Just when I though that this silly, pointless and completely unbelievable "spooky" series found it's direction in "spoofs", it turns 180 around to "scary" music, "scary" scenes and "scary" camera angles. After the two wonderful episodes that poked great fun at 1950's science fiction and Teen slasher movies , it's back to ho-hum. Are we really supposed to believe that highly trained FBI forensic investigators somehow missed looking behind the charcoal drawings in the perp's digs? That only the great Mulder can glean such hidden mysteries? I guess I don't "get" it as some reviewers have stated. I was looking for entertainment, not a sedative. My Literature Professor would lecture on about themes and story line. I thought this had a theme and story line but it seems to be lost, AGAIN. Did Mulder just forget about his missing sister or his murdered father? How about Scully's murdered sister? Where is Mr. X? Where is the story line? Oh, wait a second, I've "got" it now. This is another spoof. It's having a go at "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Gargoyle-possessed humans strive to draw, sculpt or build the "perfect" gargoyle: "is this right?"..."Does this look right"? I dozed off and didn't finish so how did it end? Did gargoyle/humans trek to South Dakota to gaze lovingly up at a "miss-tear-ee-us" Lincoln-transformed-into-a-gargoyle (no, wait, he already looked like that. It must have been Jefferson) Mount Rushmore? Did they pair up, fall in love and move to Toronto, decorate every square inch of lawn, wall and flooring with Halloween stuff beginning in late August? Then replace everything with Christmas stuff on November 1st? Have two kids, a dog and live out the Canadian dream? Real sorry I missed that.
