Not much to say about this one, but following Seth Green and Donal Logue this episode features a small appearance by... the guy who played Ogre in [[Revenge of the Nerds II]]! | Not much to say about this one, but following Seth Green and Donal Logue this episode features a small appearance by... the guy who played Ogre in [[Revenge of the Nerds II]]! | ||

What a waste. Not that there's anything wrong with stories of sasquatch or wild men, but those are a dime a dozen and could be set anywhere in the world. Why conflate that with the much more fantastical creature known as the Jersey Devil, blowing their chance to do an episode about the real one? | What a waste.

We got the ultimate X-Files cliché twice in this episode. Mulder witnesses insane ghostly phenomena, it stops, Scully immediately bursts into the room. Though to be fair, the second time it was the insane ghostly phenomena keeping the door shut so she couldn't have done much about it. | We got the ultimate X-Files cliché twice in this episode.

Some similarities with Stretch. In that an old friend of one of the lead pair comes along with a strange case asking for help, acts like a douche, and the mystery is weird enough to be on this show. | Some similarities with Stretch.

Michelle seemed to want to be an anomymous tipster, and even at NASA Mulder and Scully would just say that the images they got "arrived", but I kiiinda think the three of them seeming to be tethered to each other while they were around gave it away. | Michelle seemed to want to be an anomymous tipster, and even at NASA Mulder and Scully would just say that the images they got "arrived", but I kiiinda think the three of them seeming to be tethered to each other while they were around gave it away. | ||

The premise of this show gets a bit troubled as it goes on. The idea of pairing up someone who wants to believe with a skeptic is a good one. But in the reality of this show we see that they DO run into really weird shit all the time, so it makes Scully seem not just skeptic but thickheaded to keep crying "Swamp gas!" when weird things are afoot. | The premise of this show gets a bit troubled as it goes on.

On the other hand, she doesn't seem to have a problem with her job as Mulder's partner. Which, if she were truly so unbelieving, she probably should. Because Mulder not only claims to believe in this stuff, but keeps experiencing it firsthand while she's just outside the room. This should leave her with two possibilities: 1) Her partner is crazy insane. 2) Her partner is a big liar. | On the other hand, she doesn't seem to have a problem with her job as Mulder's partner.

Thank goodness Mulder and Scully were able to outwit those eight-year-olds. | |||
