Great album. Seriously guys, the Police at their best.
Sorry, just wanted to start this one on a positive note. It is so easy to nitpick this one; it does to computer programmers what Jersey Devil did to me!
That said, I actually enjoy this one if I don't think too much and just watch it. Like the writers intended! I dunno, it entertains me! I'll even watch it out of sequence, and not during a rewatch!. Wow. Not many X-philes will admit to that!
It's just... exactly how I feel about everything being automated. Well, not like computers are going to set traps to kill people out of a sense of 'self preservation', but... if, say, an automated tap starts running, and it doesn't just stop like it's supposed to... you have a mess, and a waste of water, and there's nothing you can do about it!
But with a real tap... you can, you know, just turn it off, manually.
Ditto locking doors. Etc. Oh PS, I think videotaping public places is necessary, but also creepy and invasive:
I always thought this was a strange one to see Deep Throat in. Mulder treats him like a video game walkthough... 'this is too tough! Help!'. I think it makes him lazy!
I also think the writers were just afraid that we'd forget who DT was, since we haven't actually seen him since the second episode.
Cute M & S moment: he can't find his notes (which have been stolen by his buddy. Thanks, bro.). "Well, maybe if you cleaned your desk more than once a year..."
It's beyond cheesy but I like Scully getting stuck in the vent. Boy, there is a lot of paper in that vent.
Bonus points for the guy who goes to jail to save his machine from the corrupt government. Because he says this line "they are already making me wear shoes, what more do you want from me?"
More bonus points for sympathy from Scully.
And double bonus points for elevator UST; quickly becoming my favourite kind of season one UST.
In fact, that's my next post.
