The X-Files Season 11: 10 Biggest Reveals From 'The Lost Art Of Forehead Sweat'

While the unedited clip of Mulder talking to "Reggie" on the phone was the perfect flashback, there are a number of others in The Lost Art of Forehead sweat. Each of these, like the modified opening credits, employs Reggie (actor Brian Huskey) being digitally inserted into footage from old episodes.

From a technical standpoint, the majority of these work surprisingly well. In some cases, the joke wears a little thing. And there was really no reason to have Reggie refer to Scully as "Sugartits" other than to troll feminists upset at the lack of female voices on the writing staff (an asinine argument, given the whole point of the revival was to get the old gang back together again, and given that old gang gave the world Dana Scully, one of the strongest female leads on television for much of the 90s). Getting back to what we really learned from these flashbacks, however, is what a trip it was to see Doug Hutchinson and Peter Boyle again.

Sure, you can go back and watch the episodes they appeared in, but seeing them in this context — highlight clips, really — reminds us of how good they were. Sadly, Boyle, who won an Emmy for his guest spot on the show, has passed on. And Hutchinson is better known for marrying teenage bombshell Courtney Stodden.

Yet both did incredible work on The X-Files, and were deservedly singled out here.
