Monday

This episode feels like a fever dream, it is a 40 min nightmare of terrible repetition of a bad plot, over and over again is the same story with a slightly different part to it. I came on here to see If anyone else got a headache from watching it but I was shocked to find that most users liked it. It was somewhat unbearable to watch and it will forever be in my nightmares.

Mulder wakes up, to a busted waterbed, and a routine day is disturbed by a young woman, who warns him not to go into The Bank.

After the slightly comical start, the episode takes quite a serious turn, it becomes one of the most memorable, and in truth, one of the best I've seen so far.

As has been mentioned in other reviews, it definitely has a Groundbreaking Day vibe to it, but if course it's given an X Files twist. What I really enjoyed, was the fact that events aren't explained or explored, they just are, the situation is intriguing, it's a nice change up.

I think we're all aware of where that waterbed came from, there is no way that Mulder would have treated himself to one of those, they're great though.

10/10.

The ridiculous take on Groundhog Day is an insult to the loyal cadre of followers of the show since its inception. The mythology of this show, aliens and the supernatural, is what makes it interesting. This episode rates right next to the mutant-incest show and the one where Mulder exchanges bodies with another agent...

This is one of the greats. I love the way it was filmed, excellent for a TV show back in the 90's. The deja-vu sequences were awesome. This is the X-Files take on the concept of the Bill Murray film "Groundhog day", which is a very good movie everyone should watch. Gillian Anderson's acting is as good as always and the guest stars where great too. This is between my top ten episodes ever. It is simply great television. I have had my own deja-vu experiences and they're really creepy and make you feel uneasy and unreal. A very nice paranormal theme played out to perfection.

See you Monday...

I always love seeing the Groundhog Day trope as an episode in a TV series
