I finished Ghosts tonight finally. Since I like Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin, this episode is especially special. I think that by this time, Mulder is "hooked" on Scully and knows it. Scully is just not admitting to herself (or us) how much she loves Mulder. I love the dialog at the end where they are crawling on the floor and then look at each other and run for the exit. They almost sound more like brother and sister than lovers in a couple of the exchanges. Actually it's how they say their lines that let's me know they are extremely close. That last scene through the window when they exchange gifts is a favorite of mine and goes on my computer desktop as a picture every Christmas.

SR819 was pretty intense I thought, as it showed us a reason for Skinner's actions later in the series. I still wish I knew who Krycek was really working for--the aliens as well as the consortium? He just had so much information on the alien invasion. I find hard to believe that the consortium would give him all that information--he was only a lackey in that group. I also have always wondered just what sort of leverage did CSM have over Skinner--what did he use to blackmail him, if that's what he did to control people?

When did Skinner get pulled off--didn't Kersch take over the Xfiles when he came into the picture? I never could figure out who the head honcho was after Blevins and those characters were killed off early in the series. Did we ever find out?
