December 10 2000: From FOX:

"A contagion lurks under the subway tunnels of Boston in the next episode from Frank Spotnitz. 'Medusa,' scheduled to air February 11th, will be directed by Richard Compton. Although it airs twelfth in the season, the script numbered 8X13 begins shooting on December 11th."

December 7 2000: From Anonymous:

"I just received some [info] for 8x13 (still untitled), which does indeed appear to take place almost entirely in the tunnels of the Boston T system. It looks like a standard MOTW, involving some kind of flesh-eating algae that has seeped into the tunnels from the Boston Bay because of the big dig - the algae gets on people and then is killed by a chemical reaction triggered by human sweat, which in turn causes some byproduct of the algae to consume itself and anything it's touching (including the human flesh). At one point, Doggett gets trapped down there while Scully's up above trying to figure out how to help him and the others he's with. It looks like there are at least a couple of heavy gore scenes with flesh burned away from someone's body down to a 'bloody bone.' Yuck. Looks like it might be a good ep -- though what I have of it reads a little like 'Darkness Falls' meets the Flukeman's sewer."

"The most interesting thing I see is that Scully is still calling Doggett 'Agent Doggett' or just 'Agent.' That made me happy for some reason. There's also a good line where a non-believer cop asks Doggett what a 'real cop' like him is doing on the X-Files and dismisses what he's hearing from D&S as 'paranormal mumbojumbo,' and Doggett later tells him that he's been on TXF for 3 months now, 'and I can tell you this much. You'd be wise to put your faith in Agent Scully, just like I am.'"

December 4 2000: From Autumn Tysko:

"An organism that consumes flesh is in the tunnels of the Boston subway system. Scully & Doggett investigate along with the Center for Disease Control (CDC)."
