Another thing that the move to L.A. brought to the X-Files is guest star power. Season six sees an influx of more famous guest stars such as Ed Asner and Michael McKean. Terms Of Endearment features Bruce Campbell, famous for his "Evil Dead" movies. Bruce does a good job, playing a demon who is trying to have a normal child. Now off of the x-files, Mulder must find other avenues of investigating x-files. This time, he pieces together a file that Agent Spender has disregarded and shredded. This episode has some creepy parts to it, particularly when the demon is harvesting the fetuses. I like how Mulder uses the term "devil" to show that he's onto Wayne. After Mulder figures out what Wayne is, he turns into Columbo, which is the highlight of the episode. Mulder follows Wayne around and pesters him, suspecting Wayne of leading a double life. Terms of Endearment is a good, solid x-file and has a nice little twist at the end, a feature not too common for the X-Files. No chainsaw is required to enjoy this one.
