“Signs and Wonders”

Another religious centered episode of The X-Files, this time focusing on snakes as a symbol of the Devil.

This was really creepy, with some frightening moments with these rattlesnakes. I can’t imagine how uneasy someone who worked on the show that had a fear of snakes must have felt during the filming of this episode.

Apparently, David Duchovny was one of those. According to Wikipedia, Duchovny was said to be “not within blocks” of the scene where Mulder is attacked by a bunch of snakes. Thank god for stunt people, I guess.

There were some gross and scary imagery included in this episode. There was an insane scene featuring actress Tracy Middendorf who was pregnant and giving birth to snakes. Ugh.

This was another episode that I do not remember from season seven. There have been several of those so far and I wonder why I do not remember these. I must have watched them as I was big into X-Files by this point. One would think that some of the imagery of this episode would be difficult to forget.

I am not a fan of snakes so this one would not be an episode that I would revisit.
