Hello All!

A TENSE GAME OF RUSSIAN ROULETTE! Mulder gets mind controlled and even then he can't bring himself to shoot Scully. It must be love, love, love. Jokes aside, it was very suspenseful and I think they acted the hell out of those scenes. Also impressed that Skinner is doing great, sorry, was doing great till Holly did him in haha. Whoopsies.

Much love

How on the devil's balls are you able to record in this heat dak it's unearthly hot here 37 earlier so if it's anything close up there in your office space it must be hotter than the fires of Mordor , you're incredible dak and a true star stay hydrated and keep as cool as possible at every chance you get 🫂💙

Thadman

Did you quote Madness in your description 😁

Wont lie, almost passed out. Sat in a dark room and downed a glass of water and couldnt go back into the office. Editing has been done at night, still hot but doable. Ive still got BSG to record and I may have to do it Friday and edit same day because tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest yet! Please stay safe at work Ian! I know youre outside alot of the time, spf it up lad.

I put a 4L bottle of water in the freezer overnight and took a solid bottle to work it lasted pretty good 🙂 called it a day at 3 it was unbearable outside with zero wind and zero shade . Please don't feel pressured into getting stuff done people will understand if it's too much , Friday it cools down but first tomorrow eeeek .

Thanks for your reaction. You are so brave to record it in this heat. Drink water/stay hydrated. Take care of yourself too. Here outside in Florence, Italy looks like to be inside the volcano of Mordor. 🫠🥵

Nah of course 🎶🎼 I sang while typing haha

Robert

Hope you're okay. The news shows that the temp in England is in the triple digits. This was a weird episode. The ability to over-ride a persons will is more of a comic book idea, and this bad guy wasn't even purple.(Fans of Daredevil will get the reference) As for Mulder having the gun on Scully and not shooting - was it love, or was the bad guy distracted by the alarm?

Fernanda Monteiro

Great reaction! I really love this episode, the tension is on point! And for me it shows one of the most significant moments in their relationship, where we can see how much she means to him - more than his own life. Also, poor Frank, he deserved better. I´m loving rewatching this amazing series with your reactions! Sending love from Brazil!

El

This is a brilliant episode, story-wise, but having lived where I have for almost my entire life, I just cannot get over the writers' complete lack of any research regarding the geography of Northern Virginia.

Jason

You missed the cameo by Dave Grohl. 😕

Jason

It’s a blink and you’ll miss it scene ma’am. You usually have such an excellent eye, I thought there was an outside shot that you might notice it. Dave Grohl appears in the background of the FBI building just as the villain, Robert Modell, sneaks into the facility—Grohl walks past wearing a jacket with his then-wife, Jennifer Youngblood, right before Modell reaches the metal detectors. You’re almost to Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. 🤗 Take care and be well.

*Scully and Mudler in an intense discussion about some dude's brain tumor and the potential side effects * Dak, "Stop looking at his lips girl" Haha. Love it.

Joe Villalobos

What a power to have to make someone bend to your will with nothing but your voice. Who hasn’t wondered what that would feel like? Scully’s skepticism does start to feel repetitive at this point, but that’s baked into the show’s DNA: the believer and the skeptic circling each other, occasionally flirting with something more, depending on the episode’s mood. These two episodes are a bit of a step down from the previous pair, but they’re still competent if not quality, solid hours of X‑Files, even if they don’t hit the same highs. Also, how do you Brits do without AC? I’ve lived in the U.S. Southwest my whole life—from El Paso to Las Vegas—and AC isn’t a luxury, it’s survival.

Chris Moffit

Been binging these and I heard you mention Breaking Bad in one of these reactions so, fun fact, this episode was written by the creator of Breaking Bad Vince Gilligan. His episodes tend to be my favorites. This episode is definitely a favorite for me.

Killian Curran

Pusher was a superb psychological episode, so well written and acted here. The brilliance of Vince Gilligan's writing again ( the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul). A brilliant concept looking at mind control and psychotic behaviour, the tension in the last scenes between Mulder, Scully, Modell and the gun was unbearable, almost like that incredible Russian Roulette scene in The Deer Hunter. Many action films, and indeed TV Series have had many scenes where mind control is used. This only scores 8.4 on IMDB I think this should be much higher. This episode is one of the best TV Dramas exploring this issue. Love the callback at the start to The Host episode from s2 in the magazine at the supermarket, and of course Dave Grohl and his wife got a brief cameo when Modell enters the FBI Building. Vince Gillgan had to stand his ground here as the Network wanted to drop The Russian Roulette scene in the hospital, which is the best scene from this episode, and one of the best in the entire series.

Starting to think I might have put a hex on old Skinnz after an earlier comment I made about him on here. It’s like when the Hulk was guaranteed to Hulk-out twice a show - now appears the AD is obliged to take a punishing kicking every episode. It’s great 😃
