A couple enjoying getting high in the woods, spot what they think is a werewolf attack on two guys, due to their state they're both unsure if what they've seen is real. A description of the monster is given, Mulder far from sceptical wonders if they're grey wolves. Investigations lead Mulder to a small Hotel, where the dubious Landlord spots a shape shifting monster.
The more serious tone of the opening two episodes is switched for this week's offering, a story which could have come out of a 1965 comic book, with some truly funny scenes and great dialogue. This episode is difficult to catalogue, to put into a genre as it spans so many.
The scene with Mulder, Scully and the trans-gender hooker was absolutely priceless, so funny. The man on the toilet too, just slick humour. The peeping Tom Hotel landlord perving on Mulder, too funny!
I utterly loved this episode, it had everything, scares, laughs, it felt like a show I would have stayed up extra late as a kid to watch for the scares, who doesn't enjoy a monster story.
I have to say Mr Duchovny is defying his 55 years, fair play to him, he's ageing very well. His X Files ring tone made me change my phone. Had to be done.
Well Impressed!!! Take it for what it is, as mad as a box of frogs. Just great fun to watch, truly fun.
