oh I know how you feel 😀
everytime they tried something German I was torn between laughing my ass off and vicarious embarrassment.

I also liked what they did with this episode. It follows the “Mulder and Scully almost die somewhere remote” motif with total commitment and really sells the atmosphere.

As for “Norwegian the Bermuda Triangle,” I took it as Mulder just interrupting himself mid-exposition with the paranormal explanation that he’s rooting for, similarly to how he’s blurted out “ALIENS!” in previous strips.

“Dear Princess Celestia”, heh.

I remember thinking ‘Triangle’ didn’t have the best X-Files plot ever, but that it was better shot and edited than many movies. It’s a pretty one, and I look forward to watching it again in, uh, I guess about a year and a half.

On the upside: Next week’s episode is ‘Humbug’, the first real Darin Morgan episode, if you don’t count ‘Blood’, which maybe you should!

Oh, I guess there’s a giant metallic meteor that is interacting with the sea water and the ship’s metal parts to make a sort of battery that messes up everyone’s electrolytes and makes them appear to grow old (except for their hair) and simultaneously makes navigation systems go wonky.

Ah! Apparently I was paying extremely close attention to this episode. Thanks.

You must have liked “Triangle”.

We… will not have arguments on this point.

In fact, I’ve noticed that there’s a positive correlation between episode quality and the amount of time Mulder and Scully spend on a boat.
