Hello All!

Spooky episode with Gargoyle monsters and sanity doubts. To catch the monster you become the monster? YIKES. Glad Mulder is forever strong even when the odds are against him.

Much love

I like it.

I loved the amount of information about Gargoyles and Grotesques that they put in this episode. Depending on the lore, they're either a sort of golem that had a demonic essence trapped inside and forced to become a guardian, or an angelic being that has consented to being a guardian. Either way, it's pretty interesting.

Dak loves Scully in red. Pong loves red. Dak would trade a dress for a pant suit. Pong thinks Dak looks great in red. Dak still has her hair in ginger. Conclusion, Scully cosplay confirmed.

This episode really leans into the psychological toll of hunting monsters for a living. Patterson doesn’t just study the killer, he dives into the man’s mind so deeply that it feels like he’s living there. The first murderer is obvious, but the episode leaves Patterson’s own actions deliberately ambiguous. Did he kill more than the one victim? Did his partner die because of him? The show never answers that outright, and that uncertainty is part of what makes the episode so unsettling. What is clear is that Patterson knew Mulder would eventually follow the same mental trail he had been walking for years. He trusted Mulder’s instincts enough to believe he could solve the case, even if it meant dragging him into the same psychological darkness. Poor Scully didn't expect Mulder to dive in quite like this though, her and Skinner's worry was heartfelt. There’s also something tragic in how both Patterson and the artist seem convinced of their own innocence. When you spend years trying to think like a deranged killer, it’s not hard to imagine the line between “understanding” and “becoming” starting to blur. That kind of immersion changes a person. It reminds me of when I was a kid working briefly in a meat-packing plant. The blood and the smell hit me hard, but the people who’d been there for decades barely noticed it. They had adapted. Their senses, and maybe even parts of their thinking, shifted to survive the environment. Patterson is the same way. Living inside the mind of a murderer for four years would warp anyone’s psyche, even if the goal was justice.

I did try to send you those FBI badges, Dak, for your cosplay. When shall we expect it? Maybe save it for the movie after season 5? You are watching it, I hope?

DakaraJayne

Sounds good to me. If I can get my peepers on the movie ill be reacting to it for sure

Do you have a DVD player? I'll mail you my DVD copy so you can react to it. Apparently, no one is streaming it for free, only buy and rental options. Oh, and get someone to play your Mulder...

DakaraJayne

I do! I dont however have a mail box at the mo - way too expensive! As soon as this changes i'll post about it though <3

Though this episode doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things I really enjoy the atmosphere and psychological aspect of it.

Another link to That 70s show here, with Kurtwood Smith one of the most recognisable faces on film and TV playing the main character here as Agent Patterson. He was of course Red Forman in the 70s show, and in the preceding episode Syzygy we had the late Lisa Robin Kelly who starred as Eric's sister Laurie in the same show. I thought this was a very underrated X-Files episode with the serial killer apparently under the influence of a Demon. This one written of course by Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel contributor Howard Gordon. A very dark atmospheric episode with Mulder using his skills trying to profile the apparent killer. Mulder believes Mostow in that he being influenced to do killing, and he says 'IT' when referring to the killer. Scully confronting Patterson a great scene. When Scully goes to see Skinner we can see they both have doubts about Mulder's involvement in this. A compelling final scene with Patterson and Mulder confronting each other, and Patterson's descent into madness. Scully of course did point out that many serial killers always say they are under the influence of an evil spirit, so we are left pondering this as Patterson shouts from his prison cell saying he didn't do it. Great final narration from Mulder to close out the episode.
