Moose: Ok folks, M&S have finally finished our load of summer missions. Unlike some people, we traveled all over the Southwest, looking for the truth. We found Cancerman's Offspring, and a Long Haired TLG guy, but that's a story for the funny pages. Squirrel: I kind of thought the summer would never end - I'm going through major X-Files withdrawl! M: On to the reviews! We all love the X-Files because it's a serious study of the dark natures of our government and ourselves, right? Another theory fired out the air lock. Go to The X-Files In-Jokes List and see how funny our favorite show really is! S: This site has a catchy splash page with really engaging graphics. M: Clean, easy links and updated on a very regular basis, it also has scads of funny bits. Bill Nye the Science Guy, a children's science show of all things, explains why Mulder and Scully keep plugging away at their search. S: I was particularly amused by the "Star Trek Deep Space Nine" tribble episode reference… M: Afraid of going to bed alone after watching the show? Be more afraid of going to the bathroom alone! S: Who knew that bathrooms were such pivotal plot points? M: And, a special bonus! While Moose has a certain fondness for a certain cartoon comedy show, it turns out that our favorite FBI agents make an appearance on Celebrity Deathmatch, the MTV Claymation program. All the details, and an X-Files photo you probably don't have are right here! S: I think there's a couple people don't have… M: Recommended! S: Very much recommended, just don't start paging through it at work, like I did. We don't want any of our readers to get canned from spending all their time on the internet! M: Speaking of time, X-Files fans, real X-Files fans sometimes show us how much time they have on their hands by doing web sites. The X-Files: Cancerman's Lungs is a great and creative example. This is a dark and brooding site, and its theme is always… true to itself. S: It is a little dark, and and might be hard to read, depending on your browser. But the colors all *fit* and besides it looks a little like smoke, actually… M: How does Cancerman deal with the truth? How about Ratboy? Skinner? Scully? Mulder? It's here. Of course, make sure you've got a Doctor available to help, because you've got to know your gross anatomy to work here! S: There's some good links in the Bronchial Tubes section; and by far the best part of that page is the well-worded intro. Much better than the usual "hey, here's some links". M: Some of the bits don't work (I was disappointed by the "Little Known Episodes" page. Some were amusing, but some fell flat) but it's a good solid site. S: I liked the Top Ten Lists… M: This may not be the kind of site loyal fans will flock to, which is a shame. It's a classic example of finding a core theme and maintaining it throughout the whole process. S: Absolutely. It's not always easy to pick something and stick with it, but this site does it admirably. Make sure you check it out! Well, that's it for this week.
