Ghost In The Machine

The Case

Lesson #1: If you make a computer smart enough it will eventually try to kick your ass. Lesson #2: Cheaters never win and sometimes they die tragic elevator related deaths. Lesson #3: Any problem can be solved with enough gunfire - even a giant ventilation fan.


I'm sorry Mulder, I'm afraid I can't do that.

The Evidence

Okay so it’s HAL in building form meets a sort of Steve Jobs/Bill Gates amalgamation… or something like that.

The truth (gasp! The TRUTH!) is that I couldn’t care less about this episode. So Mulder’s got a poor ill-fated incompetent sneaky old partner. Who cares about these pathetic attempts at back stories… this hardly qualifies as a monster episode so get to the mythology ones already!

Well Deep Throat’s back and actually doing something useful… so that’s kind of cool I guess…. Eh, I’m still bored…

In the meantime, please enjoy this “outtake” from one of the elevator scenes:

PS This episode had absolutely nothing to do with René Descartes.
