All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Season Two Masterpost

That's a wrap on season two! From Flukeman to Albert Hosteen, we explored 25 of the characters that helped make season two of The X-Files so iconic!

Here's a look into all the characters we've met so far!

2x01 | Little Green Men - Senator Richard Matheson (@monikafilefan)

Soon, secrets will snowball. Good people will suffer. Even senators will lose much more than their seats.

2x02 | The Host - Flukeman (@gaycrouton)

Fluke.

2x03 | Blood - Sheriff Spencer (@admiralty-xfd)

Based on the fact that there was simply no reasonable, logical explanation the man would have to do something like this, Spencer knew he could only turn towards the illogical – and that happened to be the X-Files.

2x04 | Sleepless - Salvatore Matola (@fridaysat9)

He could hear their screams, just like every night when he laid down in his bed and stared at the ceiling until the sun came up.

2x05 | Duane Barry - Duane Barry (@gaycrouton)

Someone had his implant. Someone… a woman in Georgetown.

2x06 | Ascension - Dr. Takeo Ishimaru (@admiralty-xfd)

He misses the quiet. Now it seems all he hears is drilling and beeping and yes, sometimes screaming.

2x07 | 3 - Kristen Killar (@fridaysat9)

There’s an emptiness inside her that needs to be satiated with blood… or something else.

2x08 | One Breath - Melissa Scully (@monikafilefan)

Melissa reaches out to gently smooth a stray tendril tangled within one of the many strips of tape stuck to Dana’s porcelain skin. The brittle hair snaps in two, and Melissa swears she can feel a piece of her heart snapping right along with it.

2x09 | Firewalker - Dr. Daniel Trepkos (@admiralty-xfd)

Albert Einstein was known for changing the world, he would say to Jessie if he could. Daniel Trepkos would only be known for destroying it.

2x10 | Red Museum - Old Man (@fridaysat9)

He may have been the only person in town who was making such a connection, but maybe these FBI agents had open minds and might consider it. Something had gone wrong in this sleepy little town and no one, not the townspeople or the sheriff, was doing a goddamn thing to fix it.

2x11 | Excelsis Dei - Dorothy (@monikafilefan)

If Leo tells these nice people that orderly Gung gives them special pills he makes to help them feel alive again, then maybe Gung will get in trouble. Maybe he won’t be able to free any of them from the confines of their minds like this anymore.

2x12 | Aubrey - Danny Valladeo (@gaycrouton)

Working in the lab felt like helping them put together a puzzle while blindfolded. The catch was, you never got to see the end picture until their case reports were finalized, and even then, the final image was abstract beyond recognition.

2x13 | Irresistible - Dr. Karen Kosseff (@fridaysat9)

In all her years working as a therapist for the FBI, Karen had learned that partnerships, be they successful or not, were integral in how an agent functioned, both inside and out of work. An open and trusting partnership could make an agent feel secure and safe, leading them to a successful career and a well balanced life. Without trust, accidents happened, careers ended, and lives could be lost.

2x14 | Die Hand Die Verletzt - Andrea (@monikafilefan)

There’s a presence here, they say. A consistent darkness that lingers like the gray haze coating Milford New Hampshire before sunrise. It’s an old story, whispered about in covert corners of community potlucks and PTA meetings.

2x15 | Fresh Bones - Chester Bonaparte (@gaycrouton)

In voodoo, it’s believed that the dead will come back again, that we should not be afraid of death.

2x16 | Colony - Bill Mulder (@admiralty-xfd)

Fox’s eyes glint with the sparkle of curiosity Bill still remembers from when he was a boy; way back when they watched their first episode of Star Trek together. Back before he knew he wasn’t his boy.

2x17 | End Game - Alien Bounty Hunter (@monikafilefan)

There is an extraterrestrial race war rising within his world: a rebellion in the making. A faction of clones and shapeshifters rallying against the oil that made them. Fools, all them. Hybridization cannot be tolerated. Purity of the alien race must be maintained.

2x18 | Fearful Symmetry - Sophie (@gaycrouton)

Willa not understand. Sophie scared. Baby go flying light.

2x19 | Død Kalm - Captain Peter Barclay (@admiralty-xfd)

He doesn’t know how or why but he knows what’s happening, like a road map for his mortality is written on his insides. He can see the end, and it’s close.

2x20 | Humbug - Mr. Nutt (@fridaysat9)

He didn’t need a suit and a hideous tie to make him matter. He wasn’t a caricature of a man, all handsome features, strapping physique, and perfectly placed sarcastic remarks. No siree.

2x21 | The Calusari - Golda (@gaycrouton)

Golda knew it was a matter of time before the Devil caught up to her. She’d looked into his eyes.

He knows her now.

2x22 | F. Emasculata - U.S. Marshal Deke Tapia (@admiralty-xfd)

Tapia grimaces. “You mean… ew.”

“Yeah," Mulder replies. "Ew.”

2x23 | Soft Light - Detective Kelly Ryan (@fridaysat9)

She tried to file everything away– the questions they asked, the things that seemed important to them, the way that they seemed to be able to converse without words.

Watching them made her feel like a novice, but at the same time, made her excited for her future as a detective.

2x24 | Our Town - Jess Harold (@monikafilefan)

Jess smirks. Chaco has no idea just how close he is to being the entrée in the same stew he’s so eagerly served the residents of Dudley for decades.

2x25 | Anasazi - Albert Hosteen (@admiralty-xfd)

There is a saying in Navajo tradition: that true love is like the wind; you cannot see it, but you can feel it.

There was true love between the FBI man and woman. I could fee

Stay tuned for more perspectives coming in Season Three!

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter.

Since you all made a mockery of last week’s theme, we’ve decided that there will be no theme.

Aries 

According to “The Cube Rule of Food”, A Sandwich is defined as having independent structural cabs on opposing sides to the filling; for instance a hamburger. HOWEVER a Club Sandwich, which is a double-decker BLT with poultry and an additional slab of bread in the middle, is correctly defined as… “Cake”. Have fun eating your BLT Cake this week.  

Taurus 

Start the countdown and buy your supplies now. It’s less than 250 days until Halloween and you need to make a splash this year. Plan on throwing a party, themed around Historical Figures - and you’ll be Amelia Earhart…. And when your guests arrive, you be in Hawaii.

Gemini  

Your capacity to remember commercial jingles from the 70’s is only as impressive with how localized those same commercials are. Nobody knows what the Milford Plaza is, or where Puppy City is, or what discounts on slacks are available at M&K. Turn all that knowledge into a trivia game! 

Cancer Moon-Child 

Yes, you can play a flight sim, or space sim, or racing sim with a mouse and keyboard, but they’re all more fun with a dedicated controller. But for you freaks driving Train Sims… those dedicated controllers look like something out of a Minuteman Missile Silo. Y’all are FREAKS!   

Leo 

Look up into the night sky. Somewhere, about 200 km over your head at over 27,000 kph, there’s a hunk of metal that, upon impact, would turn you into a finer mist than DOOM’s BFG 9000 could ever hope to accomplish. The next time you start feeling romantic, just remember it’s up there, waiting patiently while traveling three times faster than any bullet on Earth… just waiting for you to get into space so it can bite you. 

Virgo 

Have you watched “Smokey and the Bandit”? You better not watch Burt Reynolds in that movie because he just does NOT know how to operate a CB Radio Microphone. Ok, Ok, so. Just watch how he talks into it - he grips the mic switch and Never.. Lets… Go. CB’s Don’t Work That Way! Jerry shoulda taught you better!

Libra 

“Loop-DUJH, hohm-MLEEJ, Loo-TEHB, Garg-HMEH!” If you’d taken up learning Klingon like we told you to LAST week, you’d be laughing right now. You uncultured “Peh-TAHQ”!

Scorpio 

Where did we go wrong with you, Aquarius? We’ve tried for months, seriously months, to be nicer to you. We bent the rules of the cosmos and worked on making you feel more included and supported and what d… OH! Sorry, Scorpio. Mistook you for Aquarius there. Forget about it. You just… go get an ophthalmological examination scheduled this week.

Sagittarius 

Lemme screw you all up. The original USS Enterprise on Star Trek should have looked more like the Reliant from The Wrath of Khan. The only reason it looked the way it did was because Walt Jeffries had the design upside-down across the table to Gene Roddenberry and he approved it that way. So turn your best work upside-down and someone else will stamp their approval on it.

Capricorn 

There is a company that sells pillows with specialized photo printing on them. You know what the hottest seller is? A picture of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It’s the perfect puffy size and shape. Why couldn’t you come up with something that fun to sell? Or maybe you can. So the same thing, only… make it self-heating for the winter months. And add a Bluetooth Speaker in it.

Aquarius 

Yeeaahhh. Sorry about the mix up there. Hey, look. We’re still in your star sign, so-o-o-o… eeeeyeeeaaahhhh. (*Long Exhale*)” Look, we all know how this is gunna end. Neither one of us is going to budge on this ‘Scope until the heat death of the Universe, so. Let’s just agree not to get into each other's way down the stairs. OK?

Pisces  

Here’s the naughty one that was held over from last week. Buy a container of K-Y Jelly, find the consumer helpline phone number on it and give a call. Let the person know that you are impressed with the spreadability of the product, but dissatisfied with the flavor, requesting information on any berry-flavoured versions. Just make sure you ONLY do this on April 1st! 

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.

If so, Fiordland National Park in New Zealand should be at the top of your travel list. This natural wonder offers breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and endless opportunities for adventure. Let’s dive into the heart of Fiordland and discover what makes this park so extraordinary.

A Majestic Introduction

Fiordland National Park, located on the southwestern corner of New Zealand's South Island, is a world unto itself. Covering over 1.2 million hectares, it’s the largest national park in New Zealand and one of the largest in the world. Fiordland is renowned for its dramatic scenery, from the deep, glacial-carved fjords to the lush rainforests and alpine lakes. The park is part of the Te Wahipounamu UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its outstanding natural beauty and significant geological features.

The Allure of Milford Sound

When people think of Fiordland, Milford Sound often comes to mind first. Dubbed the "eighth wonder of the world" by Rudyard Kipling, this fjord is a must-see. Imagine steep cliffs rising from the dark waters, with waterfalls cascading down their faces. On a sunny day, the sight is nothing short of magical. Even in the rain, the sound transforms into a mystical wonderland, with countless temporary waterfalls appearing as if by magic.

Adventure Awaits

For the adventurous spirit, Fiordland offers a plethora of activities. Hiking is a favorite, with trails ranging from short walks to multi-day treks. The Milford Track, often referred to as the finest walk in the world, takes you through lush forests, over mountain passes, and past roaring waterfalls.

Keep an eye out for dolphins, seals, and even penguins as you paddle along.

Wildlife Encounters

Fiordland is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. The park is home to a variety of native birds, including the endangered takahe and the cheeky kea. In the waters, you might spot bottlenose dolphins, fur seals, and Fiordland crested penguins. The lush forests and rugged mountains also provide habitats for many other species, making every hike or boat trip a potential wildlife adventure.

Scenic Flights: A Bird’s Eye View

If you want to see Fiordland from a different perspective, consider taking a scenic flight. Soaring above the fjords, mountains, and lakes gives you a sense of the park’s vastness and beauty that’s hard to grasp from the ground. Many operators offer flights that include a landing, allowing you to experience the remote wilderness up close before taking off again.

Staying in Fiordland

When it comes to accommodations, Fiordland caters to a range of preferences. In Te Anau, the gateway to the park, you'll find everything from luxury lodges to budget-friendly hostels. Staying in Te Anau gives you easy access to the park and its many attractions. For a more immersive experience, consider staying in one of the remote lodges within the park. Waking up to the sounds of nature and the stunning scenery right outside your window is an unforgettable experience.

Sustainable Tourism

Fiordland National Park is a pristine environment, and preserving its natural beauty is a top priority. Visitors are encouraged to follow the principles of Leave No Trace, ensuring that the park remains unspoiled for future generations. Many tour operators in the area are committed to sustainable practices, helping to protect this natural wonder while providing incredible experiences for visitors.

Final Thoughts

It is advisable to tailor your kit to the specifics of your hike and personal needs.

Remember, a hiker's mantra is to be prepared for anything nature throws your way. With this essential hiking gear list in hand, you're one step closer to embracing the adventure that awaits!

Selecting the Right Hiking Boots for New Zealand Terrain

To navigate through rocky paths, soft muddy routes, and the occasional snowy terrain, it's crucial to find boots that offer comprehensive protection. From seasoned brands like KEEN and Merrell, known for their waterproof hiking boots, to innovative designs from Salomon and The North Face, offering the latest in trekking footwear technology, the choices are vast. Yet, the right pair should suit not just the trail ahead but your feet's unique contours for a secure and pleasant hike.

Grip: A boot's sole should have deep lugs that allow for confident strides on diverse surfaces.

Durability: Premium materials shield against wear and tear, ensuring your boots stand the test of time and terrain.

Comfort: Adequate cushioning and support are non-negotiable for long-distance treks.

Water-Resistance: A breathably waterproof membrane, like Gore-Tex, is indispensable for an enjoyable hike in damp conditions.

To extend the lifespan of your trekking footwear, routine maintenance is as crucial as selection. After each hike, remove any dirt or debris, and when necessary, reapply a water-proof treatment to keep your boots in prime condition. Moreover, always allow your boots to air dry naturally, away from direct heat, to preserve their structural integrity. By doing so, your investment in the best hiking boots NZ has to offer will yield countless treks of outstanding performance.

Layering Strategies for Comfort and Protection

Embarking on a hike through New Zealand’s ever-changing landscapes means preparing for an array of weather conditions. The key to maintaining comfort and safety lies in mastering the art of layering with proper hiking attire. Selecting the right combination of thermal layers, waterproof jackets, and leveraging outdoor clothing technology will make all the difference in your outdoor adventure.

Base Layers for Moisture Management

Starting close to the skin, the base layer's primary function is to regulate your body temperature by moving sweat away from your body. Look for moisture-wicking fabrics like Merino wool or synthetic blends, which keep you dry and comfortable during strenuous hikes.

Insulation Layers for Warmth

To combat the chill, especially in higher altitudes, insulation layers are essential. Mid-layers such as fleece jackets or down vests provide the warmth you need without adding excessive bulk, making sure you stay agile on the trails.

Outer Layers for Wind and Rain Proofing

Finally, the outer layer protects you from the elements. Whether facing gusty winds or unexpected downpours, a robust waterproof jacket with breathable fabric is a hiker's best shield against the elements. Technologies like Gore-Tex offer both water resistance and breathability.Fabric TypeBenefitsRecommended UseMerino WoolTemperature Regulation, Odor ResistanceBase LayerSynthetic FleeceWarmth, LightweightMid LayerGore-TexWaterproof, Windproof, BreathabilityOuter Layer

By understanding and applying these layering principles, hikers can brave the dynamic conditions confidently, staying dry, warm, and secure from the base camp to the summit. Remember, proper preparation with high-quality outdoor clothing technology is not a luxury; it's a necessity for any serious adventurer.

Packing Nutrition and Hydration for the Trail

Embarking on the rugged trails of New Zealand's wilderness requires not only physical stamina but a well-thought-out plan for hiking nutrition and hydration. Appropriate fuel in the form of trail snacks and meals is a cornerstone of outdoor adventure, ensuring a constant supply of energy for the journey ahead. Likewise, understanding and employing effective hydration systems and water purification methods are vital to maintaining peak performance amidst nature's challenges.

For sustained energy, hikers should focus on nutrient-rich foods that offer a balance of proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Trail snacks such as nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are excellent for on-the-go munching, while energy bars and gels provide a quick, convenient calorie boost. When it comes to meal planning, dehydrated meals are a lightweight option that only requires boiling water, making them an ideal choice for the intrepid trekker.

Maintaining hydration is equally crucial. Modern hydration systems, like hydration bladders and insulated water bottles, ensure that water is readily accessible without the need to stop and unpack. When traversing backcountry terrain, reliable water purification techniques—be it chemical tablets, UV light purifiers, or filtration systems—are non-negotiable to safeguard against pathogens commonly found in untreated water sources.Trail SnackBenefitsHydration ProductFeaturesMixed NutsHigh in protein and healthy fats, long-lasting energyHydration BladderHands-free, large capacity, convenient tube for sippingEnergy BarsCompact, variety of flavors, quick digestible carbsInsulated Water BottleKeeps water cool, durable, eco-friendlyDried FruitsNatural sugars for a quick energy spike, vitaminsUV Water PurifierDestroys over 99.9% of pathogens, portable, quick purification processDehydrated MealsLightweight, easy preparation, energy-denseWater Filtration SystemRemoves particulates and microorganisms, perfect for streams and lakes

Armed with a plan for optimal hiking nutrition and modes of hydration, adventurers can face the breathtaking but demanding New Zealand trails with confidence. Choosing the right mix of trail snacks, meals, hydration systems, and water purification strategies is not just a matter of sustenance but an integral part of trail safety and enjoyment.

Technical Gadgets and Tools for a Smooth Hike

Embarking on a New Zealand trek transforms into an even more gratifying experience when you arm yourself with the latest hiking technology. In an age where tech aids significantly in enhancing outdoor adventures, discerning hikers are recognizing the value of innovative gadgets to bolster safety, navigation, and convenience. From power solutions that harness the sun's energy to smart devices guiding your route, these high-tech tools are reshaping the trekking experience.

Utilizing Solar Chargers and Power Banks

Keeping your electronic devices charged is essential for both convenience and safety during long hikes. Portable charging solutions such as solar chargers and power banks have become invaluable assets on the trail. They provide hikers with the means to sustain their smartphones, GPS devices, and cameras without access to electrical grids. Solar chargers, in particular, capitalize on New Zealand's abundant daylight, offering an eco-friendly method to stay powered up and connected.

High-Tech Hiking Poles and Trail Apps

In the quest for stability and support, modern trekking poles have evolved, integrating technology that does more than just aid your stride. Advanced materials for lightweight strength and shock absorption are just the beginning. Paired with interactive trail navigation apps, hikers now have access to detailed maps, terrain analysis, and waypoint marking, all contributing to a secure and informed hiking journey. These apps not only guide your steps but also enrich your understanding of the terrain ahead.

Safety Tech: Personal Locator Beacons (PLB)

When solitary beauty is contrasted with the potential risks of remote wilderness, safety precautions become non-negotiable. Emergency locator beacons stand out as a critical piece of safety gear for any backcountry adventurer. A personal locator beacon (PLB) can be a lifeline in dire situations, sending out signals to rescue services despite the absence of traditional communication networks. They exemplify the pinnacle of hiking safety technology, providing peace of mind to both hikers and their loved ones.
