X-Files 5.15 "Travelers"

Well..........that sucked. I mean, if it were another show, it might
be OK, but it wasn't the X-Files. Oh Wait, it WAS another show. It was
distressingly close to the pilot episode of "Dark Skies." If you
didn't see that, it was like this episode, only it was more interesting and
scarier and it was set in 1963. ANd it sucked! It was an X-Files
rip-off.I'm sorry, I try to be upbeat and positive, but this was just
insulting!

That movie better be pretty @*# % ! --ing AWESOME, OK? Because I'm
tired of this stuff. The show isn't about aliens, it isn't it about
conspiracies, it's about MULDER and SCULLY. And we've had how
many episodes with just
one of them? Too many. Any other season, and this is ok, a little
diverting. We get to see Mulder's dad with a soul (sort-of) we get to
see Hoover, the X-Files was originally set-up because some secretary ran
out of space in the U's (The most interesting character in the whole show was
that secretary, I was hoping she'd be Mrs Mulder or something but of course,
nothing cool happened). Darrin McGavin from the "Night Stalker" series
has his much-anticpated appearance in an episode that DOES NOT MATTER.
And what's up with his character suggesting that an FBI agent, with a
college degree of course (WE know Mulder has a Master's level degree but this
guy knows Mulder's a college man) and he says "oh you wouldn't know about
the House of Un American Activities-before you're time. UH, if he went to
high school, he'd know at least vaguely what he was talking about. Why's
Mulder playing with his hair? I could just see Duchovny in his trailer
coming up with a little tic to make it clear that this is a less-confident
Mulder. He looked adorable, but It was too-bad. And what's with the powers that
be letting him wear his wedding ring during the episode. And don't think
it's anything cool like a short-lived marriage that he's never
mentioned before--that would again imply that there was something interesting
about this episode, some reason to talk about it after tonight....there
isn't. It was just a screw-up. And finally, Mulder's dad tells mcGavin's
character he's putting his family at risk. Who's he talking about? Mulder and
Samantha aren't born until the next decade! And DON't suggest that he
has some secret family from before...well, YOU KNOW. Hope you're doing
well.

I'll talk to you again in THREE WHOLE WEEKS, when we get another new
episode. Hey, maybe the highly paid stars will be in it. For those of
youwho don't know, it was officially announced that X-Files is moving to
L.A. next season, so NO EXCUSES GUYS!!!! I want 30 GREAT episodes, yeah,
that's right 30!!! They all so happy to be close to their families and lovers
and whatever, great--TIME TO MAKE CHRISTINE HAPPY, OK CHRIS CARTER???
Ya got that? I hope you all have super weeks. :) (smiling through the pain)
