You know, I’ve had a mildly quiet day off, today.
Well …
Beyond bumping into a few people I know, in Brentwood High Street, that is.
It’s given me a chance to do a little basic housework: although you possibly wouldn’t think so.
Oh, and put together a couple of videos for upcoming Daily Teasers: although the real job of work will be finishing off the rest of them, tomorrow.
But that DOES leave me with a free night …
To … ?
Yes, you’ve guessed …
Watched some TV.
In this case … ?
Watched episode 4 of the rebooted The X-Files: called Home Again …
Yes …
~≈Ë≈~
Episode 4 — Home Again — sees Mulder and Scully called in by West Philadelphia police: after a federal housing official is killed: in an especially gruesome way.
It’s not long before others are killed in an identical fashion: and Scully is called away by her older brother: their mother … ? Their mother has had a serious heart attack.
Margaret Scully’s death … ? Only encourages Dana Scully back to the case: and provoke memories of the child she and Fox Mulder chad had, together, and put up for adoption.
The case … ?
Provides welcome distraction for her … as the artwork she and Mulder spot near the scenes of the crimes less to a street artist called Trashman.
Who claims he isn’t the killer … but he knows the thought form that is …
~≈Ë≈~
Now …
That Paxman-esque ‘Yes’ … ?
Yes: I enjoyed Home Again.
And, while I don’t think it’s quite got quite the punch of episodes of earlier The X-Files, it is — for this series — comparatively dark: and certainly on a par with the rest of the re-booted series.
OK: as an individual episode, it’s not on the same quality as, say, The Body or Genesis of The Daleks.
But … ?
I think it adds another good episode to a well made series.
Here’s hoping the last two episodes are on a par … !

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.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
