"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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.

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

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.

You probably aren't the only one. I would have given anything to be a fly on the wall for the first script reading.
