“Hungry”

This X-Files episode tells the story through the POV of the monster-of-the-week. Apparently both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson had movies to film and they had to film their scenes ahead of time.

So the episode focused on the character of Rob Roberts, played by Chad Donella. We discover early on that he is the monster, eating people’s brains, and we see him through most of the episode.

LOST’s Jacob, Mark Pellegrino, also guest starred as Derwood Spinks, a dirtbag employee of the fast food restaurant where Rob worked.

This was an interesting episode with a noted bit of humor going through the episode. It is a light episode, but a fun watch. It is not going to find its way onto any best of lists of the X-Files episodes, but it is watchable.
