Oh that takes me back! My favorite episodes were the one-off monster tales, the pit stops of strange. Kelley Armstrong, urban fantasy fae mistress, has given us a treat!

Oh yes, now that is an episode of X-Files! Ancient lore, crime, love, mystery, violence, action, and ending you will not forget. Excellent work.
Our first dip back into the great conspiracy! For the non megafans, Fox’s father was known for eating sunflower seeds.
I enjoyed seeing the teenage Fox, much of his past is a mystery. The extra half star was for the kiss, there was a time I would have parted with all my shoes and handbags to have been that girl in the watermelon lip gloss.
And the Smoking Man made his first appearance!
Best abominable snowman story I’ve ever read. The glacier burials were inspired!
This is exactly how I pictured a domestic Mulder & Scully! Now I have to watch all those revamp episodes I was initially ecstatic about then completely forgot. Life.
They are adorable together.
The mystery of the story was low key with just enough spook to hold my attention.
“Maybe another entity is helping them decide what to say, helping them communicate.”
I’m nearly halfway through reading all my Lovecraft and I can tell you Aldebaran is mentioned frequently. The Great Ones, they do whisper from their onyx castles in unknown Kadath.
And now I need to reread Carter & Lovecraft, which was Lovecraft and X-Files combined.
Mulder finally gets to meet his favorite porn actress when her costars keep exploding... blood and brains.
I thought it was funny to hit on this part of Mulder’s life and humanizing to the actress. They have a tragic suicide rate.
This was a good spooky tale of an emotional vampire.
A mildly entertaining fairytale.
Lol, you have to feel for Skinner when the kids raise hell... and it’s not even an X-File.
After a shocking and dispiriting beginning we get a story of a missing town and a gifted baby girl.
“No one was supposed to get hurt, I was just calling them home.”
Crop circles or cow circles? Land and cattle disputes can be vicious, see Yellowstone,
especially if you add magic.
The real Mulder and Scully get to watch the pilot episode of X-Files from a parallel universe where they are fictional characters.
This was a fun idea but still a middle child of a story.
Heart by Kendare Blake ★★ ½ ☆☆
Another dud.
This was an outlandish version of season four’s chilling Synchrony.
Phase Shift by Bev Vincent ★☆☆☆☆
Well, that was boring. One star off for the dog.
Average 3.33 which I will round up to four because I was entertained overall and this rekindled my love for the show. Season One held up!
