“Red Museum”

“Excelsis Dei”

“Red Museum” was the episode that Chris Carter and David E. Kelley discussed a being a crossover with the CBS drama Picket Fences. Since The X-Files and Picket Fences were on different networks, the networks nixed the idea.

It turned into a different story, involving growth hormones. There is also a vegan religious group that gets targeted as suspects because of their oddness. This was another sheriff on the X-Files that was a big jerk.

The killer of Deep Throat, Crew Cut Man, was killed off screen in this episode, as he had arrived to try and help cover up what was going on with the tests that were being run.

In “Excelsis Dei” Mulder and Scully head to a private nursing home to investigate the claims of a nurse that she was raped by an invisible spirit. 

It was weird because in this episode, Mulder was really poo-pooing the idea of an invisible rapist at first and Scully was all in and trying to speculate possible ideas. It really felt backwards from a normal X-Files episode.

This episode winds up fairly unsatisfyingly and the whole bathroom filling with water thing made very little sense and seemed to be more laughable.
