My dear friend Natalia Castro calls in this week from Colombia and we talk about "Ghost in the Machine," which is a kind of X-Files techno thriller, with a familiar concept, familiar plot beats and familiar faces...even if we can't remember the names.

In any case, the episode on a whole is solid enough that it allowed Natalia and I to discuss its strengths, as well as the strengths of The X-Files as a whole. We also ponder an odd tendency by Fox to take a chance on "risky" sci-fi properties only to eventually abandon them mid stream.

X-Files fans are lucky that wasn't the case here.

It's a cool talk.

Dig in.
