Nisei (3.9)

3x09: Nisei

After Mulder shows Scully a tape he bought of an "alien autopsy", their search for the distributor leads them to a wider conspiracy involving Japanese doctors.

Mulder paid $29.95 for this tape - "That's not your usual brand of entertainment," says Scully 💀

Scully investigates MUFON group and finds that these abductees recognize her

Betsy Hagopian, one of the abductees, has advanced cancer

Scully recognizes a Japanese WWII doctor from her abduction

Apparently they are transporting aliens in broad daylight??

Mulder jumps on a moving train while on the phone lmao

Score: 8/10

Watch it? Yes, it's a decent mythology two-parter, it's a little weird in how it approaches Japanese characters (kung-fu, music), but I enjoy Mulder being peak unhinged while Scully finds out some heavy truths about her experience.

Rewatching the X-Files on this summer solstice…

(Episode 3.9: Nisei)

And it’s another mythology episode! But does anybody even care about my recaps? Or are you just here for more Mulder/DD pics?

At the end of the episode he jumps onto the roof of a moving train. You know, as one does.

Classic unhinged Mulder.

"seimei can't rape anyone because he can't touch them" meanwhile in the metaphorically raped by seimei club...

“Scully, after all you’ve seen! After all you’ve told me you’ve seen, the tunnel filled with medical files, the beings moving past you, the implant in your neck, why do you refuse to believe?

Believing’s the easy part, Mulder. I just need more than you. I need proof.

You think that believing is easy?”

How important is it to watch S3 E9 "Nisei"?

Should be seen on every watch & rewatch

Required viewing, recommended for rewatch but not essential

You should watch it at least once, but after that fair game

Depends on how much time you have, if need be can skip

This episode is entirely superfluous, okay to skip

This episode is superfluous AND sucks, SKIP

This episode sucks, but is necessary, WATCH

Summary: A mail order videotape of an alien autopsy blossoms into a much more complicated investigation when Mulder and Scully find the distributor of the tape killed in his own home apparently by a high-ranking Japanese diplomat. While Mulder's search for the video leads him to a train car, Scully investigates a Mutual UFO Network group and discovers several women who claim to know her.
