    So, based on some article from here (I think?), I just watched X-Files S05E12 "Bad blood", and it was worth it. When the Mulder version of sheriff spoke for the first time, I had to laugh. :-D

    I've actually been on a rewatch of the series, currently in the middle of season 5. Def lots of "the military is all behind it" train of thought to support where season 10 is going.

    Also lol @ the Bad Blood vampire episode, i think that one and the Mutato episode were def a couple of my favorites.

    The Dad from A Christmas Story is in the episode I've just finished watching, he plays the old FBI Agent Arthur Dales. I loved that guy, shame he died in 2006

    This series has had a vast amount of pre-fame actors in guest roles. I just watched a season 8 episode called SureKill that had James Franco in it.

    LOVED tonight's episode. Very goofy Monster of the Week. I like the more comedic toned episodes and this felt right at home with the likes of Bad Blood, Jose Chung's From Outer Space and Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose.

    Episode 3... omg. I had a smile on my face throughout it. Darin Morgan never disappoints.

    "I wanna make you say 'cheese'."

    Rewatched it just now, instantly in my top ten episodes.

    "...but they all think I'm on crack."
    "Are you?"
    "...Yeah!"

    Casting Shangela was a genius move.

    By any chance, did anyone happen to catch what the quote was on the tombstone for Kim Manners?

    Or the brand of booze they were drinking? Hell, the prescription antipsychotics too, for that matter.

    I jumped up to get closer to the screen but didn't make it in time for any of those, damnit.

    Oh, and LOL @ "Jack Hardy," btw.

    Bottle says 'Keslin Bourbon', which appears to be a fictional brand. Bottle seems based on the J&B design. The pills were Clozapine.

    Jack Hardy was an assistant director who worked on the show and died last year.

    Right on!

    Thanks, man. I wish I had DVR, lol.

    And here's a hearty D'OH! MY BAD! re: Jack Hardy. I should've figured that HE was someone from the production crew as well. I guess all that steamy action in the new episode had me thinking the name was yet another in the endless stream of "Mulder's a perv" gags.

    Glass houses, eh?

    Holy shit, they brought them back!

    Spoiler:

    (Again.)

    No NIN-stickered van this time, but it was actually ETS and a NINspotting that made me aware of Kumail Nanjian and his podcast and now the show is back and we're discussing an episode that features him. Feels weird.

    Maybe I'm just blinded by the fan service (Guy was walking around in Kolchak's clothes, did you get that? Guise?), but I don't think we're going to see a more satisfying episode than this one.

    Last night's episode was fantastic. Reminded me of some of the more goofy episodes from the original run.

    Never heard of Kolchak but yeah def looks like the same outfit and holy shit, Darren McGavin was the star of that. No wonder they had him guest star on X-Files! It all makes sense now.

    I only knew Darren as the Dad from A Christmas Story but now I'll have to find this Kolchak show.

    Ridiculous. I suspect it was a solution to the story arc requiring a reason for Mulder to believe again.

    S10E03: Perfect. And two days ago I had no idea X-Files were sometimes this smart funny. :-)

    Rhys Darby was perfect as usual. Favorite cameo next to Luke Wilson in Bad Blood and Michael McKean in Dreamland.

    I thought it was great too.
    Also, now that i am used to Mulder and Scully's slightly older appearance, this REALLY feels like the x files, not just some special reunion thing.

    the number of guest actors who i love in the episode was staggering (kumail is my fav and rhys darby was absolutely the perfect person to play that character).

    also, queeg queg being replaced by daggoo is just adorable. i loved scully's face when she picked up the cage and strolled out of the animal shelter.

    i was smiling the whole time. THIS is what i want from the x-files. FUN!

    yeah, how are they doing that second one? Spoiler: just in case someone in this thread doesn't know, but i doubt that's the case. they're dead. the last time we saw them, mulder was clearly hallucinating (as he was when he saw krycek). so are they going to be hallucinations, ghosts, or did they somehow fake their deaths and skinner knowingly put three empty coffins in the ground at arlington?

    I have no idea and I can't wait to see how it will be done. Also: Spoiler: I'm kind of hoping that Krycek will show up too. I loved the sneaky bastard.

    Oh and that third episode: absolute perfection. Mulder running around taking pictures with his phone had me crying with laughter.

    Ep 4 potential spoilers, judging from the released promotional synopsis - Spoiler: RIP Scully's mom.

    This week's ep was legitimately one of the best X-Files episodes in the series. It got EVERYTHING right. Man, what a blast.
