Hello All!

BUGS! A little different to the SPN version haha. I'm no bug fan BUT this episode was hilarious to me and one of my faves thinking about it. The back and forth with Scully being at home and Mulder refusing not to get wrapped up in a case was fantastic imo. Shout out to Bambie, what a woman hahaha.

Much love

This episode is peak “they’re not dating, but they’re absolutely dating.” Scully’s reaction to the name Bambi is legendary — she snaps upright like someone just threatened her parking spot on Mulder’s heart. The woman goes from mildly curious to “excuse me, who?” in half a second. Mulder, meanwhile, is out here trying to impress Dr. Bambi with his Big Bug Knowledge, only to get roasted by Dr. Eckerle, who basically calls anyone who believes in literal alien visitors an idiot. The look on Mulder’s face is priceless. And then the pièce de résistance: Bambi riding off into the bug fog with Dr. Eckerle while Mulder watches, betrayed, like he just lost a crush to a rival. Scully sees it. She enjoys it. She absolutely files it away for later. Which brings us to the final scene — Mulder, wounded and petty, taking a jab at Scully’s poop 'du jour' scent. And Scully, cool as ice, letting him flail. It’s textbook “we’re jealous, but we’ll die before admitting it.”

Very ick-centric episode(sorry about the pun). The idea of using bugs as a plot device isn't really new, but having them be probes for an advanced race? Now that's very different. Using bugs as a model to help engineer space probes is something NASA and the DOD have been experimenting with for a very long while. Multiple legs would allow them to navigate a variety of terrain types The only limit would be power. I loved how Scully was dismissive about the incident until she found out about another woman, then the claws were out! Really Dana, jealous much?

This episode was absolute cinema. As soon as I checked which episode was next after the previous, I knew it would be dream for your shipping goals. Your external scourge for insects, tempered by possibly the best driver for Mulder and Scully's dynamic was incredible. Sitcom level humour. SPN's Bugs would probably get a 4/10 from me, while this episode, a 7 at the lowest. Jealousy does look good on Scully. 😂

Couldn't have said it better myself, she does the jealous banter perfectly. She doesnt come across as a whiner or too mean, its like the perfect balance of fun 😂

Fun fact: in the scene where Scully is entering the store and two cars collide behind her, that was really an accident, and not in the script. The cars were simply supposed to pull out and around the lot, but the one in front slowed down and stopped, causing the collision. Gillian's reaction to it is real, and she also said that the man bumping into her while exiting the store was unintentional (likely due to her being out of position because she paused and turned around when she heard the crash) but it worked so well, they left the entire take in the episode.

This is such a fun episode. I remember reading the review on this in the TV Guide back in the day and they loved that the show had the cockroach crawl across our TV screens :D

Her name is Bambi?

Very much in the tone of The Humbug episode here. Lots of black humour in this episode. I remember watching this at the time and having to find out that Coprophage animals are those that consume feces! Yuk! Anyway funny with Scully getting all the phone calls all the time, and Scully being somewhat jealous of Bambi. Of course insect infestations are many peoples nightmare. Funny when Bambi says 'he's hung like a Clubtail Dragonfly' Scully trying to clam the store down is funny as well, and of course we get the funniest scene with Mulder and Scully covered in Dung! All in all a highly entertaining fun episode. 🪳
