Review of The Rain King

The X-Files: The Rain King (1999)
Season 6, Episode 8
10/10
Classic Light-Hearted X-Files Love Triangle !
26 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Mulder and Scully travel to Kroner Kansas, to investigate manufactured weather phenomena.TV Meteorologist Holman Hardt(David Mannis) is in love with Sheila Fontaine(Victoria Jackson), but his unrequited love is having drastic results on the community. Darryl Smootz , Holemans rival, is the new Rain King. He is a local weather for hire ne'er do well. Residents desperate for rain, hire Daryl to help stop the drought. Scully, more skeptical than ever, barely tolerates Mulders assertions, as to whom is really controlling the weather. Terrific sentimental romantic comedy is a Classic. Mulder and Scully swaying in sync to the High School Reunion music is a HOOT !

Not your average X-File, but it does touch the heart ! A must see for those looking for relief from the insanity of life.

Classic, great chemistry from the lead characters. Caveat ...Beware of Flying Hamburger !
