X files movie marathon: not impressed

I know the new X files movie is being released in America today. So for my marathon it's a good thing it's only released here July 30th. Unless my DVD player explodes I should be able to finish watching the 9th season by then. Though I don't really care anymore, I'm having quite a bit of trouble with the 9th season. So far I haven't seen one episode that really managed to impress me. A lot of the episodes have potential though, they just don't live up to it IMO.
At first I thought it was due to chronic lack of Mulder, but I thought there were quite a few really good Mulderless episodes in the 8th season, so that can't be it. Oh well, can't wait to see the movie :-)

Lord of the flies
Anything inspired by Jackass can't be good.
Rocky, the Bambi substitute, hits on Scully. She doesn't look as impressed with him as Mulder was with Bambi though.
I'm guessing this was supposed to be a light and funny monster of the week episode...but I'm not sure. Doggett mentioning spanish fly and the look he got from Reyes was funny though. As for Rocky, he would've been a lot funnier if Mulder had been around.Scully does CPR on Rocky who is wide awake. Reyes looks a bit disgusted at that. You'd think Scully as a doctor would know when someone 's faking it. I suppose that could've been funny if the rest of the episode had been funnier.
Natalie drives a VW bug, how fitting.


Trust no 1
This episode actually starts out looking like one of those shippervideos on Youtube (which take up way too much of my time).
In case you want to send our 2 favourite FBI agents an email:

I wonder if an X-phile would've actually started using these email-adresses...
More Apple computers, I take it Steve Jobs is an X-phile as well.
Why does Scully ask the woman on the street if she needs to call the police? In case you've forgotten Scully, you're a federal agent, just whip out your badge and gun...
Mulder and Scully have always taken the "trust no one" motto with a grain of salt (especially Mulder), but seriously, who lets a complete stranger you met on the street bunk on your couch.
If they know Scully sent Mulder an email, why don't they just lure Mulder out posing as Scully? They faked Scully's mails for 6 months in En ami.
What's on the inside of Scully's right wrist when she's on the phone with that supersoldier? BTW, Scully's phone has quite a battery life.
Scully's reflexes are pretty pathetic these days when agent Michaud, I'm sorry, "dark shadowy big brother supersoldier" starts waving a gun around. Good thing Reyes was there.
She still sends Mulder e-mails after she knows she's being watched?


John Doe
Doggett has a nickname "one shoe". Granted it's not as impressive as "Spooky Mulder" or "Hurricane Scully".
Doggett lost his memory, at least he didn't voluntarily let some doctor drill a hole in his head like Mulder once did. God, I really miss Mulder...
Reyes looks pretty pissed. Even more so when she started speaking Spanish.
She then lies to the Mexican police saying Doggett ran out on her and their kids. That was pretty funny, wish there would've been someone else around to hear her telling lies like that.
Reyes and Doggett get caught in a Mexican shootout and Skinner saves the day.
Doggett ends up looking a bit like one of the zombies from Millenium.


Hellbound
Scully seems to find a babysitter for William a lot easier than a dogsitter for Queequeg. Considering Queequeg untimely end, that's probably a good thing.
Reyes looks really hurt when Doggett called her out of the interviewing room questioning her methods. He should know about her "feelings" by now shouldn't he?
Somewhere halfway through I fell asleep again. But I was dreaming about zombies so I wasn't that far off with the storyline.
