• "And whispers, "You're in my web now / I've come to wrap you up tight 'til it's time to bite down" - Cursive, "The Recluse"

• "Jump the Shark" - a fairly decent episode, if only the lone gunmen didn't die in it!!!!!! that was a sad day. i actually got teary eyed when it happened.
• "Gender Bender" - kinda lame story. and the ending was dumb.
• "Leonard Betts" - eh. a man who eats cancer isn't all that great.
• most of season two (except "Humbug" which was one of the best).
• "Darkness Falls" - i like the environmental message, but the special effects for the killer bugs were lame.
• "3" - the vampire episode, featuring duchovny's then-real life gf, was weak in plot. oh wait, that belongs with the season two complaint.
• "Avatar" - skinner needed his own episode, but this one was didn't bring up anything new or drastic.

• Jose Chung's "From Outer Space" - Darin Morgan's best, and you can't go wrong with Charles Nelson Reilly. "Roswell.... ROSWELL!!"
• Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - another Darin Morgan classic, with the Stupendous Yappi!
• Home - the most gruesome episode. EVER. i still get freaked out watching this episode.
• Post-Modern Prometheus - black & white + Cher + DNA manipulation = good stuff.
• Beyond the Sea - Brad Dourif is a great actor in this episode.
• Squeeze / Tooms - freaky character, even freakier quirk.
• Humbug - the circus is fun again!
• Small Potatoes - poor Darin Morgan- he's the sap in this one. At least he wasn't dressed as a human-sized parasite this time (like in "Fluke).
