3 the Limerick:
Some vampires out in LA
Have a blood fetish in their own way
In the sun burnt one got
And another's way hot
And assures us that Mulder's not gay.
This was the first attempt at a vampire episode. I love them both. Bad Blood is definitely more a favorite than this, but I love the element of vampirism that this brings more than that of Bad Blood. This episode is a lot darker and creepier and stays quite true to the Gothic feeling that most vampire stories have. I remember watching this and not really noticing that Scully was not in it. Mulder does a great job solo but it is definitely evident that he needs Scully to keep things straight sometimes. The poor reputation of this episode that I have seen usually has to do with the fact that Mulder has a thing for the vampire chick. This criticism, I find very annoying and inconsistent. How often do we see Scully falling for another dude? I mean yeah in The Jersey Devil she dumps the one guy to go off with Mulder to the Smithsonian at the end but then in Never Again she totally sleeps with Ed Jerse (hmm never made that connection before; JERSEY Devil/Ed JERSE) but she's Scully so its excusable right? But Mulder should never have a non-Scully moment. Every girl that he has a thing with other than Scully is an evil tramp. That's really how it comes out with all of them. Scully herself is quite hostile towards these characters. My opinion on this is of course that everyone is human and I believe it was necessary to have both characters have other relationships while working together. They didn't really fall in love until around season 6 or 7 so anything before that is pretty much fair game. Shippers, seasons 6-9 go to you. Leave seasons 1-5 to us that could care less. 8 out of 10 on the episode for me.
