Joe Crammond

Just joined your patreon crew, really love your reactions, would love to see you do the Chucky films and tv series

James At the Peak

Welcome Mr.Crammond you have chosen wisely. A big yes to Chucky F Films/TV. Gots to have my Jen. Tilly.

Robert Raszkowski

So many movies done this kind of plot. Even with the same effects... The picture of the woman was most probably the head of the biuro.

Owen Kosik

I appreciate you not skipping the intro

John Beebe

Such quality TV, the budgets must’ve been insane.

James Cole

Watching the intro puts you in the moood.

The woman was the US attorney general during the Clinton years, Janet Reno. She was responsible for Ruby Ridge massacre, and the Waco Texas debacle where the FBI and ATF killed most the branch davidians. She is more corrupt than the cigarette smoking man.

Michael Gehrman

A great line in this episode is, "I stand on teh line that you keep crossing." Brilliant writing.

Code Monkey

Don't forget to add Elián González to her list of "accomplishments". And yeah; she's the one Cigarette Smoking Man has nightmares about! 😝

Mister Lou

Hey Kat! I'm new here, just joined last week-ish.. i binged your Mike Flanagan series and I finally caught up with your X-Files reactions! I like the line at the end from Skinner, "watch your back, this is just the beginning!" Which is true from what I remember.. are they going to kiss? I won't spoil that for you! On to the next one!

Yes, the outbreak of hemorrhagic fever that the Cigarette Smoking Man refers to from Sacramento in 1988 actually happened. Do yourself a favor and don't go down that particular rabbit hole... IMO there are far too many mystery illnesses on the books that pop up in an ER and quickly turn into minor epidemics. Thankfully, all of them were quickly contained, and none of them really made headlines, probably to prevent the kind of panic issues at the moral core of this episode. The quality guest star train keeps on rolling through this episode, with Dean "always plays a cop" Norris, and the convict's girlfriend played by Linda Boyd, whom you may recognize from Final Destination 2, and another fun movie I don't think you've gotten to yet called "Disturbing Behavior" (please put that one on the list!)... she's been on a lot of great TV shows. And finally we see Skinner's great dilemma: he can only go so far, and no further. It seems he genuinely wants to help, but he's limited in the actual power he has over circumstances. He can get into an epic headbutt fight with Mr. X, but that's off the books and in the shadows. Unfortunately, it seems he can't quite completely escape from being under the CSM's thumb. I wonder how this is going to play out? NO SPOILERS!

Apparently the prison set was very expensive to build for this episode so they reused it for some later episodes. It looked so real I checked to see where it was filmed. The supposed rainforest in the beginning was clearly somewhere in the northwest.

Scully didn't put a cover slip on that slide sample. She could contaminate the whole lab. The real conspiracy is how Scully kept her medical license with poor contagion protocol through this whole episode. The horror, the horror.

RJ Inkglider

The rather unattractive woman whose photo was in Scully's office was Janet Reno, the Attorney General at the time. She was embroiled in a lot of FBI screw ups; Waco in particular.

And gain of function research continues even after the Covid crime against humanity.
