  ...with a sense of humor.
  
  Reminds me of one of my favorite episodes where they are in a town full of sideshow freaks.

  Back in the day they would include a few episodes that were peripheral to the main story line arc. Episode 3 would be one of those.

  Even if off-arc, the episode did qualify as an X-file. Monster content. However a monster with a twist. A large horned lizard that transforms into a human. Rather than a human that transforms into a monster. Opposite of a were-wolf. And who is to say which is the greater monster, the lizard or the human. Certainly humans are more dangerous....as is finally revealed by episode's end.

  I enjoyed the episode. The atmosphere seemed like out of a David Lynch production. The wierd motel with the peeping tom owner. And one of the trophy heads in a motel room was a jackalope. Weird and trippy.

  Scully having that sex scene with the lizard when he was in monster form (human). Which was, of course, a reverie within the mind of the monster and didn't really happen. Quite a turnabout for the Scully character. It did look like Gillian Anderson threw herself into that skit with some real gusto.

  The original series occasionally went off the tracks from dramatic to just plain silly. I actually enjoyed the episode last night. Not great scripting but just fun.

    Mulder played the sceptic; Scully the believer. The monster was only a monster when it was in human form (a point discussed in dialogue); Scully did a comedic faux sex scene, which she never even hinted at (best as I recall) in the original series.
    
    I guess this is not meant to break any new revealing ground; maybe just closure, going out in same fashion as before. The post-series movie doesn't seem to play into it.

      I guess this short series will need to be evaluated when finished. Will they set a theme and for the most part stick to it? Or, is this a rambling of ideas in Carter's warped mind?

        ...it seems structured like the original, series - a couple of "mythology" episodes, then an episode about a monster/alien/ghost/shapeshifter/etc.

          I was wondering which direction it would take. The first one threw me way off. The second was more of what I expected. The third leads me to agree with you.
