Krycek's motivations are even hazier than Lindsey's though. He certainly doesn't have the personal grudge to go after Mulder that Lindsey does for Angel - it's more like motivationless malignity.

Also, weren't there two Krycek's? Was the one who got trapped in the Russian ship the same one who seemed to be an alien? And then didn't seem to be an alien?

No, no, only one Krycek. Who was infected with the black oil for a while.

Oh, I almost forgot the part where they both started out in suits, but later showed a preference for tight jeans.

I'm just musing. Not really looking for any deeper meaning.

No, just the one. He was infected with the black oil for a little while though.

Last night my brain decided to fixate on a comparison between Lindsey and Alex Krycek. Here are the highlights: Both have ho-yay potential with the lead male (although Krycek's remained more sub than text); both had a wooden hand (too bad Krycek didn't get his replaced with an evil hand - that would've been fun!); you never know which team either character is playing for (so to speak) at any given time

I had to read this way too many times before I could be sure Lex wasn't in it.

ita, if I watched Smallville it probably would've been a three way.

And there's no way I can get the porn out of that sentence.

For which I thank you.

You are quite welcome.

And that's why he got his forearm chopped off, right? Heh, evil hand issues!

God, even when they were trying the X-Files never really made a lick of sense.

No, that was a different time. In Tunguska they were experimenting with a vaccine for the black oil. Apparently it had something to do with smallpox vaccinations because if you didn't have a left arm (ie smallpox scar) you didn't get experimented on. So the kind locals removed his arm to save him.

hey all, I can't believe the last ep is Weds -- I'm going to miss all of you as much as the show. I just can't believe this fall I won't be watching Buffy or Angel! I don't talk much, I think only once before, but I had to shout out how much the analyses and thoughts really really make watching the show more fun. We have been, by the way, watching Tru Calling and almost quit but the last few episodes were much better. And Joan of Arcadia truly is a great show -- for what it is worth, it is very much an ensemble story thing, so the parents lives and the siblings lives are just as important as Joan's. I mean it is more than a high school show.
