Viv's Halloween Blog - 5 days until Halloween!

[vivien]

I picked up season 5 of The X-Files at the library the other day, and I zipped through Detour, All Souls, and Folie A Deux. I love those Monster of the Week episodes. I honestly can't say that I enjoy the mytharc episodes at all anymore, except for maybe the first few seasons worth. But the MotW eps? Oh yeah. The Mulder/Scully dynamic makes me smile. I am very happy that enough time has gone by that I can actually fall in love with my favorite eps again.

One thing about All Souls - the Scully-centric one in which she tries to save the girls who are Nephilim - I noticed this time. It was so much deeper and richer than I remembered it. It gave me shivers; it's a creepy, beautiful episode. Sigh.


I really like this show. The crime solving is fun, but I am in it for Castle's relationship with his daughter. He is a kick ass dad. I'm also in it for the Firefly shout outs. *snickers*

The relationship between Castle and Alexis is my absolute favorite aspect of the show -- during tonight's episode, when he had to step up as a grown-up and make the call to the friend's parents? D'aww. *smishes*

And, bwah, yes -- the Firefly shout-outs (and, hee, the Buffy one!) tonight slayed me.

"Didn't you wear that like, five years ago?"

"Yeah ... "

"Don't you think it's time to move on?"

"But I like it."
