The only thing I’ve ever eaten alive have been ants apparently, when I was 2 years old…

So when will Shaenon meet up with Gillian at a Comic Con?

Moreover, calcium contained by milk helps the brain use tryptophan.
Remove from oven and serve pudding immediately with
pouring cream.

They’re not a problem. I never considered it something I have in common with Gillian Anderson before though. Cool!

Anderson in it, because that guy is great, so it was a bonus that this episode is legitimately excellent.

I remember very few X-Files episodes, but I’ll never forget this one, entirely because of Vincent Schiavelli and the creepy twin.

Wish you’d made fun of the plot a little though, since this episode definitely had one of the most bizarre twists. A seemingly-dead fetus growing out from a dude’s stomach can detach itself, go eat people, and then reattach itself? What. The. Shit.
