[sc:wsbtop]What madness drives a writer? What passion? Who can hold the beating heart in hand? It’s all here in the finale of Chris Carter’s 10 Essential episodes, Season 6 Episode 18 “Milagro”! The teleplay was by Chris Carter, and the story was from John Shiban and Frank Spotnitz. The original air date was April 18, 1999, and the episode had 15.2 million viewers.
More tantalizing tidbits await us from Entertainment Weekly! First up is a story following up something we have discussed in our previous episodes, the theory that Scully is immortal. Then there is a wrapup of the stars this week at the Television Critics Awards hilariously attempting to explain the secret to their sizzling chemistry.
Then it’s time for our discussion of the episode! We break it down for you, adding some spice from series producer and episode director Kim Manners’ commentary track. Then we have a lot in the Spooky Drawer, from the writers’ views on characters and the creative process, the genesis of the idea for the episode, how John Hawkes got the part, and the reaction of critics. Plus: great listener feedback!
