Just in time for the World Series, Michaela and Ed discuss an episode which posits that loving baseball is the one thing that makes someone truly human, even if they're an alien.

Michaela and Ed have one of their biggest disagreements in a while.

Mulder is still trapped in another man's body and The X-Files continues to find fun ways to mess with him. Michaela and Ed round out this very entertaining two-parter, and also find time to talk about their recent trip to London, DIY and waterbeds.

Michaela explains how heat delays trains, Ed explains the disgrace of Gijón, and then we discuss the small but perfectly formed cast in this episode, that mashes up Christmas and Halloween for a bit of apparition fun.

It's a real testament to The X-Files writers' command of tone at this point in the show's run that they manage to craft a very entertaining and at times moving episode out of a story which involves a frankly excessive amount of child death. Michaela and Ed talk about that, as well as guest star Bruce Campbell's excellent work as the episode's monster, the best things about America, and some '90s bands with Scottish singers.

The X-Files finally starts wrapping things up with The Syndicate by having a lot of people talk about how they are wrapping things up with The Syndicate. Michaela and Ed struggle through a very exposition-heavy episode, but also chat about birthdays, camping and Joan of Arc.

Michaela and Ed share stories of controlled explosions, and this episode, which closes the original Mythology Arc. Neatly?
