Scully in her happy place during a shootout: this is not an entirely unfair characterization. There’s one episode — “Aubrey?” — where she’s visibly frustrated that she can’t shoot someone. Dana Scully: medical doctor, theoretical physicist, and she will cap you. As Mulder will discover.

In reply to Manifesta. Oh, and I also looked up the "death neg" comment, which I didn't understand. I found a whole online community of "pick-up artists," and an Urban Dictionary definition of "neg" which includes that line about the fingernails. There are whole worlds about which I am blissfully ignorant.

In reply to Glen. You inspired my to look up the video for California (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px_3MerNhgQ). One of Spike Jonze's coolest, hottest videos.

I’m late to the party, as usual:
Looks like comments are closed on s1ep12, but I just wanted you to know that your reference to Wax’s “California” music video did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Flame suit, indeed.

Kay, that’s great. Shaenon, this is as fantasmic as always, and really drives home the point that they had no idea where the series should go, so all of season 1 is pretty much ‘repeat pilot so audience knows what is going on’.

Here’s my favorite post-Vatican-II artsy-fartsy guitar-mass song. If you’re Scully, you can expiate your Catholic guilt to it. If not, it’s got a beat and you can dance to it. (Okay, interpretive dance, but still . . .)

tune: “I am the Resurrection and the Life,” David Graham

I have been resurrected!
Where’s my wife?
Well grab the loot and then take off on the run

I have been resurrected
Got new life
I’ve got a new body, and he’s got a gun

Not so fast! I don’t need some strange dude
I will cap your ass, although that’s rude
You’re cuffed, and so, this joint I will blow!

I am loving your take on the X-Files. It’s like it’s the mid-90s all over again.

Mulder’s crazy eyes whenever he says ALIENS are a thing of beauty.

The other thing about this episode is the pounding minor-key soundtrack. It’s like a bite-sized Christopher Nolan movie.

I think “Lazarus” was a pretty OK episode. Scully in danger is always a good thought, because it makes Mulder worry.

Thanks again for the laughs, shaenon.
