It’s perfume. Eau de ball.

This scene is so sad in hindsight.  I’m not crying, you’re crying.

4x02...Home

X-Files Rewatch                                        “Home” 4x02

As soon as it starts, it all comes rushing back into my mind. It was able to twist my stomach 2 minutes in. It's even worse because now I know what's going on. I don't even remember what was my reaction when I watched this for the first time. But boy...

Got to say I'd forgotten how funny this episode is. At least in the beginning.

Specially when Scully is doing all the field work while Mulder is walking around playing with his ball, not listening. 

(***snickers**** playing with his ball...)

Which, of course leads to this amazing piece of writing by Glenn Morgan and James Wong.

S (after noticing M is not listening): "And I've quit the FBI and become a spokesperson for the Ab Roller." M: "Smell that. It's perfume. Eau de ball." (Scully smiles) M: God, this brings back a lot of memories of my sister. All day games out on the vineyard, ride your bikes to the beach, eat bologna sandwiches...only place you had to be on time was dinner. Never had to lock your doors. No modems, no faxes, no cellphones. S: Mulder, if you had to do without a cellphone, you'd lapse into catatonic schizophrenia. M: You don't know me as well as you think. My work demands that I live in a big city, but if I had to settle down, build a home, it'd be a place like this. S: It'd be like living in Mayberry.

Cue second X-files movie. I see what you did show.

Who lives in that house, Mulder? You don't want to know. You really don't. They raise and breed their own stock. Do you know what I mean?! Do you?

This episode is just 

And then we get this line:

S: "Imagine all a woman's hopes and dreams for her child, and then nature turns cruel."

Really show? Really? Foreshadowing much? 

But oh boy is this episode cruel. And throughout the Sheriff scene all I could do was scream at the tv: Woman, just stay under the bed. Don't effing move. 

Which is ironic because one of the clues to the mystery (if we can even call it that.) is actually under a bed.

But oh boy (you're be reading that a lot) is this episode cringeworthy. Even a simple eating scene is...just...no. 

And Scully, please don't take mothering lessons from a woman that made the perverted choices we were delighted with during this episode. 

And for the final foreshadowing that may regal us during the revival: 

Mrs.Peacock: "There'll be more. One day there'll be more.”

If this does happen, I'm feeling excited and at the same time: 

 Don't. Please don't.
