Things Are Getting Strange

If you are at all convinced by the advertising, the promotional gimmicks, the press interviews for First Person Shooter, we are here to tell you in no uncertain terms how bad this game is. That said,…

And thus we learn the final fate of Samantha Mulder!

Is it satisfying? No. Closure is very touching and quite beautiful and well acted. But as a capstone to a question that first appeared in the very …

Content warning: mentions of animal abuse, implied incest, child death

Signs and Wonders is somewhat diminished when we learned about the various animal cruelties on set during the filming of this epi…

It is hard to watch Orison without immediately concluding that Scully is totally getting fired right after the climax of the episode. And yet - based on The Amazing Maleeni - somehow shooting an unar…

At this point, it is quite impossible to talk about Rush without also mentioning Chronicle. And we can't! We get into how similar the two instances are and how they diverge quite wildly.

We talk about…

Mulder may often feel like a jerk, but Hungry kinda paints him as a predator playing with his food as he takes his sweet time doing anything about poor old Rob in this episode. If Mulder was a bit qu…

Taking a brief break from Season 7, we try to give an overview of the first X-Files game - The X-Files Game.

We get into FMV games as a whole and the specific drawbacks in general and here specificall…

While it might be a metaphor for the loss of the "truth" in The Sixth Extinction,  it is impossible not to interpret the order of events wherein Dr. Barnes kills a man, that man comes back to life an…

This then is the end of The X-Files.

No. Really.

Fine. The point is we can't actually be sure that anything that happens after Field Trip in fact happens in series. It could all be a fungal hallucinati…

Nick has to insist quite a lot that he likes this episode though is not sold on baseball. Which it very much what The Unnatural is all about. A love letter to baseball that's also an X-Files episode …

Startlingly the first episode this week Scully actually suggests Spontaneous Human Combustion as a possible cause of death. Which if we're honest shouldn't be a huge surprise after the events of, say…

Content Warning: multiple dog deaths

Arcadia is satire with a capital S. Perfect community built on top of a landfill. Oh and enforced by a trash golem! Or tulpa maybe. Mulder does do a lot of conject…

Back to the monster of the week(s)!

Well, monster of the week anyway. Agua Mala is a comedic bottle episode with a unnerving monster, some amusing character moments and a lot of water. Oh so much wate…

Could this be the end of the conspiracy? Is the planned for day here (about a decade early)? We discuss much of the conspiracy's tangles in Two Fathers. And also make a weird Xenogears connection for…

SR819 features nano machines and a decidedly confusing plot about Skinner! Until it stops being about Skinner with extreme rapidity and we wonder how Mulder and Scully get to go on this adventure wit…

Content warning: child death, forced abortions, animal abuse

After a run of comedic episodes, season 6 swerves hard into perhaps the darkest plotline The X-Files has ever had. But somehow any descript…

Dreamland II continues with some possible stake-raising. Can Mulder and Fletcher get back to their original bodies? And what might be the fallout if they can? Not that Mulder learns a huge amount dur…

Triangle is the second X-Files time-travel episode!

Maybe.

It could be the first Wizard of Oz X-Files episode which does make everything a lot weirder. And if we're honest, its a bit more likely. It do…

The X-Files returns to TV with season 6. And a new locale. One these first two episodes are not remotely subtle about...

For The Beginning, we talk about apparent Grey alien lifecycles and Chris Cater…

We're off to the movies!

The X-Files film (or Fight the Future - however rightly or wrongly it is so named) still holds up really well all these years later. Actual concrete details about the whole co…
