Tonight I first watched “Bad Blood,” Season 5, Episode 12 of “The X-Files,” written by none other than Vince Gilligan. The case is revisited from Mulder and Scully’s differing perspectives in a “Rashomon”-style structure. It even offers a fresh take on vampires. Gilligan’s signature comedic humor is on full display as well. A masterpiece! 🦇 Then I followed it with “Drive,” Season 6, Episode 2, also written by Vince Gilligan and featuring a guest appearance by Bryan Cranston. Mulder goes on the run with a man who claims that “if he slows down, his head will explode,” in a chase that brings to mind “The Bullet Train” and “Speed.” Meanwhile, Scully investigates the truth on the ground. You can already see that Gilligan was a genius even back then. No one else could come up with a plot like this. Incredible. 🚗
