Well, re-watching X-Files almost 17 years later doesn't help interpret "Canadianism." Having lived in So Cal almost my entire life (No Cal native) I have never heard the term "grache" or "grash" (phonetic spelling), the indiscernible term used by the "LAPD" detective when approaching the residence on Malibu Cyn Rd.
A minor detail but still frustrating and distracting when trying to follow the script, especially trying to decipher Canadian-speak 17 years later. Sure wish producers would use the money they save by hiring Canadian actors to give these people basic English tutorials.
Additionally, the lead detective is described as "Commander." No such title or position in LAPD detectives. Chris, if you're gonna' continue to make TV series for the U.S. market, sure hope you stop trying cut costs by hiring Canucks and use more U.S. actors so that we can spend more time trying to follow the plots instead of trying to decipher the script.
Other than those annoyances, this episode (7) was just as entertaining as all the others, well done (other than the linguistics barrier!).
