Ah, the Night Stalker! Yes!! Super!! / Yknow, The X-Files "stand-alone episodes", the ones disconnected from the Alien-Human Conspiracy, consciously drew upon it. Every week, without fail, Darin McGavin (sp?) as Carl Kolschak (sp??) encountered impossible inconceivable inexplicable monsters of one sort or another; and, bumblingly, defeated them! While Chicago placidly went about its business! or immediately recovered from the Horror, anyway. Until next week. / Exactly like Mulder & Scully in the stand-alone episodes. / Now I grant you, Kolschak was no Scully, Senator. No comparison. Eyes, hair...ahem but I digress. (Hmph? Nyaah to hell with Mulder, the nerd.) But Darin McGavin did appear in a couple X-Files episodes, as a retired FBI paranormal-investigator. It was an acknowledgment & tribute. / Geez aren'y you glad you asked? :)
