Talk:Blood (The X-Files)

A.V. Club ranking
I am going to undo a change that was made regarding the GA review, which misinterpreted the A.V. Club review. Based on reading the other reviews on the site, the "good" review is not just in comparison with "Little Green Men" and "The Host", but rather an assessment with it as an episode of The X-Files. The rankings are used as a guide to the show: "essential" for the episodes that are critical to understand the story-arc, "good" for the better stand-alone episodes, "the rest" for average stand-alones, and "bad" for the ones best skipped. Just because "Little Green Men" was listed as "essential" does not mean it is a notch above "Blood" or "The Host", or a notch under; it is just part of the story arc. For example, see "One Breath", which was "essential" although the reviewer had some things to criticize about it. Glimmer721 talk  21:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I get the feeling that rating system is why they went with letter grades after a while, but your explanation makes sense to me. Go for it. GRAPPLE   X  22:00, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Handlen said he gave up the grades initally because they seemed "needlessly restrictive" and he didn't feel like he did a good job (the grades are a typical fixture of A.V. Club reviews). I see his point; it's easier to group things into categories instead of rating them more specifically where they can easily be compared to each other. Glimmer721  talk  22:12, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Sequence of images Funsch sees on the TV sets
Funsch [...] sees several violent images - including [...] the LAPD beating of Rodney King [...], [...] - flash across a sales display of TV sets

This is definitely not the beating of Rodney King, which was filmed from a much larger distance, and the clothes of the victims do not match.

 * I just went ahead and removed that whole clause, given that it's not really needed. "Violent images" should suffice to give the reader an understanding of what's going on.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 16:51, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Wrong Plot for this Episode
Hello, I'm new here sk my editing skills aren't good enough yet to feel confident to edit the plot of this episode's wiki. This episode take place in Los Angeles and is about blood drinkers. It stars Perry Reeves who at the time was in a relationship with David Duchovney in real life. Scully isn't in this episode as she is still SPOILER ALERT missing. I'm watching the episode now.
