“Nothing Lasts Forever”

We have reached the penultimate episode of the X-Files series, and it was one of the grossest of the whole run.

Blood, internal organs, blenders… ugh, gross.

Eating these fresh organs and blood help keep a couple of cult leaders young and beautiful. Fiona Vroom played Barbara Beaumont, a former child star actress who is obsessed with her appearance. She was over 80 but looked as if she were 30+. It still would not be worth it with the gross looking substances that they would have to consume.

The episode added a religious aspect for Scully and Mulder, and they ended the episode with a really strong one on one conversation that was separate of the rest of the show. It felt as if this was kind of setting up the finale next episode.

Jere Burns was in this episode as a creepy doctor/part of the cult leader. He is a solid actor and he made the horrific stuff in this show make a lot of sense.

One more X-Files episode to go.
