My favorite part of the Kersh scene is that Mulder and Scully answer everything he says with a question. They give him NOTHING. Not only is it hilarious, but it shows they have Skinner's back!
As always, it's fun listening to you. Especially the part about Kersh and your joy at his performance. For that reason alone, I'd do a rewatch of the episode.And I can hardly believe Jenn didn't know about their joint appearance at the SAGs.
I rewatched the whole series last year, and I don’t think we knew Skinner’s middle name beyond the initial (which was always prominently displayed on his desk).
Also, if anyone has a link to that deleted scene in the car, I’d love to see it!
We did! It was Sergei! We saw it on a piece of paperwork at one point... I'm pretty sure the summons he and Scully were served to appear before Congress in Tunguska/Terma.
Thanks for highlighting the callback to One Breath! It's my fave Skinner scene, and I absolutely love that it comes up in Kitten. His words to Mulder then, and his final monologue here connect so beautifully!
I can’t say I liked it much since I am not a fan of Skinner centric episodes, but he definitely deserved his own episode (since he’s now in the opening credits 😊)
I really like the fact they stayed true to a previous story told by Skinner years ago, that’s something I picked on step away and really appreciated, especially as it was quite a few seasons back. And yes, Skinner’s second name came a bit as a surprise to me too, and the fact Scully knows it 😄
By the way, I can’t believe you’ve only mentioned now about David & Gillian at the SAGs 🤣 Especially Jenn who didn’t know about it! 😂 I was so hoping this would be the sign of something new with XF (a bit like they did with Devil wears Prada) but so far no news at all 🙁
