Look at the name of the ice-cream place, then check out the good ending of Inside UFO 54-40 again.

There are people who complain about that ending and those people are WRONG, it was the best thing ever (or the second-best after Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?) and completely fairly clued throughout.

‘The show’s homage to (or ripoff of, depending on how kind you are) Groundhog Day, “Monday” forces Mulder, Scully, and everyone inside a downtown bank to repeat the same disastrous bank robbery over and over again…and only the robber’s accomplice/girlfriend is fully aware of the time loop. A cool idea, nicely executed, with lots of gloomy cinematography and shots of Mulder looking downcast–that’s what a solid “X-Files” episode is all about. Plus it ties up the all-important loose end of the waterbed Mulder acquired in the two-part body-swap storyline “Dreamland.”’

At this point, Monster of the Week has covered all five of Jeff’s top five episodes, and 4 out of 5 of Shaenon’s picks. The remaining episode is ‘The Unnatural’, which is coming up later this season.

I remember there was a Zork Choose Your Own Adventure book that had a secret, inaccessible ending in which one of the Zork deities scolded you for reading the book out of order and turned you into a newt or something.

I am convinced the actual books did that.

I didn’t remember the title, but I just looked it up and I remember the cover SO MUCH.

It was “Inside UFO 54-40”, which is a perfect reference for this comic! Nice! And thanks for the reminding me about it.
