Episode S1E23 - Roland; or, Mulder and Scully Solve a Very Cold Case
One brother is frozen in a tube. The other is having a very bad week at work.
This week, we’re covering The X-Files season 1, episode 23, “Roland,” as Mulder and Scully investigate an aerospace lab where professional jealousy has turned deadly. Join longtime fans Dash and Melz and Dash’s mom Angel, our resident first-time watcher, for killer wind tunnels, stolen research, and one dead (?) scientist with some extremely unresolved issues.
We talk about Željko Ivanek’s performance, Mulder’s gentler side, and why Roland and Tracy give this strange little murder mystery its heart. There’s also that final look in the mirror to debate, some excellent wordless acting to appreciate, and the question of whether “solved” means anything when you have to put it in an official report. Along the way, True Blood meets Blue Bloods, a Lexus receives a threat, and our cryogenics discussion somehow leads to Sinbad’s Shazaam and a man named Walter Grieselbeef.
No X-Files homework required. We recap the episode as we go, so pull up a chair and get into it with us.
