El Mundo Gira

Being fluent in Spanish I got right away this episode would have something to do with soap operas ("(As) The world turns"). With this expectation in hand then, I took the over-the-top acting as part of the episode. But I must say the acting from the Hispanic actors outside of Ruben Blades really bothered me. Casting here I think was terrible. I know there must be Hispanic actors who are more fluent in Spanish than these people were, certainly one's who didn't speak Spanish with such terrible English accents...I mean I'm fluent and I had to read the subtitles to understand what they were saying at times. It was really distracting for me. I'm watching it again...wow the accents are terrible. Why?! Outside of this accent problem I thought the episode was entertaining, containing some of the elements that keeps me coming back for more of the show. The Mulder one liners, the subtle maybe sometimes unintended humor, the Mulder-Scully banter, the unexplained but remotely plausible phenomena. Just to be clear Ruben Blades was great here.
