Scully's mom - Cancer Man, British man & the other old guys talking (including the fat guy who's such a bad actor) - Krycek - the Lone Gunmen ... everybody good is in this episode! Sad that Melissa Scully dies tho.
shareWas it just me, or did the "Files, lot's and lots of files" exchange between Mulder and Scully sound like they were reading a page from a Dr. Seuss book?
shareYeah, maybe that was the inspiration. It sure gave me a chuckle. Mulder said something too in that scene that I can't remember now ... darn. I always figure they let Duchovny get away with improvising at moments like that.
shareI remember his earlier line when they were trying to get in to see the files, "I'd like to try door number one Monty". (Old school Let's Make a Deal reference).
Was that it?
Yes! It was lines like that that made me fall in love with DD.
shareThat line makes me laugh every time I see it.
shareIt would be kinda fun to see just a highlights film of all of Mulder's (and maybe Scully's) funny lines, wouldn't it? There were LOTS. That humor made all the tension work even better.
shareOne of my favorite Mulder quips is in the episode 731, I think. Mulder is trapped on the train with the bomb, assasin, and creature/person. Scully calls and he says something like, " Let me tell you, Scully. You haven't seen America until you've seen it by train," or something like that. It's funny every time.

I totally agree, GAG, that was hilarious. He always knew how to cut the tension. I don't know, I'm thinking maybe we should start a thread of all the funny lines we remember from Mulder. Bet it would be long.
shareI thought you were talking about 'Operation Paperclip'.
"Operation Paperclip was the codename under which the US intelligence and military services extricated scientists from Germany, during and after the final stages of World War II."
In other words, USA INCORPORATED Nazís into their 'science community' and that's how NASA was formed.
I didn't think this show would dare talk about things like that, they rather talk about black goo monsters of the week.
I believe that is where the inspiration for the episode came from. Mulder even tracks down an ex-Nazi scientist guy. From memory, they were helping experiment on alien/ufo technology.
shareagree, it was a good one
shareI do not remember a lot about this chapter right now but...I am sure it was good 😉
