My #1 Episode, 20 August 2009
10/10
Author: MulderManiac from Canada

"Bad Blood" is my absolute favourite stand-alone X-File episode. Watching the story being played out by first Scully's view and then Mulder's was original and funny. This episode pokes fun at the way each agent sees the case--always differing from the others point of view. It really displays the difference of views and opinions in Mulder and Scully's partnership.

Bad Blood is packed full of laughs and great one-liners, and the character of Lucius Hartwell (played by an amazing Luke Wilson!) is hilarious. I love Mulder's interaction with him. The storyline isn't bad either, but, really, what's not to love about the guv'meant peepuhl, vampires and big buck teeth? 10/10
