Hello All!

Why did I have to watch this one as the second instalment this week...now I gotta wait a week to watch part 2! Intense episode, Krycheck the cockroach strikes again! Mulder is on the run for answers, Scully is taking the brunt of it and Skinner has been sucked into the case too! It's all going on. What on earth are they gonna do with these black wormy Mars aliens?!

Much love

Tunguska was a brilliant episode, part of the the two parter along with Terma. We are back with a bang with the Mythology here with The 'McCarthyite' beginning here, with Scully being grilled by the panel. A tip from Krycek takes Mulder to a gulag in Tunguska, Russia where prisoners are being used for experiments with the black oil alien virus. Meanwhile, Scully's colleague is infected with the same virus which lay dormant in a meteorite. When Mulder makes it to Russia, Krycek emerges again, then we see Mulder restrained and the black oil infected on everyone, such a disturbing ending. Leads on to some great episodes. Once again the writers link it to actual historical events with the story lines to enrich the overall plot, with the actual Tunguska event of 1908 being the biggest explosion ever recorded before prehistoric ones of course, as the the asteroid exploded before actually hitting the surface. I remember watching this on the brilliant TV Show Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious world a teenager and being fascinated by it.

A couple of facts to start off; because of National Security issues, an FBI agent cannot be compelled to reveal the location of another agent that is in the field. Such information would compromise the mission objectives, not to mention the agents life. Second, diplomatic couriers are routinely waved through customs. If they do need to be detained, there must be a member of the state department present. These scenes must have been added for dramatic effect. The meteor fragments are a very real thing. It has given a great deal of energy concerning the the origin of life on this planet. Linking it with the Tunguska event is inspired storytelling. The black goo is like the Venom symbiote, or something out of "Alien". It might not change a persons character in a significant way, only how the "alien" wants. BTW: Way off topic here, but I could see you on horseback. You'd probably look fetching in one of those riding outfits.

And now you get a taste of what it was like watching things week to week! lol Also, nice to see Mulder getting kidnapped and tied for a change. It was definitely his turn.

Krycek is like a cockroach, he won't go down easy. Not even the "black oil". This is an episode that establishes the importance of the alien "black oil" virus, which is central to a global geopolitical arms race, proving that the American Syndicate is not the only group with access to the alien conspiracy.

PongPong31

You remember correctly. Before this episode the last we saw of Krycek was him puking his guts out, or rather the black oil extracting itself, onto the ship that was stored in the silo. And as far as we know it does hijack the host, robbing them of agency, leaving them in an amnesiac state after it exits.

By gum, Mully *does* appear to be rather pickled-up here, doesn’t he? Anyway, thanks for all this. First time I’ve watched The X Files in 20+ years & mostly feels like I’m watching it for the first time all over again.
