Local WB channel showing X-Files episode "Home" tonight

I can't wait for this one, one of my all time favorites and the one they never rerun.

(Yes, the momma under the bed episode.)

1. Thanks for the warning

That was too creepy, even for a lawyer.

My favorite - it just about left me limp - was the one with Peter Boyle as the psychic guy. Remember that one?

Oy, the ending, the ending of that one................

3. that's one of the best one's they made, IMO

That song that's played (So in Love?) gives it a wonderfully creepy feel.

4. That's my favorite too!

The first time I watched it, I was home alone on a stormy night. It was a perfect backdrop for that episode.

The use of music in 'Home' was great too.

5. Yikes

That's one of the most gruesome episodes ever. I can't even watch it again--it scares the bejeebers out of me.

9. They showed that ep in Phoenix last night.

I watched it and thought, "What a twisted episode!" I remember seeing it when it originally aired but I had forgotten how disturbed it really was!

10. I saw it when it originally aired as well.

From what I've read, it was so disturbing it didn't even air in all Fox markets that night, and Fox never reran it. I know I haven't seen it since it originally aired myself.

12. I remember they said they would never air it again.

But I didn't realize that it hadn't been originally aired in certain cities. That's kind of funny.

15. The episode is supposedly set in Pennsylvania

Edited on Sun Mar-20-05 09:04 PM by HamstersFromHell

Not terribly hillbilly there I would think?

Does raise another potential poll:

Were The Beverly Hillbillies Inbred?

on edit: my spelling (again)

17. There are hillbillies in Pennsylvania.

Hell, I'd wager there are hillbillies in every state. It's not limited to the south or the Ozarks.

18. Pennsylvania has rural areas.

Outside the cities, many of the "Blue" states are not that urbane.

The Old Order Amish--NOT featured in the X-files episode--have considerable genetic problems because of inbreeding.

11. They run it during every holiday marathon

It's a terrific episode.

The X-Files at it's creative peak.

24. My favorite lines are...

Scully: "Way I think it goes here is that Edmund is the brother and the father of the other two."

Mulder: "Which means that when Edmund was a kid he could ground the other two for playing with his things?"
