Another
thing they have in common is an apparant inability to resist the charms
of attractive vampires. Didn't you love Scully getting all goo-goo for a
guy? And Mulder leaves them alone--Even when he tries to help her get some
action, he's actually ditching her! Amazing! maybe it's a weird
biological thing he has no contol of--"Must..Leave...Scully.
Must...put..her in...danger."
Interesting the type that Scully goes for, this strapping cowboy, the
guy with the homicidal tattoo, the park ranger she checks out in "Darkness
falls." The strong silent type, rugged manly men...you go, girl!
Loved Scully getting hungry while looking at digested Pizza in a dead guy's
stomach, and her soap opera worthy: "Pizza...(thinking)...the pizza
delivery guy (dawning horror) Mulder!" She rushes off to save him. I
liked Mulder and Scully sitting like two bad kids waiting to see the
principal, and Scully trying to fuss over his appearance and his
testimony.

I liked Mulder's being too embarrased to tell Scully he couldn't shoot
the tires of the RV, after she had been able to do the same with the Pizza
guy's...was that an AMC Gremlin? Please kids, always leave your Pizza
guy a tip, he just May be a vampire. And could Scully's "flying squirrel'
crack be a reference to her love of "Rocky and Bullwinkle?" ["Never
Again", Scully displays an encyclopedic knowledge of the cartoon.] Probably
not, but then again...

Finally, picking up the Star Wars thread from last
week, Scully's "I just put money in the magic fingers" line was reminiscent
of Luke's equally whiny "But I was going into Tocce station to pick-up
power converters." Enjoy the joy, and brace yourselves for next
week--looks to be angst-filled!
