It's been stated a couple times now, but again for those of you not aware, there is and has always been three types of X-Files episodes
1) Mythology Episodes (e.g. Pilot, Duane Barry, Nisei, Closure) 2) Monster of the Week Episodes (e.g. Squeeze / Tooms, The Host, Detour, Folie a Deux) 3) Comedic [Monster of the Week] Episodes (e.g. Humbug, Jose Chung’s From Outer Space, Bad Blood)
This episode obviously fell into the third category.
That information aside, I feel like this was very close to hitting that nostalgic feeling of the earlier comedic episodes - but didn't quite make it. I definitely enjoyed it, laughed a lot, and watched it a second and third time. But I still feel like the second episode of this season is the strongest so far, then this one following, and the premiere tailing. I certainly can understand how newer fans of the show may be turned off by this one though - they're wanting aliens, conspiracies, flesh eating monsters, etc. But personally, I didn't think it was that bad.
