Dreamland II continues a good thing established in Dreamland. Things become a bit more serious as Mulder is desperate to return to his self. But not helping him is Morris Fletcher, who is relishing his life as Fox Mulder and an agent in the FBI. Morris, as Mulder, attempts to put the moves on Scully, and the outcome is hilarious. Mark Snow inserts some good comedic music in the scenes at Morris' home to set the tone for Mulder's predicament there. This episode is helped out with an appearance by the Lone Gunmen, who are now trying to learn Spanish for whatever reason. Their interaction with Morris Fletcher who looks like Mulder is very entertaining. He exposes the Lone Gunmen's exposés as stories made up by him while sitting on the pot. They don't like him a bit. And after all the lore and mystery surrounding Area 51, Mulder discovers that the military merely flies the UFOs there. General Wegman himself, even asks Mulder if aliens really exist. What a disappointing revelation for Mulder. I found it interesting that the guy who plays Howard, the co-worker of Morris who is trying to expose him as the leak, looks a lot like Jeffrey Spender, a rat as well in the FBI. Unfortunately, after all their efforts, the time warp snaps back and returns everything to how it was before, and all the participants don't remember a thing. But, it does set things up for future episodes that are quite funny. Dreamland II is a very fun conclusion to Dreamland, and they are a great two-parter overall.

This, and part one, are my very favorite episodes of the X-Files I have ever seen! It's classic X-Files, UFO's, government conspiracies, Area 51!! There's a "laugh-like-a-drunk-Daffy Duck" moment every two minutes, the Duck Soup parody, the switched Hopi woman and pilot, Scully's reaction to who she thinks is Mulder, Fletcher trying to woo her, Fletcher's reaction to Mulder and the Lone Gunmen, Mulder's reaction to Jo Ann and his coworkers, the realization of all the mix-ups are just a few of them(Hilarious one-liners funny enough for a laugh track ensue throughout all these!) Iswear, I have never in my life laughed so much in two hours as I did while watching this! If I tried to list all the kick-ass quotes in this episode I'd have a giant list.There are also truly touching and deep moments, such as the talk Mulder and Scully have when she tells him he may never get back, and Fletcher convincing Jo Ann that it's him. The direction, acting, music and the writing of this episode is simply exquisite. This is true classic X-Files, and a masterpiece. And what in the world can beat the bewildered look on Mulder's face at the end of part II?

This is a great follow-up to one of the other great episodes of the series. I really enjoy the teaser with Morris Fletcher voice over giving a biography of Mulder while we watch home-videos of Mulder as a child stomping on his Spock ear that won't stay on. Classic. From here we jump back to the final scene of the last episode with Mulder being taken away screaming "He's not me!" There are so many fun scenes to watch with different interactions like Mulder in the cage with grandma Top Gun driving each other crazy. Then Fletcher's feigned sense of sympathy when Scully gets suspended. I really like the scene in the general's office when Mulder gets off the hook because he gave Scully the wrong flight data recorder and he is completely clueless at first but then slowly starts to play along. I realized while watching that Mulder is better at pretending to be Fletcher than Fletcher is at pretending to be Mulder. Then all of the Scully and Fletcher scenes in Mulder's apartment are also great. I thought it was hilarious when Fletcher is telling Scully that she'll just have to get used to him being there because he doesn't know how to change it back and she tells him to contact his source and see if he knows and Fletcher tells her he doesn't know how to get a hold of him and she's just out of luck and then as soon as he finished saying that the phone rings and its the source. Such a great subtle touch of irony! I loved it. I also really enjoyed listening to Fletcher sing "Let's Get it On" in Japanese and Spanish with the special features on the DVD. Finally the entire scene at the little A'LE'INN with everyone hiding in the bathroom from different people and the same people is great. I think I liked this episode better than the first one but they both are great. I really think that stories and situations like this are what TV is all about even if they seem clichéd. I give it 10/10.

Dreamland part 1 and 2 are two of my most favorite episodes ever! This is a non-mythology two parter that proves to be one of the entire series finest. There is humor, creepiness and a handful of weirdly touching moments. Body switching is depicted perfectly. David Duchovny's acting in the comedy episodes is always hilarious, Gillian Anderson gets her moments too. If you want to have fun and laugh out loud every two seconds this is the episode for you. I have never had so much fun watching the X-Files. Inmensily enjoyable. And we finally get Area 51 featured in the show.Mulder: HE IS NOT ME!
