Fallen Angel
1x09
"Ack! It's raining Roma Downeys!"
First off, I just ate a caramel truffle-thing from some fancy chocolate place. My brother's girlfriend brought them back from England for us. Really, bringing food from England, I really doubt that that's an insanely treasured gesture. Atleast she didn't bring blood pudding or something. Anyway, the chocolate is just like...you can hear the cavities forming as you eat it...And the mystery of the British and their dental problems have been solved.
This episode is alright, I suppose. I never really can remember if I like it or not, so I guess I'll let you know when it's all over.
Mulder takes an early morning hike to look at a supposed [suh-pose-ed, not sup-posed; you have to get the pronunciation right or it doesn't make sense.] UFO crash site that the military is cleaning up. His powers for covert operations would insult anyone who has ever played hide-and-seek. Seriously, I mean, he doesn't even duck, he just sort of leans a bit. Really, the fact that he even evades capture for five minutes is a testament to the power of television. Mulder sticks out like Marlon Brando at the Teen Choice Awards.
Mulder gets caught, deservedly. He is locked up in what would appear to be a drunk-tank...He meets Max Fenig and becomes thankful for his cool exterior.
After Max and Mulder have a heart-to-heart, Scully comes and bails Mulder out. Then we see the "entity" go through the laser-perimeter that is all through the woods in Wisconsin, apparently. If you have the DVD set, you can see the hilarious way that they filmed it, I think. They used a guy in a big red suit that looked like he should be in an acid reflux commercial. Funny stuff.
When Scully and Mulder go back to his hotel room, they catch Max in there, stealing Mulder's socks, not doubt ["Hey, guys! I saw Fox Mulder! I stole his socks! How much do you think I could get for them on eBay? Or should I just keep them?"]. Max tells Mulder that NICAP, and a bunch of other organizations for those with nothing better to do, have been following Mulder's career. Isn't Mulder just like the most famous man in America, by now? I mean, Deep Throat, CSM, NICAP, X, Marita....when does he get his own 60 Minutes special?
Mulder gets thrown out of the Emergency Room when a bunch of military boys come in, cooked crispy style. I guess his HMO doesn't cover hospital waiting rooms.
Max was watching Pokémon and had a seizure. Mulder checks behind his left ear and realizes that he's an escapee from Waterworld. Unfortunately, Mulder didn't do the proper thing and suffocate him. [Hey! Back off Costner.]
I love it when the military honcho guy tells the girl reading the radar screens, or whatever they are, and says that the "unidentified object" is somewhere and the guy reminds her that it's a meteor. "The meteor seems to be hovering over a small town in eastern Wisconsin."
Why is it that when anyone uses Greek letters for as names for groups, they never use ones like Phi or Mu? Is it just because they don't sound cool enough? It's just discriminatory. On all TV, including this episode, they always say Alpha, Delta, and Omega. Those are the three that they always use.
At the end of the episode, the FBI has a meeting to yell at Mulder. Couldn't they just leave a slot open like every Tuesday for this? Mulder gets a bit un-Duchovny on us for a bit. He is....[cue the music]....melodramatic! [gasp!] [old woman faints] [a dog looks around mysteriously]
Overall, I think that when I remember this episode, I forget how much fun I have watching it. So, if you have nothing better to do tonight, go watch Fallen Angel and make fun of Mulder trying to look like he knows how to blend in...
