This episode has so many wasted opportunities. Why is there no scene where Scully is making out with a dude and then he turns into a lady? Why even do a gender-switch episode if you don’t put in stuff like that?
I tried so hard to make a Rumspringa joke here, but it just wasn’t happening.
Great strip, but the funniest bit is the demented grin on the corpse in panel 1 😀
I am loving these capsule retellings of the X-Files! I hope you don’t give up after Season 3 like I did. Anyway, I’m grateful this episode didn’t have Scully accidentally kiss a woman, because I’ve never been able to go the distance with any show that stoops to having all the women end up kissing each other.
No boning the X-Files until season 4.
I got a question! Why does every crime show send women to the Amish? I know the real reason of course because it’s hard to scream that a man is the whore of bablyon without laughing but still…
It weirded me out when I saw the rerun of this one and recognized Krycek. I pondered the possible conspiracies for weeks before I realized it was possible that Nicholas Lea Might have just been cast in a bit part long before Krycek’s character was ever concieved
The fact that nobody ever speaks of the sex-swapping crop-circle Amish aliens again is pretty good proof that The X-Files never intended to tie up its loose ends. It would have taken minimal effort to make the Mighty Morphin’ Bounty Hunter related to them, but nobody bothered, because why bother?
The last panel!!! Scully in the last panel!
BWAHAHAHAHA
Oh, the first two panels had me laughing out loud. Spring of drowned Amish. Heh. Heh-heh. I’m still chortling. Brilliant, and yet now I wonder why no one else has ever done that joke for this ep.
I also think this ep wasted a lot of opportunities but I guess we are second guessing ourselves… I mean that was like.. What? 20 years ago? X files was already introducing a lot of changes so maybe TV was not ready yet. Of course if that were to happen today everybody would scream MURDER! And whine all over the internet and every social site that they left half a dozen stories hanging… And even threaten the writers :-S (hate that!)
I laughed a lot about the “That is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen!” “Are you blind I’m right here” Mainly because I used to have such a crush on Mr. Duchovny LOL!
Panel 5: is that Twilight sparkle or shojo manga sparkle? Or both?
Hahahahahahha, “Scully investigates tonsils”! “I’m *right here*!” I laughed so much!
You have managed to make this even worse than the original. I do hope this is deliberate.
Heh. Panel 8 makes it look like Scully is making out with Cousin It.
BTW, I absolutely love this strip. Best comic ever.
