The X-Files S3 E19

Spoilers

“Hell Money”

The X-Files head into the world of Chinese culture with a odd game played that is involved with harvesting body parts for money.

There are some creepy people in scary masks, but not much for paranormal activity. There was some talk about ghosts, but it felt more like an idea shoehorned into the story to involve Mulder and Scully.

The setting was Chinatown in San Francisco and you could see many of the typical Chinese stereotypes.

So much so that we see James Hong, an actor who has been in countless films and TV shows over the years. He even received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

B.D. Wong as corrupt detective Glen Chao was one of the more interesting characters on the show. Mulder and Scully did seem like arrogant outsiders.

Overall, this was not my most favorite episode, but it was fine.
