My particular favorite scene is where Mulder turns into watching black and white slapstick while milking vodka and cheap OJ. I love how this episode brings our mature, adult, intelligent agents into bickering, jealous, immature. Very sad things happen, lives are ruined, terror reigns throughout a town, but Mulder making fun of Scully's height is classic. Syzygy is awesome and unique not just because of its very difficult pronunciation, but it's one of those very dark episodes that still makes you laugh. People thinks it's witchcraft or demons, but it's really just our planet.

Even while labeled as unoriginal, Rahat points out this episode hooks the audience even though everyone knows the ending to Groundhog Day.Ī small town has two jealous teenage girls with the same birthday, and the stars and planets are all aligning to make things go bonkers, and for teenage boys to die. Many XPhiles push their nose up at any episode past season 5, thus based on ratings alone this episode is underrated. So while he also sees it's worthiness as one of the best, him and I are in the minority. ~ So Rahat has Monday on his top 15 episodes list, at #14. "Monday" is one of those very clever episodes where the idea behind the story is fascinating enough to render you curious and impatient, thus baiting you completely into watching until the end. X Acting: OK Scully did really well looking bored. X Special Effects: Great I always like real explosions Plus, this episode if filled with funny, clever tidbits, which I always enjoy.

And I would have been very disappointed if the series did not address this phenomenon. So this episode is actually an "homage to", and not a "copy cat". However, Carter and Company actually took this idea from an old Twilight Zone episode, not the Murray classic. Many don't give this episode credit because it's obvious borrowing of a storyline. Finally after many many tries, Mulder goes off the board and tweaks the ending to correctly move onto Tuesday. Mulder finds himself with a leaky water bed, late for a meeting, and then in a bank hold up which ends in his death. The Groundhogs Day-esque story of repeating the same day over and over until the right things unfold correctly. X Special Effects: Zombie makeup is legit.

But Scully realizes the truth herself just before Mulder is Zombiefied. Soon Mulder finds himself ranting an raving a la Gary, and he is committed. The case unfolds as the agents discover there may be some merit to Gary's claims. No one believes him, until Mulder sees a glimpse of the monster himself. They are however definitely worth watching again and again, and are just about as enjoyable as my Top Ten.Ī middle-aged man named Gary holds his entire office hostage as he claims a monster is turning his co-workers into zombies. These are episodes not critically acclaimed at the time, and not given Emmy after Emmy. I don't wish to speak my age between this 1993-2002 era all I know is my most recent viewing of the mentioned episodes is post 2011.

No, all I have, and all you have, is our memories. What is "underrated"? Nobody watched it? Nobody raved about it? How would I even measure those things? I don't have the 1993-2002 Data Collector of Television Series.
