Yes, Scully nailed him in the neck. They can't heal that, and dissolve rather quickly. Which is a good thing, since that green stuff is deadly and you could tell she was feeling the effects.

And Mr. Dogget's gonna need a new pair of shoes...
What I want to know is why the aliens take human form aboard their own spacecraft. Or why they all seem to have the same default form...

They'd better go to "File" and click on "Properties" - they might be able to change their default settings there.

LOL Nimrod. The Bounty Hunter has been a part of X-Files for a long time. This way the actor can still play the role.
I'm still trying to figure out how it all comes together. First the killer bees which originally carried small pox, the movie changed it to carrying the DNA of the aliens to transfer it to a human host. The alien grows inside the human, bursts out the chest, a short while later changes from a cool black alien to a Hollywood gray. The grays have the ability to shape-shift. Then there's also the 'Faceless Rebels' that, iirc, kill both the grays and humans.
I know there are other facts, but apparently the overall story arc was made up as they went along instead of planning it out beginning to end.

That's what I was thinking. The baseball player was a shape-shifter that appeared as a gray towards the end when the Bounty Hunter came after him.

Aren't the rebels "faceless" (if by faceless you mean they've sticked up their, er, openings) to prevent the black oil getting inside them? And aren't they (kinda) the "good guys"? Good in the sense that they killed the conspiracy, and they only kill infected humans? Whereas the colonists want to, well, colonise. Possibly. Or wipe us out. Or do something scary with bees. Or make us think that the episode has actually caused a huge turning point in the story, even though, when you look back on it a year later, you realise that absolutley NOTHING changed!

Yes, that's why the "faceless rebels" are faceless. Though I got the idea that they wanted their rebellion to succeed, regardless of whether or not they had to kill bystanding humans in the process. I could be wrong, though.
