Yeah, when they moved to film in CA, from BC, the atmosphere definitely felt too bright and sunny and no forests anymore..l what’s so spooky about sunshine and deserts?
I liked all those episodes mentioned.
Drive was suspenseful just wondering if they would make it and the guy would avoid the fate. And realistic ending!
I liked Dreamland, it was funny but also kind of sad, Scully was so confused by “Mulder” at first! And poor Mulder trying to interact positively with the kids, but doing it wrong, insulting the teenager about her nose
I loved the end of Triangle, homage to the end of the Wizard of Oz, the theme music in piano, and Mulder saying he loved Scully and her not taking him seriously cause he sounded drugged out.
