No more bickering.
On buffistas? Hmm. That's a thought.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I must say, there is something poetic about the butt genie episode.
It's just such an apogee of adsurdity.

Surely an album title in waiting.

I was hoping to save it for my epitaph.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
You know, I never actually saw the Butt Genie X-Files episode; I had stopped worrying about seeing every episode by then and was only bothering w/ the mytharc eps (Yeah, I was a fan of the mytharc to almost the very end and sometimes even tried to figure out what it all meant. I think this makes me a masochist.). It took me a while to accept that the show that gave us so many brilliant characters and "Jose Chung's..." and "Bad Blood" and "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (another great hour of television) really had done that. A Butt Genie. A magical F'in Butt Genie.
Anyways, it just occured to me that in terms of great seasons of a show, one very underrated one is Millennium's Season Two. Goodbye Charlie...

Seriously - they managed to outdo the Jebuslug; that takes some doing.
Another great episode - "Small Potatoes". But then again, just about anything Darin Morgan had a hand in was good (I'll try to forget he was Fluke boy).

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hey, I love the Flukeman episode. Poor Darin. That suit must have been hellishly uncomfortable to wear.
Ditto on "Jose Chung" being up there in my list of one of the best episodes of TV ever. Admist all the hilarity, I find the episode also unspeakably sad. The scene with Lt. Shaeffer at the diner, for example, strikes me as a moment of perfect horror--in which a man's perception has become so screwed up that he is left to wonder if his own body is a figment of imagination--that's played for laughs. Plus, there's that epilogue, which is as bleak as anything I've ever seen during the darkest mytharc episodes. Morgan's work in The X-Files has often made me wonder if he was clinially depressed when he wrote them.
I've just ordered Millennium S2 (which I've never seen) DVDs from Amazon, which contains two more Darin Morgan-penned episodes. I've been told by some people that those two episodes are even better than his TXF work. I can't wait!

One of them is up to par with, the other is slightly below, IIRC.
CBFR is the best hour of X-Files EVAH!!1!. I admit I prefer it to JCFOS.

Vonnie: If you like intelligent, blackly funny TV, you will love it.
P.M., which Darin Morgan-penned episode did you prefer? The Jose Chung one or the Devils in the Diner one? I thought they were both fantastic, and w/o getting spoilery, do you remember actor Bobby Wingood?
Does anyone know what Darin Morgan's doing these days? I think we should somehow find a way to make a hybrid clone of him and Joss; that would be the TV god.
