thoughts on Release (9x17)
Written by David Amann Directed by Kim Manners
I will now try to move forward from the William Scully situation
Is it freezing on purpose or is my internet lagging
Go on, find your son’s murderer
Chris Carter I’m still pissed at you
She’s really just out here...still teaching at Quantico
Can we get some 5 stages of grief in here or…
The boy has got some knowledge...kinda scary
Uh so..what if the student is the killer...anyone got anything to say about that
Dana Scully literally put her many months old son up for adoption and we ain’t even talking about it
I have to laugh, as not to cry
As for the plot of this episode? Idk but that boy knows something
I’m right about that it appears
Sometimes Reyes and Doggett are an iconic team
They really just went right up to this guy and started grilling him, in the middle of a bar
Starting to have the realization that Doggett and Reyes are in fact not gonna kiss
Oh shit that’s how Doggett’s son was murdered, yikes
Nine years? I thought Luke died in 1991 for some reason
It’s his son’s case..one has to wonder
I will say, it is nice that they’re dedicating an episode to this
Will this have a more clear conclusion than Samantha’s case?
I’ve always wondered about his ex-wife
I don’t understand the point of a suspect lineup a decade later when we know she didn’t see anything
I was just thinking about how the least they could do if they’re not gonna address the William trauma is not have Scully frequently in the episode, then she walked onscreen
Doggett COULD have something with Reyes
Remember when Mulder didn’t get Scully a desk haha haha, it’s fine
Follamer’s like, dafuq is this about takeout
Y’all know Doggett is in the room right
So the agent helping him apparently has schizophrenia
He is the killer, I fucking told you!!
Follamer is a rat and we all know it
Follamer just expressed more anger in three words than DD in 8 seasons
This guy’s pretending to be guilty as hell, what
How can Scully even say the word son at a time like this
I feel that this is not an accurate portrayal of schizophrenia
Alright...I have to admit, I did not see this coming but it seems like this was actually planned from the beginning of Follamer’s arc
At least one character gets a worthy ending to that which has plagued him
I really thought Doggett and Reyes were gonna kiss for a sec tbh
Consensus: Pretty good, if you ignore the complete erasure of William Scully.
