Content warning for 2Shy - stalking, emotional manipulation of womenWe continue the monster of the week portion of Season 3!The List is a killer ghost plot for whom the supernatural menace is less impressive than the one in Shadows. In one sense this is to heighten ambiguity of just how supernatural the episode is (until the ending sting anyway). In another, why Neech is bothering with smothering people with pillows when surely he can crush their throats from the inside?Kinda feels that maybe the episode would be better as a ghost POV thing. Still! The guest stars are good and the series got a set that got reused a bunch of times. And we get to talk about the discomforting working with insect larvae one of the actors had to do.2 Shy! Not just a song by Kajagoogoo (also I managed to mix up The Lion's Mouth with The Lion Sleeps Tonight (they were one after another on a cat-themed mix-tape in the 90s and I got the bands completely wrong). Kajagoogoo did not sing the latter) but the identity of a gross fat-eating vampire.Virgil Incanto has one of the least plausible X-Files' names to date (and Kim is on hand to explain why) and is a thoroughly unpleasant villain for the week. There is fun to be had in the shaky 90s notions of how the internet worked and the semi-justified naming of a sex worker as "Holly McClane".Support the show
