The first time I watched the ep, I didn't know what it was going to be
about. I like to be as spoiler-free as possible; I try not to even watch
the little teaser commercials on Fox. I find that the less I know about an
episode before watching it, the more I enjoy it.
At any rate, the differences between this viewing and last were largely
based on my knowing what it was all about this time from the very beginning.
Things I got out of a repeat viewing that I didn't catch the first time:
the girl mouthing the words as her boyfriend gets out of the car and almost
runs into someone on the "first" Monday. The fact that the boring crap the
man drones in the meeting is *exactly* the same each time. I also got a
stronger sense of Mulder and the girl having a connection, of him being kind
of concerned for her/attracted to her (in a non-sexual way).
I was also increasingly aware of how strange it is that three F.B.I agents,
all warned that a bank robbery is about to occur, do jack squat. Especially
Scully, who just flatly refused to accept the "tip" from this girl even
though it was given to her face to face, by someone obviously distressed.
And why in the world would a broken ATM (I won't say "ATM Machine" like
Mulder did) be enough to persuade paranoid deja-vu-ing Mulder to go into the
bank when even his normally skeptical partner warned him against it??
But aside from finding these bewildering little points, I did find the
episode very absorbing the second time through, which was not the case with
last week's episode. I think the test of a truly good episode is how well
it stands up to repeat viewings. This one gets at least a B, in my book.
-R
*****The reason this triggered a deja-vu type sequence to Mulder is maybe he
remembered the 1st day during the robbery the robber first cleaned out the
teller drawers and then asked the lady behind the counter to come out with
the key to the ATM........so maybe he thought the robbery was to this point
already..........IMO
I FINALLY saw the LA City Hall in one pan shot!

Good old Wayne Alexander!
They call him "Older Agent" in the credits (his name is Agent Arnold).
He likes "our" moniker for him, "Agent Crime Projection," a lot better
than "Older Agent."
My God, Sean!!! I don't know if it's getting accepted into college or what,
but you've just been EXTRA-feisty lately... ;)
-R

This was a definite subtext to this episode--climaxing in Mulder's response to
her boyfriend in the bank, telling him that he was putting her through hell by
doing this.
The relationship/chemistry between Mulder and the girl reminded me very much of
Mulder & Lucy Householder in Oubliette--a tremendous ep that doesn't get as
much attention of some of the other older eps but consistently stands up to
many repeat viewings.

Well, I've got a bit of a fetish about tall spiky heels, but that's nothing
terribly unusual... also have a bigtime snake fetish... not snakeskin, but
actual real live snakes. I think they're the sexiest creatures alive.
Red hair also seriously turns me on. Real or fake; doesn't matter. Except
that fire-engine/burgundy red doesn't really do it... has to be a warm red
at least approximating the natural shades...

Yep. That's how to live the life of normal folk. I know that my
friends and I *frequently* dress up like errant Egyptians (or Romans
or Greeks or whatever the hell they were trying to be) and watch belly

Well, they do have belly dancing at my favorite Lebanese place to eat.

I thought it was interesting that ET preceded the Celine story with
the Mary K. Letourneau boy rape story. Celine was not much older
than the boy in the Mary K. story when her relationship with her
current husband went from professional to sexual.
So can I be St. Alia of the Knife and kill them both?
