She may have used the wrong verb for love... I thought it was pleasure though. I was twelve at the time, and can't remember what she said... just the audience laughing. She was quick on her feet though... when someone explained it she made a joke of it and just carried on in English.

My all-time favorite show!

Mine (by season)-
1- 'Shadows'. 'Ghost in the Machine', 'Ice' (freaked me out!), 'Eve'

2- 'Blood', 'Irresistible', 'Our Town'

3- 'DPO', 'Wetwired'

4- 'Sanguinarium' (my #1 fave), 'Elegy', 'Demons'

5- 'The Post-Modern Prometheus', 'Chinga', 'Folie a Deux'

6- 'Dreamland I/II', 'Agua Mala', Milagro'

7- 'The Sixth Extinction', 'Orison', 'Theef', 'all things'

8- 'Roadrunners', 'This is Not Happening', 'Essence'

9- 'Hellbound', 'Audrey Pauley', 'Sunshine Days'

It's a list in progress, as I have only watched 111 out of 202 episodes and only the first film. Hopefully I can stay up late (as the only airtime is 2 A.M. local) over the summer to watch more.

5x11 Kill Switch
3X12 War of the Coprophages

I had a chance to get the X-Files boxset once around Christmas time (technically after Christmas actually) at Costco, but they no longer have it!! ! (Growls) Anyway, when I watched X-Files here were a few of my faves.

Season One - Eve
Season One - Miracle Man
Season One - Shapes
Season One - Tooms
Season One - Young at Heart

Season Two - Soft Light (where I first learned of dark matter, and how strange it is)

Season Three - D.P.O.
Season Three - Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
Season Three - Jose Chung's "From Outer Space"

And my list actually goes on, but it would probably take forever to post.

In regards to favorite episode of X-files? that would have to be the following as, I've transcribed the storyline of my favorite episode..

5X11 Kill Switch
When computer genius and co-inventor of the Internet, Donald Gelman is killed in the cross fire of a shoot out between a gang of drug dealer and two deputy marshals in a downtown diner. Mulder recovers his lap top computer and an unmarked CDROM, which he takes to the Lone Gunman. But they are unable to crack the disk's security code. Scully suggests they check Gelman's e-mail. They find a message containing an ID number for a shipping container from someone named Invisigoth. Mulder and Scully trace the shipping container but as they attempt to inspect it, Mulder is nailed with a stun gun. Scully manages to apprehend a suspect, Esther Nairn, a young woman who knew Gelman. The shipping container is full of her computer equipment, as they question Esther, her attention is drawn to one of the screens. She tells Mulder and Scully that a Department of Defence satellite is locking on to their location. Despite their scepticism the agents leave the shipping container which is destroyed moments later. Esther claims that Gelman had succeeded in creating a sentinel Artificial Intelligence, a self aware computer program, which he released on to the Internet so that it could evolve. Now the AI is targeting the people who created it and killing them off one by one. Gelman was working on a virus program nicknamed 'Kill Switch' to search out and destroy the AI. Mulder and Scully must find the AI and use the 'Kill Switch' before the AI can kill anyone else.


I hope, I've done nothing wrong by pasting the storyline as such?

Regarding the ongoing Alien story, I thought Gesthamane, Redux 1 and Redux 2 was the best.

Best single episode is the Great Mutato for me

Not one mention of "Musings"? Even if you realize it's not good for the plot line even as exgeratation (CSM fixing the Olympics, really?), it does give flavor to the character that really was the best of the show.

As far as acting in an episode goes, I'd say "Biogenesis", mainly because of the CSM/Mulder dream sequences. "Two fathers/One Son" was probably the best, or in a tie with "Anasazi/Blessing Way/Paperclip".

The episode where the guys from Lone Gunman had told Mulder of the Cigarette Smoking Man's secret history of being the assassin of both JFK and Martin Luther King.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Ghost in the Machine
about the smart building turning against people

Quagmire
about a lake monster

I much preferred the good old 'monster of the week' episodes

There was a really eerie scene in one the later episodes though, when Mulder called Scully and a Mulder was already in the room with her. The creepiness of that one is something I've never forgotten.
Very reminiscent of later goatman creepypastas.

My favorite X-Files episode would be Død Kalm--The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. In the episode, Mulder and Scully are called in when a boatload of survivors from a U.S. Navy destroyer escort are found. What particularly catches Agent Mulder's attention is that all of these sailors appear to have aged many decades in the course of a few days. Mulder and Scully travel to Norway where they find a civilian fisherman who is willing to take them to the ship's last known position.

I liked it cause, it illustrated what potentially things could happen out on the open oceans, in fact, I remember a time when I was in a place that was known for strange phenomenon and something did happen, but I did not wind up with accelerated aging, yet doubted the official reason a passenger ship was stuck in the water.

Only one person mentioned Home so far, that's my favourite episode. Super twisted.

Ghost In The Machine

"Ice"
