The X-Files 2016: Episode 3 — Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Monster.

Yep … 

It’s a Monday … 

You can probably tell it’s a Monday, simply by looking at the calendar, can’t you … ?

I’m pretty certain I can, I know that much.

At any rate … ?   I’ve had a Monday: one I’ve had off, and one where I’ve mostly done laundry, made Teasers slideshows … 


Like those.

And spent some time with my family: I, my sister Ruth, and my nephew, Jude, headed for Kidspace, over in Romford.

Which is definitely enjoyable.

What WAS a pain — at least for Ruth — was working out how to turn the Transformer she’d bought for Jude from a Robot into a Car.

“Mummy can’t find the smelly boobs,” was Jude’s expert opinion.

Which is … well … hard to argue with … 

~≈Ê≈~

At ANY rate … ?

I started this post, to tell You I’ve been glued — once again — to an episode of The X-Files: episode 3, in fact.

Episode 3 — Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Monster — sees Agents Mulder and Scullyinvestigating what could be an animal attack: in a wild part of Oregon.   Although the original witnesses claim it was no animal: but a strange humanoid reptile creature,  that fled when they approached.

Investigating further … ?

The pair find others who’ve been attacked by the creature: and a motel owner* who claims to have seen their main suspect turning into a hideous green skinned thing!

In the middle of a motel room.

It’s only when Mulder interview the creature, he and Scully find out they’re not dealing with a man who turns into a lizard monster, but a lizard monster who turns into a human, they realise things are not quite what they seem.

The real killer … ?

Is someone else, altogether …

Now, I said — last week — that I always enjoy the Monster of the Week episodes of The X-Files: as, generally, I found them easier to follow.

This particular story?

Is both …
  • A Monster of the Week story.
  • VERY funny.
It has to be said, the original run of The X-Files  covered a wide variety of both tone and quality.

Reals stinkers, to beautifully done, and from satanically dark, to incredibly light-hearted.

Mulder and Scully Meet The Were-Monster?   Was very light-hearted, funny, witty … 

And a very entertaining watch.















*        The motel’s owner has a mild stammer, stuffs things and is a bit of a peeping tom.   Can’t think WHERE the episode’s writer got that idea …

Post a Comment

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.
