5.0 out of 5 stars Monsters in Doggettville, March 13, 2011
By 
TastyBabySyndrome "Matthew Lewis, author of M... ("Daddy Dagon's Daycare" - Proud Sponsor of the Little Tendril Baseball Team, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The X-Files Season 8 (Amazon Instant Video)
Scully and Doggett get to work on a case that has all the trappings of oddity in motion. First there is a murder and then there is the scene and the things that are left behind. Of all of those are the trappings that look like the signs of some type of animal feeding, only an animal doesn't have a stride that tops that of a man and it doesn't ake off sets of fingers of leaves marks in wooden beams like something hanging upside down.

This is one of the first Doggett episodes involving something monstrous, and it is one of the best ones that I had seen in quite some time. The thing in the story has the impact that it is supposed to have and more, with the way it is set up looking so much like a terror. The storyline also combines in a way that seems amazing, with the clues coming together with an amazing explanation and making this out to be something that is better than it sounds. Then there are the effects, with pieces of it being protesthetic and pieces being animated and some simply amounting to the way a person manages their positioning.

I personally liked this season and I personally liked the season afterit. There is still a Mulder presence here and a mixture of other agents, and skully pics up some of the slack with the explanations coming out of her. This shows just how much she has come to see, and how much she is fixed in the Mulder rationale. Combine that with Doggett, who has a backstory of pain and of loss, and you have something to look forward to.

In a world without X-Files, this amounts to something grand.
