The X-Files S05E18: The Pine Bluff Variant

  • Usherette? The feminine form of usher is usherette?
  • Trying to determine the method of delivery for the deadly biotoxin: "It's gotta be something everybody touched," says Scully, before picking up a ticket stub off the ground with her BARE HANDS
  • The movie theater is playing Die Hard With a Vengeance. Die Hard (the original) is about criminals masquerading as terrorists to steal money. Guess what the terrorists in this episode are trying to do? If you guessed "steal money," you get a prize. Send one dollar to Happy Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield USA to claim your prize.
  • Those monster masks the terrorists wear to rob the armored car can't have been cheap. Why not buy cheap masks? Why bother with monsters?
  • This episode fits really weirdly into the season. Weirdly as in, it doesn't.
  • It's nice to see old white men as terrorists.
