Even More Once a Thief

[jetpack_monkey]

So I just saw the episode called "The Director File".

From the title, I was expecting a fascinating look at more of how the Shadowy Government Agency (which, as far as I am concerned, is the actual name of said shadowy government agency) works. I did get that. Sort of.

Then the first five minutes happened and I'm like, "Oh, it's kind of an X-Files reference. Huh."

No. NO. NO.

This is not kind of an X-Files reference. The whole episode is an X-Files reference. The whole. damn. thing.

This show is on so many, many different varieties of crack.

Only four episodes left. This kind of makes me sad.

I about fell off my couch laughing and didn't stop for ten full minutes at the Spooky/Ratboy exchange.

And oh god, how much do I love Nathan as a recurring character? SO MUCH.

And awwww, you are at the point at which I started rationing my episodes so I would not run out as fast. Why only one season whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Nathan is adorable and has a great name.

I caught that fauxMulder called Vic something, but I didn't catch that it was Ratboy. AWESOME.

By the way -- TVTropes has no Once a Thief page. I've been thinking about fixing this.

That is one of the eps I always reference when I try to explain the show to people -- and remains one of my favorites eps of the series. Especially since I started watching it when it first aired because I was a huge XF and Krycek fan.

I spent most of the ep shrieking with laughter and clapping my hands with delight and waiting for the Krycek reference because I knew there had to be one. The "Don't call me Spooky, Ratboy" and Vic's reaction was just perfect.
