I cried the whole episode... from laughter))) Of course, every escaped convict from the Gulag (in the 90s, RSA) in the depths of the tundra... sorry - in the depths of the Siberian ores, he speaks English perfectly, if necessary. Comrade.
You are strange :) There were fewer cranberries here than I remember in any other American movie series. Russian russians were chosen for the role, and not as usual, Krajicek spoke with an accent, but he had to. The only thing is that a Russian spy grandfather should still know the language perfectly. For comparison, just recently released in DC's Legends of Tomorrow s01e04, that's where the cranberries are. And the fact that in the series with the secret rulers of the world hiding aliens, there is still a secret Gulag with experiments - so it goes without saying :)
@weazal: exactly the same facepalm is caused by two Russians speaking English to each other. Oh, that unique Slavic accent. do not forget that the series was filmed primarily for America, and most of the local population does not know Russian at all.
Well, not many people from the USA dream of moving and living in a two-bedroom apartment in Syzran (no offense to residents). And the level of filming of films and TV series is such that they can't even portray their own.
@eligio: Russian Russian is the main thing, the United States has a standard of quality in cinema and there are a sufficient number of directors who take on the role of Russians (I mean exactly when they speak Russian). It's called attention to detail and it raises the bar even more, which is nice to look at. Moreover, the X-Files is a very significant project.
@Scrain: you might be surprised, but English speakers don't give a shit about accents a little less than completely. For some reason, this is the only paddocks on this topic =3
How did Mulder get back from Russia anyway? and why could some grandfather, even a KGB officer, enter the NASA laboratory, where a piece of a meteorite and an infected scientist lie?
@North_Art: He doesn't have any worms! The Russians had a vaccine for black goo, and they tested it on prisoners. So when Mulder escaped, he was clean.
@baldarek: Well, about the vaccine only in episode 14 of season 5 it says ... it's a pity, it would be interesting to see the line of side effects of the black plague.
@Alina2007: either the severe Mulder immunity, or he was injected with a vaccine before / after the experiments, so the infection did not take root / eroded in a few hours of his shutdown.
The truck stolen by Mulder had the license plates of the 72nd region. Tyumen region. In principle, it is logical - the Krasnoyarsk Territory borders with it, but it will be a long way to both Tunguskas on wheels. Although the creators still respect: it's a small thing, but it's nice that they worked.
@Takumi: He asked to go to St. Petersburg. I don't know why he didn't go to Moscow, but it's quite obvious that once he got to the embassy, he could easily restore everything (though at the cost of the authorities finding out about his whereabouts). Or maybe he had friends there (some kind of CIA resident) or our high-ranking lady helped straighten out another fake document. It's true that it wouldn't have happened so fast, but let's put it down to being spectacular for a movie. Nothing is impossible.
Another series about Russians. Mulder stole the only Mercedes in Siberia, and it turned out to be without brakes. Apparently, the harsh Siberian men do not use brakes!)) Some Russian KGB ninja is quietly walking around America, infiltrating NASA's secret laboratories and killing everyone. And at the end of the series, a one-armed "Comrade Krajchik" comes to him;-D)))))
Too many events have been crammed into too short two series. What did they want with this stuff anyway? Why does it affect different people differently? What is the connection with smallpox vaccination? Is Mulder infected? They were going to chop off his hand-how did he get off?
Is it so easy to escape from the Gulag?Where are the turntables on the towers? Where are the trained dogs to search for a fugitive convict in the forest?!
@vk243837: I came to write the same thing! Ever since I learned to drive myself, every time in similar situations in the cinema, I've been facepalm. And most importantly, no one ever uses the engine when the brakes fail. Which is extremely strange, considering that in the United States, everyone drives at all, except people with pathologies that interfere with this. It remains to be assumed only that they are not taught theory in driving school, which is also optional, but the folder teaches in youth, as we have children on a bike, but the bitch even without learning theory, so as not to guess during the operation of the car that if you release the gas pedal, the car will lose speed to a complete stop - this is for me I don't understand! In short, another sacrifice of facts and logic for the sake of dramatization, which has become a tradition, I suppose.
@Ozakls: those who found Krajicek decided to help him in this way. If there is no left hand, there are no experiments. Please note, they are all amputated with their left hand. And the child of the teacher and the truck driver too(
Seriously, in the local GULAG, there were no towers with snipers and machine gunners, no guards with machine guns at the gates? All that the local turntables have are horsemen? It is strange that only Mulder escaped in this case, because there the whole horde of prisoners could crowd all the guards. Screenwriter, what is this? It's not serious somehow.
I really didn't like these two episodes.. so many questions. Okay, Russians on horseback, there aren't many roads in the forest, so it makes sense to use horses for cross-country driving. But don't they have a single car to catch up with Gruschovik? Why wasn't Mulder slowing down? How does the driver's wife know English? Why did they cut off their hands, as if there was nowhere else to inject.. in the other hand, for example. And the edge is at the end with a bag in the prosthesis.. firstly, when did you manage to do it, and secondly, who in their right mind, having lost a hand, will use a prosthesis for such tasks, and not a healthy hand. How did Mulder get to St. Petersburg, and why not to Moscow, how did he get out? Why isn't he infected with this stuff anymore and why wasn't he checked? The man in the spacesuit somehow got infected and almost died, and Mulder is running, he and Scully calmly watched in the nursing home as she got out of the old woman. In short, for me, it's all mixed up in a pile and as if they hadn't thought it through. I'm waiting for the usual episodes not from the government conspiracy line))
Forgive me, but this is some kind of sur. I haven 't laughed like that in a long time , Krajicek is something else. 🤣 And Mulder teleported from the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
Almost the entire guard of the Gulag rode off on horseback behind the truck. And no one even thought to take a second truck and rush after Mulder, neither the guards nor the prisoners.

Why and how did kralchik get off the boat
There are a lot of questions …
Are Russians laughing with the Gulag still funny in 2024?
