You know, I've thought that the comedy episodes (Dreamland and so on) are what the X-Files do best. The monstor of the week ones have gotten same,y and the conspiracy ones are now so annoying that they could win an award for being annoying at an obtuse and annoying contest.

You watch one and go "ooh look, plot development!". Then you watch them 4 months later and say "Hang on, nothing's changed at all. Carter's been treading water now for 5 years."

And First Person Shooter was AWFUL. The biggest load of tripe I've seen since I had tripe for dinner a few months ago. Awful. Bad. Appalling. Don't watch it. Ever.

You didn't like "first person shooter" ?
I loved that episode, though it still wasn't as good as last year's area 51 exchanged identity episode, you know, the one w/ Michael McKean, now that was funny.

I thought it was great how his character showed up again in "Three of a Kind" - you know the Lone Gunmen episode with the ditsy Scully.

I was using it as an example of the off-base episodes. I do like the episode, I think it'd be cool to have a game like that, without the killer digital babe.

True the story hasn't progressed a whole lot in 7 years. But it's still what I watch X-Files. Those monster-of-the-week ones are what I consider lame when that's all there is lately, one silly episode after another. X-Files was suppose to be a drama, not a comedy.

I like the fact that The X-Files can do so many different kinds of episodes.
