OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Season 2 of The X-Files continues!
Blood sees the welcome return of the Lone Gunmen and the first writing credit for Darin Morgan. We discuss how the novelisation makes a lot of aspects clearer and call into question guest-star William Sanderson's choices towards the climax.
Sleepless introduces a new partner for Mulder: Alex Krycek (returning and recast guest star Nicholas Lea). Bit of a shame it feels like someone forced the writers' hand about his function in the series but until the last 30 seconds he feels a lot like Mulder's younger replacement. Also Tony Todd is in this and great, though why his "your mind makes it real" powers don't outright kill Mulder is decidedly unclear.
No Kim's Conspiracy Corner this week; something tells us we're going to be very taken up with it imminently...
