Meet Jackson “William” Van de Kamp! #TheXFiles Ghouli might be problematic in the way it is part of a larger continuity, but as an episode it is very effective. Analysis of a flawed character, breakdown of a simlified mythology for the revival age, and general review of an episode that albeit good, if this really is the final season, does frustratingly little to advance the story! http://www.eatthecorn.com/2018/02/03/11×05-ghouli/

#TheXFiles Gabe Rotter’s first script does the job, but it is highly derivative of Blood and Sleepless and a repeat of every single previous Skinner-focused episode, along with that frustrating stand-alone/mythology divide. Competent directing, but overall a lack of energy. Also, I do have issues with chemtrails!

An in-depth look at ghouli.net, which might or might not be #TheXFiles canon, and what it tells us about Jackson/William’s life:
- Age 6, 2007: the tarantula incident, which results in him being experimented on, developing mental powers and telekinesis; a traumatic experience; his memory is either erased or he suppresses the memory because of the trauma, possibly both
- Age 7, 2008: developing a capability for remote viewing, first connection with “mother”/Scully
- Closer to 2017/2018: starts seeing This Man in dreams, feels that he can connect with others via dreams
- Has seizures with visions he cannot control, which result in him frequently visiting a hospital
- More and more specific dreams of the world ending, of a man-made viral disaster and aliens arriving; he connects with Scully by unwillingly sending her his visions, and senses that she is his biological mother (possibly this unlocks his childhood memories that he had compartmentalized or had had erased)
- Hospital doctors confirm there is something biologically peculiar about him (blood chimera: two genes expressed in a single body, hinting that William has more than two biological parents)
- William is contacted by a resistance group that could be constituted by a generation of children of William’s age that has some of the same mental powers as him, pointing him to Project Crossroads and to him learning about his nature
- William creates Ghouli as a way to deal with his confusion, mixing in it his self-hate, his alien nature and his arachnophobia since his childhood trauma; he creates ghouli.net
- William has a morbid attractiveness to death and the apocalypse; he realizes he is both a weapon and a cure to whatever inevitable future is coming.
- Armed with that knowledge, after the events of the episode Ghouli, he takes off to travel the country in search of more information about himself, those who created him and those that send him messages or visions.
In essence, ghouli.net does what the series should be doing more of instead of focusing too narrowly on the old show formula: character development. William combines a story of a troubled teen with superpowers and a concentrated version of the seasons 1-6 mythology — the Black Oil/Spartan virus apocalypse-by-design along with Gibson/Cassandra/William, the perfect alien/human hybrid that would bring protection to the chosen few of the Syndicate/elites.

We wish D.K.Scully a happy 54th birthday full of fancy autopsies and alien/human hybrid babies! #TheXFiles
