Comments on: Season 7, Episode 22: Requiem https://www.shaenon.com/monsteroftheweek/comic/mow-44/ The Complete Cartoon X-Files Sun, 11 Jan 2026 06:17:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.0.1 By: Jacob Haller https://www.shaenon.com/monsteroftheweek/comic/mow-44/#comment-18784 Fri, 20 Jan 2023 13:34:37 +0000 http://www.shaenon.com/monsteroftheweek/?p=967#comment-18784 In reply to Owlmirror.

Thanks! I’ve just removed the ‘last updated’ line because there is a 0% chance I’ll remember to update it if and when MotW tackles season 8. [fingers crossed]

Nit: The text of the page says “last updated 27 September 2020”, but the page info says it was last modified January 15, 2023 at 11:56:36 EST.

Random Nit because I clicked on the link: The text for the first panel S01 S02, E10, (Red Museum”) that continues below the edge looks to me like it says ‘Fences”‘; that is, the phrase is “Picket Fences” in quotes, referencing the show Picket Fences, and I think the next words might be “crossover and”.

Was there going to be a Picket Fences crossover?

IMDB says yes:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0751185/

This was originally conceived as an inter-network crossover between The X-Files (1993) and Picket Fences (1992), but was rewritten to stand alone when negotiations fell through.

No wonder he started in on Skinner.

I wish there had been more late-series uses of him that amounted to more than “And Krycek is also there!” Because I think he’s kind of a neat character in that he’s someone who does whatever he thinks is in his own self-interest at a given point, and it results in him being in a far worse off place than if he had tried to be even a moderately good person, which I think is a fun type of character to have in your conspiracy theory based TV show. MORE KRYCEK
