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!"
That stuff was hilarious. It was a fun episode. We watched it at my friend's X-Files party.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, War of the Coprophages, Memento Mori, Small Potatoes, The Post-Modern Prometheus, Triangle, Beyond the Sea.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Jose Chung!
Still neck-and-neck with "Restless" as my favorite hour of TV evah.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

ita, those are all awesome. I don't remember which one "Beyond the Sea" is, though.
"War of the Coprophages" had the roboroaches, right? He he.
I love "Bad Blood" to pieces. We watched that and "Jose Chung" at the party too. Also "Triangle."

"Beyond the Sea" is the S1 ep with Wormtongue and Gen. Hammond Scully seeing her recently deceased father's ghost, with Brad Dourif as the serial killer on the death row. Kick-ass episode.
Ahh, Darin Morgan. How I worshiped at your altar.

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose,
Don't remember this one.
War of the Coprophages
I can't remember if I've seen this one all the way through or not. I know for awhile it was the only episode I hadn't seen.
Memento Mori
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.
That was my impression too.
Which one was this? The title sounds familiar, but I can't remember the episode.
Small Potatoes, The Post-Modern Prometheus, Triangle, Beyond the Sea.
All good. Though a lot of people give me funny looks over PMP. And I remember that Triangle had the longest single-take I've seen on a TV show.

I really liked "The Field Where I Died." If I were rich I'd own all the DVDs. I should start renting them, I guess, I keep forgetting I can do that.

Cher really regretted turning down Post-Modern Prometheus.
