A dumb racist who need to kill themselves
One thing about the AI episode in the first season, it did suffer from that, but they had the totally connected house thing going on which was pretty cool.

I remember an episode about a person uploading their consciousness into the internet. What season was that?

Kill Switch, season 5, was one of the William Gibson episodes

I just saw that "First Person Shooter" has a commentary track on the dvds. Has anyone listened to it? Is it the equivalent of the Simpsons commentary track to the episode where the "real" Principal Skinner comes back (ie incredibly defensive and uncomfortable)?

its not even like they were good plots that were badly written they were just awful from the start. the only other truly stand out bad episode that comes to memory is the vampires one which i couldn't finish but i haven't seen all of season 8 or any of 9

8 and 9 do truly have some stinkers, but I don't think anything just made me feel as bored as 3 or as disappointed as Kill Switch or 1st Person Shooter.

Though that devil episode in 9 is pretty god awful.

I loved the second of the new episodes, I feel like it would rank in my top third of episodes if it were part of the original series. A solid entry in the "MOTW episode that dips a toe into myth arc" group.

The plot is basically a variant of the story from "The Fury" or "Firestarter" which is one of my favorite types of story. Also, the brother and sister could appear in a really good second episode if they wrote one.

Why did Scullys phone say "William" and then "William Scully Jr"?

And dear god Duchovny's lines so far are terrible.

Edit: How did EMTs call Scully from her brother's phone in Germany when her mom is in DC?

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Mulder: "Hrm based on a bandaid and that street art it must have been a Hobo Garbage Golem."

Though the explanation behind the killer was kind of weak, but I guess there's only so many ways to conjure up a vengeful golem/ghost/poltergeist. The scene where he killed the school board lady was super cool

Did the X-files use "Downtown" as the song playing when someone was killed before in past? I swear I recall this happening.
