After the three heavy preceding episodes I found this one a welcome change in terms of pace and tone. The first comic episode I have enjoyed for quite some time. The X Files is at its best when it's creepy as hell and dramatic, this was neither but it served as a reminder that lighter, frivolous episodes have their place too. I loved those black and white opening sequences, they truly did capture the sixties horror vibe. Loaded with clever ideas, and the one part that resonated with me was Scully's refusal to eat that jelly, choosing instead to remember it fondly, then be disappointed, I'm sure we can all relate to that.
Out of left field definitely, but amusing and enjoyable. 8/10
