Sherlock

I like this idea that a super-secret human experimentation project had T-shirts. With the name of the project. And its location.

Dear Sherlock, if you're going to do the full-on X-Files, get bigger flashlights.

Hey, I fully buy that a secret chemical weapons project run out of Indiana would make commemorative shirts ("come on, my buddy Earl owns a print shop! We should totally make this happen!") because people do ill-advised shit like that all the time. But my question is: if you decided to pick up the research in a different country years later, and possibly commit murder over it, why would you wear that shirt at the time? Especially when it's so incongruous to the rest of your wardrobe! That just makes you That Guy, who wears the band's t-shirt at the concert. Super weak move, dude.

Haha, right? They needed some full on Maglites up in that bitch. It's a light and a weapon!

Oh, if only they could've argued over who was Mulder and who was Scully!

I find the t-shirt thing entirely believable. Like a Mason's handshake!

Loved this episode.

Hiding in plain sight? No?

I'm sorry, that's SO LUDICROUS it just swamps everything else I have to say about the episode.

Clearly Sherlock is Scully--he doesn't want to believe!

X-Files had those industrial-sized headlight-like flashlights. These were penlights. Having walked through the woods at night with a flashlight, those aren't big enough to keep you from tripping over tree roots.

(Also, I totally rewatched "Wetwired" this morning. I was feeling nostalgic for classic government conspiracy sci fi horror.)

I suppose I should have put a parenthetical that said "read: facetious" :-P I wasn't actually being serious about that....

You'd be amazed what people make t-shirts or commemorative team/group tat for. Stuff they literally cannot take out of the office and they violated NDAs simply by having made at a vendor.
