I Want To Rewatch

Other lighting options are available...  

One of Scully’s former students has just made detective and calls her and Mulder in to unofficially consult on a strange series of missing persons cases where all that’s left behind at the scenes is a black scorch mark. Mulder suspects spontaneous combustion, but it might be something even stranger...  

Like an obsession with Tony Shaloub?

What's this? What's this? 

There's pustules everywhere!

Mulder and Scully are brought in on a manhunt for escaped convicts, but once they arrive, they learn there’s some kind of viral outbreak at the prison - and the escaped men may be infected and spreading the contagion. Mulder works with the marshals to track the men down, while Scully tries to determine the nature of the outbreak.    

It’s probably just the flu...

After a toddler dies in a mysterious accident, Mulder thinks poltergeists are involved and Scully suspects Munchausen by Proxy. But as they investigate, more tragedy befalls the family and it appears something more sinister is at work.  

Oh sure, blame the left-handed people!

Along the 65th parallel...   

When survivors are found from a missing naval ship looking like they’ve aged fifty years in the span of a few hours, Mulder pulls out similar X-Files and thinks he’s found some kind of time warp in a northern Norwegian sea. Mulder and Scully find the missing naval ship but then get stranded aboard, and whatever made those sailors rapidly age is starting to do the same to them...  

Time warps, a ghost ship, bad make-up effects...  

How will they get out of this one?

Apparently the elephant isn’t in the room anymore.  

A construction worker is killed by what seems to be a rogue elephant except the witnesses didn’t see anything. But an elephant is found dead not far away. Mulder and Scully go to the local zoo that the elephant escaped from to try and piece together what’s happening: is it animal activists releasing the animals and causing mayhem or is something extraterrestrial going on?  

Aliens upgrading from cows?  

They’re gonna need a bigger ship.
