Episode 28: Sleepless (...in Vancouver -- doubling for New York)
Tony Todd is a wonderful actor, and it's great to see him show up here - in one of his many appearances on genre TV in the 1990s - and Daniel and I do talk about that, as we discuss this very good episode.
But we also discuss the particulars of The X-Files at this point in its run, when the writers had to figure out how to craft episodes around the reality of Gillian Anderson's pregnancy and come up with ways to minimize her use, while still delivering on the initial promise of the series.
We talk about the necessity of someone for Mulder to play off of, which may or may not have been the principal catalyst for bringing in Alex Krycek as an important supporting character, which in turn gave them the opportunity to take the series in an interesting direction going forward.
It's, as usual, a good talk.
Dig in.
