| Ah, the Monster of the Week. I haven't seen an episode like this since Season 5. Chris Carter said that the X-Files would be heading in this direction, and I'm pleased with the results thus far. I was kinda scared a few times tonight! Obviously, the dynamics of the show have changed. It will still take time to become accustomed to the idea of Scully and Doggett working together on the X-Files, just as it is so wonderfully evident that Scully is attempting to fill a new role, of sorts, with Mulder gone. Now, about this whole desk thing. At first, I admit that I was upset at the thought of Doggett getting a desk. Immature? Yes. But it's just that one of the nice, quirky things about the X-Files was that, for some unexplained reason, Scully never had a desk. It was all part of that sloppy Mulderness. HOWEVER, upon taking a little time to reconsider, I realize that it is very, very Scully to take care of this matter. It's only logical! While she makes it plain that it is Mulder's office, she does take one practical measure to remind us that she is still herself. I appreciate that. A |
