I know Robert Downey Jr. says you should never go full Benjamin Button, but I’m always disappointed when backwards-aging shows don’t end with the person turning into a baby and disappearing. A 40-year-old turning into a 20-year-old just doesn’t do it for me.

40 to 20 == Actor with 20 years in the union replaced by actor with a wet ink on his union card.
Man, will I be happy when Ed gets back!
tune: “Red Solo Cup,” Toby Keith, 2011
Now this case with Fox Mulder is pretty typical
The crime involves facts quite inexplicable
Plus some grotesque oddity that is physical
In this case, a salamander hand
Even for an X File, this one’s kind of crazy
If he grows younger, why isn’t he a baby?
And a salamander hand? The writers got lazy
I’ll have to watch my own ass
Bullet-proof vest, next to my chest
Eat Kevlar, bitches! (Eat Kevlar, bitches!)
And in my bullet-proof vest, breasts are repressed
It kinda itches! (But it beats stitches!)
Oh Kay, don’t be like that. We LOVE your filks!
Filking when inspiration strikes is a lot different from filking every day. I’m even more impressed with Ed.
Although, I have to say, when I read “HA! Kevlar, bitches!” this filk popped into my head almost fully written. Sometimes, a great line is all you need.
Wasn’t there a Voyager where Kes’s local time had been reversed and at one point it showed her as an embryo and then a zygote and then she almost didn’t exist at all?
I don’t remember this one but this strip was SO worth it for the cootie catcher reference. Did Mulder give him a number and a color?
Heh, also, poor judge. Mulder can’t even remember what he/she looked like.
quit giving convicts superpowers?! LUKE CAGE!
For about the first third of the episode, Mulder carries around a piece of evidence (in a protective plastic bag) all over the place, including to a football game. Whenever I see that sort of casual treatment of evidence in a TV show it makes me happy.
