Mulder and Scully in a Frankenstein black and white episode the best of The X-Files
27 June 2019
I love this episode really the best one in the fifth season. It is a diffrent monster episode about a monster who actually is a normal human being accused of a murder he never commited. It is up to Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) to investigate strange events in this episode. The episode is the first time in Black and White color. I was really surprised by this episode which I thought the villian Frankenstein would be a mean person but it surprised by a sympithizing a good hearted human being who did do nothing wrong.

I love Mulder and Scully in here love them. I love the songs playing from Cher, Mulder and Scully dancing on the end and they are happy.

It is a very memorable and distinctive (and uplifting) image. It captures a lot of the appeal of the fifth season in general and of The Post-Modern Prometheus in general - a sense of fun and playfulness that really celebrates the fact that The X-Files is at the peak of its popularity and success.

Another thing about the episode The Great Mutato was not the rapist! Particularly that shot of him dancing up the stairs - it's quite clear that he is just hanging around the house while his father (or grandfather) is impregnating the women. Great Mutato was innocent he did do nothing.

Really good Episode for The X-Files fans I am glad that david Duchovny loves this Episode.
