quagmire do not use to be one of my favorite episode until i begin to enjoy the humor of the x file more . i love this episode for the many in joke and the great mulder and scully dialogue . especially when they get strand on the rock near the end and their conversation run from cannibalism to moby dick to metaphor about mulder and a peg leg . one of the good in joke of the episode be the reappearance of the stoner kid from war of the coprophages . oh . no . another in joke which reference back to clyde bruckman final repose be that scully bring along the dog queequeg who she adopt when the original owner dy in that episode . unfortunately the dog meet it demise in this episode . interestingly both of these in joke reference back to episode write by the great comedy episode writer darrin morgan however this particular episode be not write by him . it be write by chris carter and kim newton . possibly a tribute to a good writer or perhaps he be involve with the story editing a he be with so many other episode . while not necessarily one of the good episode as far a creepiness or paranormal this be one of the funner episodes to watch . it be tame enough to use a an episode to break others in to the show . i give it a positive .
