Conduit

The Case

A girl goes missing near lake boogiewoogie in Iowa, thanks to either aliens or some hells angels. Her little brother gets to hone his talent as a binary artist while she's gone. Mulder misses his sister... a lot.



This is what happens when a boy thinks about his sister while rasterbating.

The Evidence

So I totally just realized that Gillian Anderson was younger than I am now when she was filming these episodes. I feel old.

Why are they talking to this chick through the bookshelf at the public library? I mean, why don’t they just walk around to the other side of the stack?? Honestly, what they’re doing looks wayyyyy more suspicious than just having a nice little normal chit chat.

Oooh shirtless Mulder.

These agents really never get to see the inside of a holiday inn or anything do they? It’s always random sketchy motels. And always the ground floor too. I hate the ground floor… headlights shining in through your window, NSA agents busting through your door… seriously, how would the series have turned out differently if they had just written a couple of second floor rooms into the script.

I’ll be honest, I’m multitasking a little and I’m really not following a good chunk of the plot here… but oh, just look at how troubled Mulder is…

Lots of running through the foggy tropical forests of Iowa in this one. I didn’t realize that Vancouver had foggy tropical forests either…

Poor David Duchovny had a wicked case of razor burn in this one by the way. Either that or he’s a before picture in one of those proactiv infomercials. The makeup people did a good job, but something is still wonky…

Why is Mulder all weepy in a random church at the end? The weepy part I get… but random empty church??

Wait, did they really go two Iowa twice in the first four episodes? I just noticed that I wrote about Iowa in "Deep Throat" as well. I'm too lazy to go back and check (i.e. I have too many episodes on DVD to still watch), but didn't Chris Carter know that there are plenty of other non-descript mid-western states he could have chosen from?
