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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
