Take Philip K. Dick mix well with ice cream and nuts top with saccharine.
Coming off the heels of Season Three, the fourth season of The X-Files is a bit of a strange animal.

After the thrilling, cliffhanger ending to Season Two, A. and I were more than ready to get to the next developments in the series. Too bad we had a “Very Long Wait” ahead of us in the rental queue 1. It was worth the wait though. The writers for Season Three have found their stride […]
