The X-Files Mini-series Episode 5 Recap

In the fifth episode Mulder and Scully communicate with a comatose terrorist. With just two episodes left, this doesn't look like it will delve in to the overarching conspiracy. I guess they're are saving that for the final episode this year.

The X-Files Mini-series Episode 4 Recap

The premise of the fourth episode has Mulder and Scully investigating a death that couldn't have been done by a a human being. Looking for clues from the episode title, I wondered if this could be a Victor Eugene Tooms episode, as the premise sounds exactly like his first episode. It's unlikely, and it shouldn't be. This season needs to stand on it's own. The most infamous episode of The X-files that was banned from television is Home, about an inbred rural family. Are there clues to be gained from the title? I hope not.

We've seen three episodes so far. None of them are classics, I wouldn't rank any of them as top episodes. Episode 3 is the best, but the mood never reaches the level of creepiness that the original run did so well. Check out my X-files mini-series recaps.

The X-Files Mini-series Episode 3 Recap

The premise of the third episode and the fact it's written by the acclaimed Darin Morgan indicates we're going to get some of the humor from the original run. This looks to be more parody and less clever, but Morgan only wrote four episodes from the original run and each one by all accounts is considered a classic.

The original description for this episode listed it as a loose Scooby Doo parody taking place in a mansion. At some point between the original press release and the premiere of this episode that description has been changed.
