Plots(1)
When a dead body is found in the woods, Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate whether it was an animal attack, a serial killer or just maybe a strange creature as described by eyewitnesses. Meanwhile, Mulder is able to confront some of his own demons about feeling disillusioned with his life's work. (iTunes)

Yeah, this is how I like my Mulder. Occasional playful and conscious metaparodic episodes have always been an integral part of the X-Files, after all, there is a reason why many of them are simply one of the best shows that were ever created for television screens in the 1990s. And no one could make them better than Darin Morgan. Although this is not one of the absolute best, it does not mean in the slightest that it perhaps lacks an idea or is not packed with one-liners, is not funny and is not well-build despite all that over the top staff. Because it is really good. That is for sure.

During the cold opening I told myself “oh, oh! this is not for me”. The funny episodes of The X-Files never were my favourite and I had the creeping feeling that this one would be a disappointment, that it was taking valuable space in the limited scope of a six-episode revival. But after a while, it started to work on me and I had a lot of fun. The entire climax that begins with the meeting in the graveyard was hilarious and exceeded my expectations.
