Fresh Bones

"Waiter, take these bones back, please. They're stale."
Is it just me or does this episode seem like it belongs in Season 3. When I think of it, I always have to remind myself that it was a Season 3 eppy. Yes, I think about episodes on a regular and philosophical basis, and yes, I have no life. Voodoo in North Carolina. Yep, I believe that's a new one.
We interrupt this review to bring you Maggot Mix cereal. They're squirmy, they're wormy! It's the new cereal sensation that EVERYBODY'S talking about! Hurry to buy your box today, before the larvae fly off the shelves! Mmmm Mmmm Maggots!
Colonel Wharton just looks TOO creepy! I mean, when you want to try to surprise people with an ending (which I obviously don't) you just don't *don't* cast a scary looking guy to play the good-guy-who's-really-bad. In the words of good ol' JP "No, no, no."
Mulder and Scully go joyriding, in the rental car that we tax-payers are flipping the bill for, and nearly run over Private McAlpin. Well, since the guy's supposed to be dead, they probably wouldn't be in *too* much trouble if they did hit him. Well, they didn't (of course, not! There's no gratuitous violence anymore, just gratuitous maggots.), so it doesn't really matter.
The badged crusaders try to exhume the first dead Marine (not maggot-boy, someone else). Anyway, they go to the cemetery to have an early morning dig-a-thon, but the caretaker says that he was taken by the "body snatchers." The caretaker remarks on the Snatchers' activities, saying "That's not cool." Really? Can we say "Dude, Where's My Corpse?"
Actually, this sucker isn't too bad if you are patient and enjoy fly-tying. <---That was a maggot joke, just so ya know. Pretty gross, but worthwhile.
