Here we are, once again, to talk the mythology with S04E8/9 “Tunguska” and “Terma”. Mulder travels around the country to flirt with every one of the mytharc regulars he can find as Scully tries to find out what’s in this ROCK FROM MARS! We see some beloved faces (Pendrell) and some ones we love to hate (Krycek) as the conspiracy goes global.

“Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man”. We follow his journey as CIA hit man, rejected author, and man behind the curtain as the X Files writers take a big swing and overexplain the mysterious antagonist. We ask the important questions about this episode: how can the most powerful man on Earth not get his silly little spy novel published???

This week we are joined by our friend Kevin (@droneymitchell) to talk The X Files episode that was banned from re-airing, S04E02 “Home”! Join us as we discuss this gory episode that ping pongs between extreme violence and jokes, while exploring the receding of rural life in the 90s and today by globalization, technology and modernity.

We return to the humble mytharc roots to talk S04E01 “Herrenvolk” as Jeremiah Smith struggles to explain the Syndicate’s plan for colonization to a PEAK sad boy Mulder. We navigate some old staples of the mythology (Samantha and her never ending clones, smallpox vaccines) with some new elements (bees!) and discuss what we think of this new shift in the ongoing plot.

We wrapped up season 3 by watching S03E18 “Teso Dos Bichos”, the lowest rated X Files episode on imdb so y’all don’t have to. We talk archaeology and dogs who eats cats who eat rats.

We finally made it to the season 3 finale “Talitha Cumi” where this stellar season ends with an ok mytharc finale. We see the return of Shelby’s nemesis, Teena Mulder, and learn some…interesting things about her past. We also have a scene inspired by a 19th century Russian novel, some biblical references, and another face off between Mulder and X.

This week we chatted about the overwhelming 90s S03E23 “Wetwired”, which we watched via a VHS, of course :P. We talked about the fantastic score, Mulder’s inability to pick up on Scully’s deteriorating sanity, and a very convenient medical condition given to Mulder that is never mentioned again. This episode brings in almost the whole squad in right before the s3 finale.

Abriana joined us this week to talk about S03E22 “Quagmire”. We discussed all the animals, including the return of Queequeg, the ancient 90s tech featured, and the midnight boat ride turned disaster. Most importantly, we finally got to talk about the crucial Conversation on the Rock and discussed the importance of this scene in understanding Mulder.

We were joined by our friend Nick (@NickRichWrites) to talk the legendary S03E20 “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”. We discussed the meta nature of this episode and whether it’s actually making fun of The X Files, the incredible directing by Rob Bowman, and the cultural impact of the show. Of course, we also try to piece together what “the truth” is, if it even exists, and what sort of plot is provided through the constant jumping timelines.

We were joined by our friend Kat to talk S03E17 “Pusher”. We discussed Supermarket Sweeps, Mulder and Modell both being weeaboos, and Scully’s hair being in top form. We lovingly made fun of the 90s fashion on display and the hyper masculine battle of strength and Russian roulette going on.
