Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: During the first autopsy that Scully performs, we see the victim's body with the chest already open. Scully later says that she'll "begin with the Y-incision", but this has clearly already been done. more
Quotes:
Scully: Why would a real vampire need fake fangs?
Mulder: Fangs are very rarely mentioned in the literature; they're more or less an invention of Bram Stoker's. I think you were right about this being a guy who's watched too many Dracula movies. It's just that he happens to be a real vampire.

Funniest X-File of them all!, 28 March 2006

Author: Muldernscully from Washington Terrace, Utah

The X-Files was most famously known as being a dark and scary television show. What casual observers of the show don't know is that the X-Files had an assortment of humorous episodes sprinkled in this monster-heavy series. These "humorous" episodes do not disappoint either. Bad Blood is arguably the best of this bunch. When Mulder kills a teenage boy who he mistakenly believed to be a vampire, he and Scully must explain their actions to Skinner, their superior. What ensues is a hilarious "he said/she said" account from Mulder and Scully, each explaining his/her version of the transpired events. You won't stop laughing after seeing Mulder and Scully give completely different "versions" of the exact same event. As Mulder tells Skinner at the end of the episode, "That is... essentially... exactly the way it happened." If you're ready for a light-hearted episode with plenty of dark humor, Bad Blood is a must-see.
