Yeah, I definitely liked this episode better than the previous ones. I would like for Echo to stop getting smacked around by men, but I suppose this is groundwork. And, you know, deus ex machina to break the cameras.

I thought that Smarmy hit her directly in the face, that he'd broken her nose, but evidently no. Because it seems like no matter what your conditioning was, when you woke up and were feeling like going for a swim, you'd also be all, "Damn, my face hurts."

Cow-eyes reminds me of Peter Parker's landlord's daughter.

"I brought you some leftovers"? please. That's an entire pan!

I know! I thought that was kinda cute, though. That's how all her "leftovers" are.

So it's a fat joke? It bugged me like when a TV character gets a present and the top comes off all wrapped, or a woman picks up her purse and you can tell it's empty.

Wait, was I the only one who thought her cleavage-y outfit this episode was WAY better than the first? And actually sexy?

FYI, my housemate asked this episode "Why doesn't the FBI agent go after the hot neighbor?" When I told him that here people referred to her as the dumpy neighbor he said you were all insane. He noticed her from the first episode.

I think it's less a fat joke and more a "look how desperate she is" joke.

Sure, she's dumpy. In crazy insane TV land.

It's all relative. I mean, look at the amount of makeup on the religious people.

Yeah, I thought she was gorgeous from the get-go, and thought the whole point was that Not!Helo is too buried in work to notice the hot girl next door.

Yeah, I read it as Mulder is too busy to notice Scully.
