Scully says something like "Being a scientist means not immediately dismissing something just because you can't explain it." Where was THAT character for the first 7 seasons? | |||

So it's no surprise that the main FBI investigation wasn't ''really'' meant to have success, but why Doggett leading it? I mean, was he on someone's bad side so they decided to use a farce of a search to knock him down a peg? | |||

Boy, the monster wasn't very secret this time. Usually they end up with lots of inconclusive clues, and yeah, previously there have been hints in old newspapers... but this time the more skeptical guy halfway through the episode shows up and goes "Yo, this half-man half-bat thing made the front page of the newspaper with this clear photograph a few decades back." | |||
For the first non-Mulder episode of the season, he's still mentioned quite a lot. I imagine this will happen less as time goes on. | |||

Scully versus the lame Goa'uld. | |||
At first I thought "A Doggett-lite episode ''already''?", but it becomes clear it's because the story needed them in separate places. | |||
If there's one thing I've learned from X-Files, it's that all small towns are secretly full of insane cultists. | |||

805: '''Invocation''' ''[[2000]] [[December 3]]'' | 805: '''Invocation''' ''[[2000]] [[December 3]]'' | ||
It's like without Mulder around they compensate by making the weird stuff more obvious and harder to brush off as nothing. A kid shows up unchanged (physically) after 10 years, and later the same kid's long-decayed remains are found. This is well beyond "Well, maybe we imagined it." territory. | |||
Scully snaps at Doggett for illegally looking at juvenile records--but before he was around she brushed off her and Mulder's repeated failures to get warrants as something of a joke. | |||

806: '''Redrum''' ''[[2000]] [[December 10]]'' | 806: '''Redrum''' ''[[2000]] [[December 10]]'' | ||
Light on the main characters, but a really good episode anyway. | |||

807: '''Via Negativa''' ''[[2000]] [[December 17]]'' | 807: '''Via Negativa''' ''[[2000]] [[December 17]]'' | ||
Man, now Skinner is the one suggesting that a guy succeeded in reaching another plane of existence to become a noncorporeal killer? Were he and Scully just waiting for Mulder to leave the room? | |||

Nice to see that in the X-Files universe Indiana is apparently home to bleeding-edge metal technology. | |||

810: '''Badlaa''' ''[[2001]] [[January 21]]'' | 810: '''Badlaa''' ''[[2001]] [[January 21]]'' | ||
So if this guy has the ability to cause illusions in general... it seems the trick of repeatedly climbing into people's butts was kind of overdoing it. | |||
