Bad Blood is absolutely top tier

[@HotRodHippie]

I've always wondered how much of the Enimga's role in this episode was his own creation. He is a friend of many of my friends and plays up his act for people even off stage. Trying to weird out people on a regular basis is a bit of his thing. I've never discussed that episode with him but I can see some of his "own" personality coming through there. Fun to see some suspension at the start of your episode too. I'm a Suspension Practitioner and it is always nice to see a positive representation of that. So in that respect I love the entire aim of this episode

[@MsPurji313]

It is jarring to see him with so little coloured in!

[@tatehildyard5332]

Really. Watching the episode, I thought his character came off kind of pompous and douchey. Like he was the normie of the group, capitalizing on and appropriating the culture of the sideshow more than he was actually part of it. Granted, I could be wrong and maybe it’s just because he looked so much like Jared Leto that my brain automatically registered him as a douche. For the most part, people I’ve met working the sideshow scene turned out to be total sweethearts.

[@tatehildyard5332]

My mistake. I thought The Enigma was the escape artist.

I distinctly remember losing it at that shot of Mulder when I last watched this episode. It's just...that pose. Why is he casually standing like that? Loved the episode by the way, I'm a big X-Files nerd so more episodes on it would be more than welcome, especially some of the other Darin Morgan episodes like War of the Coprophages and Jose Chung's From Outer Space Side note, I didn't realise Curiosities and Oddities shows were even a thing, and it's kind of cool that something so historically exploitative has been reclaimed as something positive for the performers.

[@turnoffthetv]

See, I saw Lanny as very human, reacting to the grief of his brother rejecting him. His alcohol issue isn't "freakish" - it's what many people do when rejected by someone they love. I also found Dr Blockhead to be... not so much a jerk but in character? His little moments of critique like at the end are "real Blockhead" IMO and his more swaggery moments are stage persona. I don't think it's a perfect episode by any means, but it's always been a favourite because the overall message I walked away with in the 90s was an underlying respect and kindness and an endorsement for the autonomy of sideshow performers, as well as embracing uniqueness. If written today, I feel like it would be better informed, but 90s, Fox.... we know the execs shaped this to the "oooh, freaks" they wanted (eg Conundrum). (I also have BDD so it definitely speaks to me on that level too!)

Ahh, Darin Morgan X-Files episodes. You know you're in for a good ol' weird time when his credit rolled.

The latter in particular have some of the most bizarrely hilarious scenes in the whole show. Also, you can't miss "Bad Blood" the vampire episode with a buck-toothed Luke Wilson.

[@lazybacon7520]

If it's strange you want, Darin Morgan (this episode's writer) and Vince Gilligan wrote the most bizarre and unusual episodes, so you could look into their stuff. Morgan wrote Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - one of the best episodes - and one of Gilligan's episodes was Sunshine Days, which was about the Brady Bunch house seemingly manifesting and killing people. Those are great and strange, while also being kind of sweet.

Very yes to this coverage 🤘🏻 I'd suggest you look into: 'MTv's Oddities' - an awesome show from back in the 90's with a broad cast og 'freaks, geeks and mind-bending stories' Also, Chris Carter created another gem, 'Millennium' with Lance Henriksen as a police consultant with supernatural abilities - he has the 'curse' to be able to see and feeling what killers experience during the act of Murder

[@ah-nononoo]

I lOVE this. I recommend season 1 ep 8, "Ice" It's very similar in plot to a certain horror movie And there's a penis joke

[@thenamelessghuleh]

My husband and I just started re-watching the series from the beginning. (He’s never seen the show, and I grew up watching every episode from the day it first aired.) We’re coming up on “Ice”, and I can’t wait to get his reaction to it. (He’s only recently watched The Thing for the first time, too.) It’s one of my favorite episodes of the whole series. What are some of yours?

[@AJadedLizard]

I'd love to see more X-Files from you. It feels like a natural expansion of your channel. Also, I think it would be interesting to hear your reaction to the episode "Home." It may perhaps be the most...out there episode of the series, at least prior to its original cancellation.

[@2A4U.S.A]

The X-Files was one of my favorite shows in it's day.. This video brought back a ton of memories. Thank you!! That being said season 4 episode 2 is defiantly worth watching. Maybe a future video??

[@kristianfischer9814]

Nice to see you do X-Files, Roses. My suggestion for an ep to cover is S5E5 "The Post-Modern Prometheus".

[@sarahlilly2412]

God that was a weird episode....

[@JICheshired]

Honestly so excited to see you doing X Files. Can't believe I never though about this! Your anecdotes and strings of tidbits and facts are always very welcome as well. Good job as always!

[@AvidCat5000]

Great episodes: I loved the one with Tony Shaloub and his shadow powers, the one with Will Sasso and the genie trapped in a rug, and the one about the creature that becomes your greatest fear in "X-Cops" (a sort-of crossover).

[@DJBlastotron]

I remember this episode! I never saw it BUT, it was one of three X-Files books I got at the school book fairs as a kid! I don't know if it got translated to TV, but I liked how there was a bit of a role reversal in the book, with Mulder convinced nothing weird was going on but Scully kept pushing to investigate further. Also, yes, you are correct on why the little brother kept trying to find new hosts; it says in the book that he could tell his big brother was dying of alcohol poisoning.

[@charleshetrick3152]

Prolly “Home” would be a good episode to do.

[@JBWYT]

Love it! Please do more x-files! I started watching the series a few weeks ago, there’s some good gems in there

[@UltraPrimal]

When I watched this episode, I got the impression that Dr Blockhead and The Conundrum were lovers. Maybe it's just me.

[@enlightenedone9231]

I just subscribed to your channel I just love the way you express yourself, all that verbalisation.

[@DogNamedWatson]

I'm so thrilled to hear your reference Queen of the Deathlings, Caitlin Doughty.

[@vanyadolly]

RIP Kim Manners. He was such a gift to TV. This was the first 'silly' episode the X-files did and while it's not one of my favourites this video was really interesting!

[@beachgirl4583]

He’s missed by many.

[@EmilyRitcheson]

This was such an interesting episode - great to hear your thoughts about this stuff! My knowledge of X Files is limited, but I feel obligated to suggest that episode where Mulder gets stuck on a ship back in World War II and there's a thousand Wizard of Oz references.

[@beachgirl4583]

Was that “Dod Kalm”?

[@turnoffthetv]

@@beachgirl4583 No that's the one where the water they're drinking ages them. The time warp one is Triangle. And it's fantastic.

[@Wednesdaywoe1975]

@@turnoffthetv My favorite bit is where 1940s Scully decks him.

[@cameronphillips2696]

Really enjoyed this video. It's probably been about 25 years since I watched this episode of X-Files and even then it was on VHS.

[@Markimark151]

Will you be doing an episode on Ghostwriter, why is this show so overlooked, does that show even have a fanbase at all.

[@MamaMOB]

The show about kids and a ball of light thing? I loved that show!

[@Bluecho4]

Glad to know I didn't just imagine that show.

[@Markimark151]

Morgan O'Brien-Bledsoe that’s the show, it’s about a ghost that help kids solve mysteries!

[@Spiderplant1185]

That would be awesome.

[@encycl07pedia-]

It does have a fanbase. They even released Season 1 on DVD.

[@hellen2181]

Roses, I love everything you do. I love when you talk about shows like murder she wrote and goosebumps. I also love listening to you review and play games even through I’m not in anyway a gamer. Just something about the way you talk about these things is both funny and relaxing 💖

[@laurasanner8122]

"Must be something I ate." Is the quote that I remember best from the X-Files!

[@denispeck1026]

Yes! This is my #1 favorite show. Starting the video now, so excited to hear you talk about the first comedy episode of “The X-Files”!

[@themadyokai]

I would love to hear you cover the X-Cops episode

[@treetopterra7453]

This was a great video! Something along the same vein that I'd be interested in hearing you cover would be the movie Wolf Girl. It follows the same premise of the sideshow but portrayed in a more sympathetic light. And it has Tim Curry in it. :D

[@utubepunk]

*Jóse Chung's From Outer Space* That is all. Thumbs if you know.

please omg this episode is... bleeping amazing

[@anunaskedforopinion]

I've been saving this episode for the right time to enjoy it. I love X-Files and I love sideshows. This is one of my favorite, if not my most favorite, X-Files episodes.

[@julesrules7297]

I just came home to find my puppy broke into 3 different trash cans in 3 rooms and strew garbage everywhere after working all day. Listening to this while I clean and question my whole existence. Thank you for posting today.

[@efnfen]

Love it Roses. More X-Files please. And keep up the good work, bringing thoughtful outside commentary into the smaller closed universes of tv and movies.
