miriam_eFrom time to time that show really shines and we get to see why it originally became such a big hit. Tonight's episode "Improbable" was just such an occasion. Sadly, Channel 10 have decided to bury X-Files at 1am which means most people will have missed one of the best episodes in ages. I chortled and chuckled all the way through this wonderful story which had Burt Reynolds playing either the devil or god with charm and humor. It really made me wish I could speak another language because all the songs and many of what seemed clues were not spoken in English. The entire story played out like a game or joke upon the viewer. I just love it when they do that. :D

I noticed it stashed away in the late night timeslot when I checked http://www.sofcom.com.au for TV schedules. I avoid turning on the TV unless there is something I *really* wanna watch -- I just get sucked in waaayy too easily. :)
I didn't remember "Jose Chung's from Outer Space" so I just now watched it again. I laughed and laughed. Wonderful!
My all-time favorites would have to be "War of the Coprophages" (the one about the cockroaches) and "Bad Blood" (the one about the village of vampires) -- or at least those two are the ones that stick most firmly in my mind. Odd how the humorous ones are my favorites. I guess I have the greatest admiration for writers of good comedy -- it is so bloody hard to write well. Horror, in particular benefits nicely from it as a tension releaser.
Gee they did a lot of brilliant work on that series.
