Also, all of the ooks are clearly just some guy grunting. They got an actual elephant to play the elephant, and it sure looks like they filmed a real tiger for a minute or two, but for the signing gorilla they ended up using a guy in a monkey suit. But so you can see the belugas the lights are all off, which makes the inevitable paperwork kinda useless.Īnd while I’m on the subject of complaints. The zoo itself has some funny structures too, namely that they have a conference room abbutting the beluga tank. I mean, if they can’t even manage to get babies out of the bat house, or the prairie dogs, that’s pretty serious. Sure, if aliens are harvesting embryos it makes more sense, but such a streak would have biologists coming from all over to study stuff. This is one of the most crazypants things I’ve heard from this show. So, a minor plot point here is that they have never managed to carry a pregnancy to term at this zoo. See my rant about ecoterrorists from the episode with the light bugs in the Olympic Forest. And of course, this is another one of those media inflation things. Of course he and the nice zookeeper have a history together. And there’s the dude who runs an organization that wants to break the animals out of captivity. There’s the old school cruel zookeeper who is all hardcore and such. There’s the beleaguered zookeeper who is trying to keep everything together, and who has a signing gorilla named Sophie. I still kinda wonder how a normal call to the cops about such a thing works it’s way to Mulder’s basement office. Admittedly, that’s a pretty good reason for Mulder and Scully to show up. So we start with an invisible elephant rampaging a bit, and eventually becoming visible and dying of exhaustion. Honestly, the invisibility thing sounds like a subplot from Axe Cop. But the invisibility eventually wears off, but nobody ever sees that happening. It looks like aliens are stealing animals from a zoo in Idaho, impregnating them, taking the embryo, making them invisible, and letting them loose on the streets. I’ll just go ahead and spoil what little reveal there is. In short, what we have here is ugly, not only in what happens, but in how it was presented. ![]() It also doesn’t help that the actual operation of the zoo was completely ridiculous too. ![]() Part of it is that I have issues with animal cruelty, part of it is that it seems like there was no point to anything that happened, and part of it was that a bunch of the animal effects were just stupid. ![]() Anyway, this wasn’t an episode that I enjoyed in any sense. Something came up, but don’t worry, I’m gonna keep plugging along here.
