Chola Betty Boop

I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence.
Useless story time about my username: years ago my ex-girlfriend saw a painting from a local artist that had Betty Boop in it and she got mad: “Betty Boop is *not* art! Why does this town love Betty Boop?” I didn’t have an answer.

Really snappy episode—you can never go wrong ending an X-File with a musical number! We also get some classic X-Files rapid-fire patter explaining the case towards the beginning, though Gish gets lapped by Anderson.
Wonderful to see Ellen Greene and Burt Reynolds! (as God?)

I don’t want to get *political* but with headliners like this selling out large venues I’m afraid my town is full of dorks.

An all-time great X-Files (in season nine?) and it’s surreal that it takes place at my (fictionalized) high school. How did I not know this?
They finally give Doggett and Reyes enough to do and have solid guests in Erick Avari, Michael Wiseman, Jane Lynch and the kids.

The best part of the new Frankenstein was seeing Mia Goth given endless, breathtaking costumes, then for Oscar Isaac del Toro basically got bored and said, “Just make him Ebeneezer Goode.”

Ugh, went looking for that Ursula K. Le Guin/divine right of kings quote and discovered this was the first line of her speech:

Decent finale to a solid season, even if no one is all that concerned about alien doppelgangers or military supersoldiers.
This is a good place to leave Mulder and Scully but we all know that won’t happen!

One of the rare later X-Files episodes I saw first run. Always love seeing Zach Grenier!
This show now has to juggle too many characters so it’s good Agent Harrison is a one-off. She asks smart questions about the X-Files movie!

Going to start complimenting people’s backsides by nodding at them and saying “Gourmet buns; *classic*...” I’ll let you know how it goes.
