Especially Fox *crazy-about-alien-stuff version*.
I’m watching X-Files for the first time (I’m at 3×13) and it’s nice to see what other people think about every episodes. I’d like too see what you will draw about Syzygy… that was crazy.
I’ll follow you.
Ciao!

Probably because I only discovered Firefly like 6 months ago.

Now I’m certain I will next time.

I think this story feels all the more distressing because the kidnappings (as opposed to Mulder’s detective methods) are entirely mundane and realistic. Nameless blood-drinking horrors from before the dawna time are endearingly camp by comparision.

I find myself mentally following it with “Ob-La-Da.”

At least we have Mulder’s massive “my sister was abducted” issues to make light of. Always much funnier than kidnappings.

Also, as I’m currently reading through the Director’s Cut of Narbonic and just finished the 1st story-line with Dr. Narbon, wanted to note that it’s nice to see “heh heh heh” some more. You can never have enough “heh heh heh.”

Now I have to go watch this one again and yell non-related Firefly comments at the screen!

Bit of a shame they weren’t 80s teens. You could have had a ball drawing the hair.

The thing I noticed the last time I watched this episode was that the young girl who got kidnapped was Kaylee (Jewel Staite) from Firefly. And Lucy was apparently re-born as Audrey Pauley.
