The Bloom Files | The X-Files Season 8 Episodes 14 & 15: “This Is Not Happening” & “Deadalive”

The truth is out there. In here? Who knows. But we’re opening up “The Bloom Files” to find out.

This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) welcome Fox Mulder officially back to The X-Files! “This Is Not Happening” and “Deadalive” involve a number of alien abductees returning in poor health. It’s a duo of episodes that introduce new faces–like Monica Reyes–and old, comatose faces, among them Mulder.

Next week “The Bloom Files” will be covering Season 8, Episodes 16 & 18, “Three Words” & “Vienen.” Write in your feedback for those episodes to xfiles@postshowrecaps.com or bloomfiles@postshowrecaps.com.

Married couple Mike and Angela Bloom travel to the FBI basement to crack open The X-Files. Every week, the two cover a single or group of episodes of the influential sci-fi series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, which Angela has seen many times, but Mike has never. They’ll bring their different perspectives to this first watch/rewatch of Mulder and Scully’s adventures as the podcast goes hopping through the show’s first nine seasons.
