This week we are picking up some black oil on our diving expedition while we discuss “Piper Maru”! We’re talking the introduction of the black oil, Hot Cousteau, the infinite doors leading into Skinner’s office, whether stealing mail is an intergalactic crime, and Mulder and Krycek’s embarrassing rough-housing. We track Gillian Anderson’s warmth towards her castmates on a scale from cockroaches to trees, get disgusted about the disrespect for Skinner’s lunch hour, laugh at Mulder’s high school French skills, and adore the not-dorky-at-all yellow diving suit. Chris Carter’s silence on Das Boot is deafening.
