It was a pretty good one from one of the later seasons. Mulder made everyone in the world disappear.

I was never a devoted XF fan, not the way I am with the Jossverse.

XF was probably my first fannish show, but the extent of my fandom involved a Mulder-derived screenname and hanging out in the X-Files chat room on AOL. I was young then. With the Jossverse, though, I've been introduced to a whole new level.

Oh, and I have a lot of the early XF seasons on tape at home. God bless FX.

The kinda hot genie with the teardrop under her eye.

Oh, that was almost as bad as the Butt Genie ep, but in a completely different way.

What was so bad about it? I enjoy it.

Je Souhait. That was fairly innocuous fun, I thought. I liked the giggly Scully covered in yellow powder. And the poor man's Janeane Garofalo was kind of cute.

Well, compared to snaking-birthing, starlight children, and Scully suddenly becoming a Buddhist new-ager (wtf?), it wasn't too bad. But that's not saying much.

I loved Mulder trying to write the perfect, iron-clad wish. And the genie trying to get the trailer trash guys to wish the one guy out of his wheelchair. "I know! The chair! I could get a gold-plated wheelchair!"

Mulder's peace on earth meaning he was the only person on the earth. And he immediately thought of Scully.

Ah, good times.

That stuff was hilarious. It was a fun episode. We watched it at my friend's X-Files party.

Yes. I enjoyed that one. Completely blanking on the "Butt Genie" though.

Favorite episodes are still probably "Bad Blood" and "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" though.

I like Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, War of the Coprophages, Memento Mori, Small Potatoes, The Post-Modern Prometheus, Triangle, Beyond the Sea.

Jose Chung!

Still neck-and-neck with "Restless" as my favorite hour of TV evah.

I got the impression the Genie really did want to do good things for people, but that most of the requests were more worthy of the trojan horse clause and invoked the double-edged sword.

If trailer trash guy had asked for his legs to have healed, I think she might have been light on the consequences. At the most a broken leg jumping for joy.

It's amazing how many times the genie story is retold, even charmed did it. I suppose if the first person in the show were to remember to free the frelling genie with the third wish, there wouldn't be a story.
