Actually, it was a fairly decent episode. It was basically a resolution for the Lone Gunmen series -- in fact, the episode was probably a donor organ from the dead Lone Gunmen show to the X-Files show, which is on life support with a terminal illness. ;-) Like Gary, I watched Alias and taped X-Files, but I managed to watch X-Files on tape during The Practice rerun. X-Files is actually beginning to pull together again, with the new cast. They just need to stay away from the boring supersoldiers thread, which contributed nothing to the show but an excuse for Lucy Lawless running around nekkid. ;-) The show actually had some decent episodes when they stayed away from the story arc. The show could have worked out with the new cast, if they had just gotten over the absence of Mulder, and told some more decent stories instead of trying to dangle Mulder in front of the audience. Mulder's back! Well, wait, no he's not... No he's back! No... Then again, that's basically the same way the show has always treated resolutions to the various plot threads, piling conspiracy on top of conspiracy until the whole pile of crap toppled over. SPOILERS FOR LAST NIGHT'S LONE GUNM... UH... X-FILES EPISODE: In a Wrath of Khan scene, all three of the Lone Gunmen died, sacrificing themselves to contain a terrorist bioweapon that would have killed thousands. At the end, that left Jimmy and Yves to carry on the fight. I'm guessing the Gunmen will not be in any more X-Files movies... Unless of course their deaths were all part of a larger conspiracy... <groan> ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
