The question is, is this a mytharc thread or a MOTW thread?

She was also Ben's sister in the episode of Parks and Rec when they go back to Ben's hometown. And in a couple episodes of Pretty Little Liars too, I think, early on.

I finished season 7 in my rewatch and just started season 10. We finished "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster" last night. My fiancé loved that one, and after this rewatch I'm considering that one of the best episodes ever made. Possibly my favorite one just for how it's everything I want in an X-files episode: weird, funny, a little scary, and it makes you think. I also totally missed a gag the first time I watched the episode. Mulder goes to meet Guy Mann at the cemetery after talking to Guy Mann's shrink. Guy breaks a bottle, trying to get Mulder to stab him in the appendix and kill him. He then tosses away that bottle and pulls out ANOTHER bottle, which he sets on the tombstone. After the story, Mulder pulls a bottle out of his own pocket. I missed that somehow, and just thought Guy had the bottles. So Mulder heard the shrink's bullshit "green glass lance" story and thought "Eh, maybe I should take it just to be safe." Freaking amazing.

Despite their reputations, there are at least a dozen episodes between them that are worth watching. (It's the three Vince Gilligan ones, Via Negativia, the Burt Reynolds one, and most of the back half of season 8 starting with This Is Not Happening, for anyone keeping score at home.)

Looks like Guy Mann is back sometime this season, if a commercial I just saw is to be believed.

I hope not. I can't think of an episode where bringing back the MotW actually worked well, except maybe 'Tooms'.

The one MOTW that occurs to me who I've always been surprised didn't come back was Mark Sheppard's guy from season one who could start fires with his mind.

I remember thinking the second Donnie Pfaster one was a real letdown after the first; the first one is really creepy but the second one had all that boring stuff with the priest. Same as the "Pusher" sequel episode.

Open Source Idiom posted:Oh, wait, did you skip 8 and 9? Yeah, we'll probably revisit them at some point. But my fiancé wants to get through Season 10 this week so we can catch up to Season 11. It's taken us over a year to get through everything and we're looking forward to watching Season 11 with fresh eyes together. Regarding MOTW sequels - Tooms was good, and I liked the return of Pusher, the guy who could mentally push people to kill themselves. I would be 100% on board with a return of the inbred freaks from Home (in fact, I thought Home Again in season 10 would be about them) or whatever the hell alien intelligence/AI/government program was going on in "Blood".

Bring back the jaguar spirit from Teso Dos Bichos but do it right this time. With budget and good scares. "Vengeful animal spirit takes over the pets of small town" is way too cool an idea to be lost forever.

Also I miss the early x-files trope of "loving terrifying thing in nature that can't be stopped" - Ice, Darkness Falls, Firewalker. Our planet is spooky!

Hell yes, these are always the best. I’ve had enough of supernatural humans and aliens. I demand a flukeman for 2018. ed. Apparently a comic revealed flukeman was a mutated human all along. I thought the episode kept it vague and non-human? Big Mean Jerk fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Jan 10, 2018 |

I think it was implied (or speculated by Mulder) in the show that radiation from Chernobyl had created it.

There's a lot of MOTW episodes of Fringe and MOTW episodes of X-Files (especially in early seasons of both) that I get confused.

This plot is stupid dumb but it's still better than last week's ep. Editing's still bad though, it looks like Paul W.S. Anderson cut these episodes together.

It felt like a really solid mid season stand alone episode, which I suppose it was, so good job there x-files. The opening sequence, spank bank icon, and Hannibal shout out were all good too.
