Bathia_Mapes: RexTalionis: Boy, there's an obscure X-Files reference.

"War of the Coprophages" is one of the few X-Files episodes I had trouble finishing. Cockroaches creep me out big time.

Did you make it to the, um, "crawl"?

/one of the top 5 episodes

Steampunk, this is.

Wow.

You go, subby. Did not think I'd see that name referenced anytime soon.

Approves

So we're all set to locate the stones, then, right?

/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHH!

RexTalionis: Boy, there's an obscure X-Files reference.

I thought the head could refer to Dr. Berenbaum, a well known real entomologist, but her first name is May and she is not nicknamed Bambi. But the wiki article says the X-files character "Bambi" was named after "May" so I guess I'm sorta right.

// years ago I knew May.

That is EASILY one of the best one-off episodes of the show. The guy who wrote it did a number of The X Files best episodes.

It was a girly scream, wasn't it, Mulder?

They invented the Cybermat?

haha. i just watched that episode.

biofuel factory! awesome.

And this sort of reference is why I love Fark.

kronicfeld: Her name is Bambi?

Yeah. Both her parents were naturalists. Her theory is that UFOs are actually nocturnal insect swarms passing through electrical air fields.

AdolfOliverPanties: I had the biggest boner for Bobbie Phillips for so long, metaphorically speaking,.


that's correct Wendy, we ALL wear masks, metaphorically speaking

brantgoose: Great. Now they don't have to drag "C" cells around behind them.

I imagine an 8-roach team harnessed to a yoke pulling around the battery in a wagon and performing useful fetch tasks, like, say, bringing you a bagel with cream cheese, would be a pretty feasible application of that technology.

I, for one, welcome our new cyborg cockroach overlords.

Cockroaches are very clean creatures.

Most cockroaches have been known to actually wash themselves after being touched by humans.

Not sure about this claim, but the salt and oil in human skin damages chitin. Humans are actually really salty ... just ask subby's mom. (ba da bum).

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired: That is EASILY one of the best one-off episodes of the show. The guy who wrote it did a number of The X Files best episodes.

Oddly enough, the writer who wrote this episode has stated previously that it's one of his least favorites, or even least favorite over all. Which yeah, is odd only because it appears to be a fan favorite. I'm not even a huge x-files nerd and I knew what it was...

The alien teen that sucked brains out, the luckiest man every, the African guy that folded himself into corners, the twins that murdered their parents, the guy that could see the future, the comic book frankenstein comedy.

I miss the X-Files.

Darin Morgan wrote the best X-Files episodes.

War of the Coprophages
Jose Chung's "From Outer Space"
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
Humbug

He also did some of the best episodes of "Millenium" including a sequel to Jose Chung. He also played "Flukie" in "The Host" and he also appeared in "Small Potatoes" written by Vince Gilligan

Vince Gilligan did the next best episodes, including some done in homage to Darin Morgan.

Sort of an incestuous writer's circle.

/not referring to the Peacocks
//really miss the XF
///which ended in the eight season god damnit!

they are really going to town with this cockroach robot thing, arent they?

it's like a... cockrobot. WAIT NO

rooftop235: Steampunk, this is.

No, not particularly.
The case could easily be made for cyberpunk, however.
