It's such an absolute metaphor for what happened to the X-Files in the end.
It all came out of someone's ass?
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hey, I love the Flukeman episode. Poor Darin. That suit must have been hellishly uncomfortable to wear.
Oh, I like that episode, but hardly the best use of Darin's talents.

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?
Devils in the Diner, which was beyond wonderful. I thought the Jose Chung one was uneven and a little overdone. Also, as a semi-coda to JCFOS, not needed.

Worth it for the Duchovny cameo alone. Also, smilin' Frank Black. But I'll agree the Scientology rip was a tad obvious, and conflating it with a Depak Chopra type made no sense.

I always hoped for a reappearance of Yappi as a fake psychic on one of the Mutant Enemy shows.

Heh. I think there was an immense subliminal desire out there for some tangential Buffyverse/X-Files crossover.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
At least we got a couple of X-Files references in Buffy and Angel. Too bad there hasn't been any BtVS reference in TXF.

There are a few X-Files-Buffyverse fics out there. Some of them are pretty good.

Ah well, at least Farscape referenced Buffy. Better that than being forced to watch a late season X-Files episode to hear one fan shoutout.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I still don't remember the butt genie, and I was sure I'd seen every X-Files episode, even if the last 3 seasons or so were mostly a masochistic exercise. Maybe I've intentionally repressed the memory.
