Things Are Getting Strange

Rubber Mask Reality

Nick & Kim Season 9 Episode 2

Daemonicus is Kim's most hated episode of the entire run of The X-Files. Fun times!

A good start leads into an increasingly dissatisfying experience and we once again discover how different intent was to how we wound up interpreting the episode on both watch and re-watch. Inevitably we also end up talking about Hannibal and also Hannibal.

Also; its clear the writers don't quite know what to do with Reyes...

4-D is better though bleaker and depressing and should probably have shown up in the series later. But the series struggles to know what to do with Scully, these initial episodes seemingly written before her return was confirmed.

And really, why ask about vampires of all things?
