I don't remember this episode, or the one after it ("The Pine-Bluff Varient"). I probably saw them, I'm just having trouble matching episode to name. Can someone help me out?
Jack, this one is the one with the deformed girls who get their eyes burnt out. Scully eventually figures out that it's part of a power struggle between God and the Devil...
The next one (Pine-Bluff Variant) is the one with the Vampires, where M&S have differing recalls of what happened.
No! That was "Bad Blood"! "Pine-Bluff Variant" is the one with the plague spread by the terrorist group who may or may not be in with the government.
Oops! You're right. Which was the one with the killer tree roots in the cellar?
"Sciziogeny". *sudder*
Thanks, Scott and Murray.
My personal kudos to Father McQ/the creators for making SURE it's known that the story about the creatures they were talking about was NOT Biblical!!! They needed redemption after their John 52:54 and 1 John 5:07 slips!!! (PS hi Phil, haven't talked to you in a while!!! :-p)
The children here, half-angelic/demonic and half-human, are referred to as nephilim. Yes, such things are mentioned in the Bible, just prior the flood, and I've read that there are all kinds of apocraphyal and pseudepigraphal stories about them. But they're "the heroes of reknown", "the giants in the earth"! Certainly way off from the depiction in this episode.
Hi! check out what I thought about this ep, and te entire season of the X-Files, in my web page:
