I’m sorry I didn’t have room for the part where a woman throws an apple at a cat, which was my favorite thing in this episode.
This is a good place to helpfully point out that I sell original art, including the art for Monster of the Week, and take commissions. If there’s artwork you’d like, just let me know.
Despite all the characters’ eyes being all black, you’ve managed to make “fantasy son” look so sinister.
Even though these estranged mutant super-kids grew up all evil and bitter, I’m sure our estranged mutant super-kid won’t hold a grudge. …right?
The best part about the Apple scene is the outtake.

I was touched by Mulder’s incredibly ridiculous fantasy of what being a father entails. Seriously, I was! I’m not proud of it, but there it is!
I increased my Patreon donation to Shaenon in celebration of the return of Monster of the Week, which I mention only in case anyone else thinks they want to.
This is also probably as good a time as any to mention that I put together a ‘Monster of the Week’ index, to make it easier to find individual episodes. It’s at http://kontext-away.com/MotW.html .
I had the exact same “Escape to Witch Mountain” thought when I saw this. Now I need to go watch it again. It’s only been 30 years or so since I saw it. It’s going to suck now, isn’t it?
Gods help me, I never made the Wonder Twins or Witch Mountain gag in my shipper survey. /kicks self
Yay! MOTW is back!
Luv the jungle gym!
