A STEP UP FROM RUBBER HOSES: thought the stungun/Bruno Hauptmann reference was pretty funny...
MUST BE THE MISSING LETTER FROM ED MCMAHON: must have been short on their Canadian content quota -- how many uniformed cops (as opposed to Crime Scene Unit) did they have searching the Lefante house?...
THAT'S WHY I DON'T CARRY A PEN: would you keep one
of those pointy awl things in your pocket, especially when you're up on
extend-a-legs? I sure as hell wouldn't...
LEE PRESS-ONS?: Scully seems to have fairly long fingernails for her job or am I mistaken...
AS THE TICK'S SIDEKICK, ARTHUR, WOULD SAY, 'NOT IN THE FACE!!!': not that it matters at all but the officer was shot in the throat not the chest...
SO NICE, WE GOTTA SEE THEM TWICE: this is the
second consecutive episode in which we get to see a close-up of Gillian
Anderson's feet (or those of a 'feet double'
)...
DO THEY GET ONE BULLET EACH LIKE BARNEY FIFE?: blame it on writer Vince Gilligan but it seemed as though Mulder had a very low opinion of the local police -- telling them to do the most basic things like check for other addresses for Gerry (which they had already done)...
TSOMOV on "The Field Where I Died":
WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU MA'AM: so much for foreplay,
that must be one of the shortest teasers (opening scenes) ever, just
over 1 minute by my watch...
AT LEAST SHE DIDN'T DROP IT: pretty bad gun
handling by Scully as Mulder is climbing into the bunker -- she is
pointing her weapon right at his back...
STILL NEEDS TO WORK ON THE CROTCH GRABBING: nice
loogy from Kristen Cloke! just like a real pro athlete.
LOOSE LIPS...: how can Scully practically give
up their source, Sidney, during their interview with the cult leader?
If he wasn't dead before, he will be now...
SHE HAS THE LITTLE KNOWN ABILITY OF EYELID-READING:
good thing Mulder covers his eyes and not his mouth when he leans over
to tell Scully something during their interview with Melissa.
I'M SURE HE WOULD WIN BEST OF BREED: DD isn't
trying to cry, he's doing his impression of a Chinese Shar-Pei (the
wrinkly dog).
TSOMOV on "Sanguinarium":
THAT'S WHY I DON'T MAKE MY BED IN THE MORNING:
why bother scrubbing before surgery when you need to touch a door
handle to get into the operating room?...
AT LEAST IT ISN'T ASBESTOS: I'm surprised
patients aren't dropping dead of infections with all the dust in
the operating rooms -- it looks like it's snowing when Mulder and
Scully examine the first crime scene...
THAT WOULD HAVE SHUT HIM UP: when Mulder first
brings up the idea of witches, Scully should have shot back that
they weigh all the suspects to see if they weigh as much as a
JUNIOR MINTS -- THEY'RE VERY REFRESHING:: what
kind of nurse wears a name tag and pins on her scrubs? At least when
Seinfeld's Kramer drops a Junior Mint inside a patient it has a
chance of being digested...
COULD USE SABRINA, THE TEENAGE WITCH: apparently
Nurse Waite isn't a very powerful witch -- she fails to protect any of
the patients, now or 10 years ago, and loses her struggle with Dr.
Franklyn...
LATE-COMERS WILL NOT BE SEATED UNTIL A BREAK IN THE
PERFORMANCE: Scully, a doctor who should know better, is so
concerned about Dr. Shannon that she rushes into the operating room
without even so much as a mask and turns Dr. Shannon's innards into
a giant petrie dish...
AGAIN WITH THE PHOTOS: that sure is a modern,
glossy finish on the photo of Sarah Kavanaugh (is the K spelling more
common than the C?)... And why would Melissa take it (which she did,
it is Biddle's photo left on the table) after she tears it in half?...
duck
(ref. Monty Python's Holy Grail)... )...
