It feels a lot like All Souls forgets all about the events of Revelations from season 2 - that time it heavily implied Scully was set to be the next Messiah's guardian in some future conflict. Instead Scully has an opportunity to come to terms with the events of Emily - but also encounter a Seraph (maybe) and the Devil (maybe).

All we really know is that the CGI is terrible. And its oddly easy to get the Seraph confused with one of the other guest cast members. And if we have a devil wandering proceedings, why couldn't we get Mrs Paddock back from Die Hand, Die Verlezt?

Seinfeld has kind of poisoned our estimation of certain actors - thus both of us noted one of them as Kruger rather than the character he was actually called in The Pine Bluff Variant. Inevitably discussion quickly winds up with: if Mulder and/or Skinner just told Scully what was going on, things would go so much more smoothly.

But despite our best efforts, we can't quite make sense of how the part in the cinema actually works - and why anyone would dare touch anything the militia group in this episode has handled.
