The X-Files Episode 10x03: Mulder and Scully meet the Were Monster

Best one of the series so far.
Rhys Darby was very funny. It was weird having the stoners from Episode 3x12 War of the Coprophages and 3x22: Quagmire, who always witness weird killings, back when the actors must be over 40 now, but it was good to see Alex Diakun appear in yet another Darin Morgan episode, this time as a pervy motel manager.
Also, it was really touching to have a gravestone dedicated to the late Kim Manners.
I loved the whole twist that the monster turned out to be some sort of human lizard creature that ended up turning into a human, which stopped this from being a rehash of Episode 1x19: Shapes.
I noticed a few references to old episodes: *Mulder's red speedos when he was being perved on (Episode 2x05: Duane Barry). *Scully's line, "I'm immortal, remember?" (Episode 6x10: Tithonus) *Also, the killer animal control officer was probably a reference to Eugene Tooms. I thought he was going to hibernate for 30 years at the end like Tooms.
I think I saw Reyes in the trailer for next week's episode.
