The X-Files revival rolled onward on Monday night, this time going with a lighter, comedy themed episode. If you caught it, you experienced a treat. The third episode of 2016's X-Files revival, Mulder And Scully Meet The Were-Monster has been called an instant classic by some critics. Penned by writer and sometimes actor Darin Morgan (he was the guy in the Flukeman suit, as well as Eddie Van Blundht in the fourth season episode Small Potatoes), it was a return to the Bad Blood, The Goldberg Variation, and Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose style of episodes that stood out from the darker, more serious outings in the original run of the series. The type of episodes that perhaps the series invested in just a little too heavily towards the end of David Duchovny's full-time status with the show, but that were entertaining nonetheless. With only six episodes allotted for the current revival, it was something of a gamble to include a comedy outing that really had little to no bearing on the overall story arc of the season and series, but in this case, it was a gamble that absolutely paid off. Why? And what did we learn from Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster? Let's take a look.
