The Other, Other Avatar

Content warning - Animal Death in QuagmireThe first of this week's episodes doesn't involve war in Ba Sing Se. Or Unobtainium on other planets. Instead we get a weird hybrid monster of the week/conspiracy episode where the forces of the supernatural help Skinner in perhaps the least helpful way.This is Avatar apparently.We discuss the curious merits of framing Skinner and getting him fired after the attempted murder back in Piper Maru.Quagmire also seems to be an episode struggling with its premise; part lake monster story and part intense Mulder and Scully character relationship piece. Where Mulder completely flubs his empathy on numerous occasions.Still, at least Stoner and Chick are back.Support the show
