It was based on Rocky Dennis’s story https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_L._Dennis


And can I put in a vote for Jose Chung's From Outer Space next?

That's a great idea
I'd be on board!

ETA Read the wiki entry. Wow, what that family has been through!

Sure, I am always in.

The Drosophila mutant with legs growing out of the mouth is called proboscipedia (pb):



This one is actually not that famous.

ANother mutant, where legs grow out of the fly's antennae (that they usually use for smelling an hearing) is much more famous. Of course this one's called antennapedia (antp). Here shown in the middle (and the double mutant on the right!)....Science is awesome.

as soon as we start a rewatch, my Netflix appears to have taken off the X-Files and I have no way of watching it that I know of

Good thing I have a good memory but only have certain epsidoes unless I remind myself!

And I was so in the mood to watch it yesterday!

Roseanne Barr would have been way too distracting in this Little Black and white world of bizarre-ness!

One of my favorite parts is Scully Reading the letter to Mulder in the car at the beginning. it’s jusr how she reads it in her dry way, while glancing at Mulder like “you can’t be serious”.

All I can see is J. Peterman from Seinfeld.

Love the black and white, makes M&S look glamorous!

Best part is the moment they drive and look at each other when the other looks away and the end dance scene.

GA told a funny anecdote about how the director was trying to instruct the extras to sway their hands together back and forth cause there really was no music to dance to.

Netflix is annoying this way.

I am a big fan of the Schwarzenegger movie 'Commando' (long story...). They use to tak it off an on for a long time too....

Hang on there!

Their back and forth was absolutely classic in this episode

Netflix doesn't have it here. Amazone Prime does though.

Stewie Thanks for your educational and scary post

New week, new episode!

This week will be season 3’s Jose Chung's From Outer Space!

(I’ll be in Hawaii from the 16-24, so not sure how often I’ll be here to change it the next week, unless you guys want to decide on an episode after this one!)

I like how Scully was kind of a fangirl at the beginning with the author of the book,

It was also really funny when she was embarrassed about the alien autopsy tape in front of him

So many good lines like the one with the nerd guy who described M&S as some men in black, Mulder being an Mandroid and Scully not fooling anyone with her hair being too red

Then the guy throwing up, learning the alien was just a dead human being

Those are my stand out moments of amusement
