2x10 "Red Museum"
This episode is confusing. There are so many plot elements and red herrings that when Scully says it's "kind of hard to tell the villains without a scorecard," you'd best believe her. But when I found out that "Red Museum" was originally intended to be a cross-over with the CBS series Picket Fences until the network vetoed the idea, it all made sense. This was a fast re-write, designed to clear all references to someone else's universe, which never quite gelled.
Writer: Chris Carter
Director: Win Phelps
Originally aired: December 9, 1994
Synopsis:
When several teenagers from a small town in Wisconsin are kidnapped and returned with the phrase "he is one" written on their backs, Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate.
Most Memorable Quote:
Scully: So, you started to tell me about walk-ins but I'm not sure if I grasped the finer points.
Mulder: Well, it, it's kind of a new age religion based on an old idea. That if you, uh, lose hope or despair and want to leave this mortal coil, you become open and vulnerable.
Scully: To inhabitation by a new spirit.
Mulder: A new enlightened spirit. According to the literature, Abe Lincoln was a walk-in. And Mikhail Gorbachev and Charles Colson, Nixon's advisor.
Scully: But not Nixon?
Mulder: No. Not even they want to claim Nixon.

There are a few stories at Gossamer. Of those I've read, I can recommend "Camera Lucida 01 - Latency" by tree and "Camera Obscura 01 - Latency" by A. Kelley Nolan

I love reviews. When I first had regular access to the Internet among the first things I read were Autumn Tysko's reviews. I read A.V. Club's stuff and love to find sites previously unknown to me. And if I knew that tidbit about an XF / "Picket Fences" crossover, I'd long forgotten it.
If anyone gets "Chiller" (basic cable, sister to SciFi), they've been running XF from the beginning though it seems to be on hiatus for horror month, aka October. I hope they pick it back up again -- they've pulled this before.
When I started re-watching again I found the comment about walk-ins interesting. And then they are never mentioned again until S7, in a slightly different context.

I don't think we get Chiller. But I have the entire series on DVD. And when it finally comes out on Bluray, I'll have that, too.

It's bizarre what Mulder is willing to countenance and what he dismisses out of hand. It's so...inconsistent.
