The Creepy Thing

Content warning: Both episodes contain depictions and discussions of suicide. The Walk contains child death and Oubliette contains depictions of mental illness. Listener discretion is advised.And we're back.The Walk is basically Excelsis Dei version 2 but much less skin-crawlingly gross and with a more compelling villain. Who has way more scruples than the elderly patients in the former episode. Not above killing a load of people.We once again have some issues picking out character names but otherwise this is an effective monster of the week episode.Oubliette rambles into a discussion about Jack the Ripper at one point. If there is a simple note about the episode its that it should be a little longer. Not a two parter, but the episode feels a tad rushed as is.I had been anticipating this episode as a huge Scully Killed Another One with Bad First Aid, but it turned out to be nowhere close to as bad as her prior stunts - and Kim will confirm its not a bad depicition of CPR. That said, there's a weird failure to help keep someone warm and Scully's apparent exasperation at the medical impossibility of drowning in river water in a car a mile away...Support the show
