Slayers and X-Files Stuff

[kirarakim]

1) I finally finished Slayers Next a couple days ago and really enjoyed it a lot. So when I have a chance I will be buying the DVD set. I did think the end was a little rushed but I guess that better than being dragged out and getting boring.

I am sure more people have already seen the series but just in case

I like Demons but I've always felt that it was missing something, otherwise it'd be an absolute classic.

It's quite similar to season 3's Avatar in how the plot is set up, I think. Maybe that's the problem, I keep thinking "Damn, Avatar was better than this" when I watch it. >_>

Memento Mori is my favourite character/Mulder and Scully episode from season 4. I love that one.

I watched Zero Sum last night too. It's not a favoriute of mine but I actually liked the bees in this episode. At least it was sort of scary to suddenly see all these bees in an office or bathroom and attacking small children. I think it's the only time the bees sort of freak me out a little in an episode. Otherwise I just blame them for ruining kiss scenes XD

Avatar's great! I was really struck by how good it was when I watched it in my X-Files rewatch session last year. Zero Sum (the bee attack scenes are genuinely terrifying!) and SR819 are also pretty excellent.

You are right the plot lines are similar. But Avatar deals with Skinner.

It's not so much the plot line is "Mulder a murderer?" that makes the episode but the whole Mulder is almost at the breaking point and how much Scully trusts in him automatically. I mean we know she trusts him before this but I think it is just lovely that she doesn't question Mulder's innocence once. Because she knows Mulder.

Although to be clear it's not my no 1 favorite of season 4 just one of my favorites: I think my other favorites from that season are Paper Hearts, Memento Mori and Small Potatoes.

Yeah, the character stuff is the best aspect of the episode. I thought the stuff that dealt with the doctor could've been better... it felt like it needed a bit more work. But yeah, a good solid episode in my book.

Season 4 I find to be quite variable and not as good as 2 and 3, but damn does it have some classics in it. The three you mentioned are some of my favourites, and I'm a big fan of Unruhe and Leonard Betts (I'm also quite fond of Elegy). And Home of course! :D I'm a big fan of Tunguska/Terma as well, but don't tell anyone...
