Was that the one where she was doing autopsies and found that each of the victims had pizza for dinner and that made her hungry for pizza? Definitely one of the more hilariously macabre moments.

“Bad Blood”, one of the great ones.

“Double points if Scully is the coroner and eats stuff.” Wish I could remember which episode had that glorious moment when Scully stops midway through weighing somebody’s innards to call for pizza.

second season, not first. And, if i remember right the vampire chick in this episode was David D’s actual wife or girlfriend. I liked this episode originally because it gave us an idea of how fox operated before scully came along.

I found the SIP quite disappointing too. I’d been looking forward to the “town full of cannibals,” episode all damn season – or actually, since I started watching the show – and was madly hoping that they would try to have a Mulder and Scully community feast. But then when it was just Scully, the damselification kinda killed my buzz.

If Mulder was getting kidnapped just as often, it’d be a different story. But he isn’t, so.

Shaenon, speaking of twenty-legged chickens, have you read Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake? The chickens were one of the creepier elements in a massively disturbing dystopiary.

Honestly, the Scully in Peril aspect of this episode always made me dislike it strongly—seeing Scully strapped down to a gory head-holder thing disturbed me, and even knowing the show’s not gonna kill one of the leads in a MOTW episode, that scene just dragged out way longer than it should’ve.

Then again, the tension *was* undercut by the hilarity of Mulder parking a safe distance away, having the presence of mind to kill the lights, and THEN running to the scene of Scully in Peril. If my partner were in jeopardy, surrounded by a large number of people standing around a bonfire, and I’m only one guy with one gun, I’d be flooring the pedal and trying to scatter the crowd with the car, which might also help me from getting shot. Plus, you know, I’d get there faster.

Creepy old chicken dude drawn as Colonel Sanders just made my day. Week. Hell, year.

Man, I love this comic. There were quite a few that didn’t actually recap the episode, which I don’t care for as much, but they seem to be drifting back into the recap realm, which is what got me hooked in the first place. I try to re-watch the episode the weekend after I read the comic, which makes watching it even better.

Even scarier: it’s not even the unhealthiest thing on the KFC menu. The pot pie and any meal with crispy-style chicken are fattier.
