"Maximum Byers" Review

by Adam Silva

Writers Vince Gilligan and Frank Spotnitz deliver in what is truly the best episode since the first. No episode so far has delivered as good of a balance between the comedy and seriousness. No plot has been less silly (aside from the first episode's). And, no episode has delivered such a high percentage of funny jokes compared with all of them. So I reiterate, this show can only get better! Although, is some faction of the Gunmen team gonna be thrown in jail in every episode from now on? That's been the case since "Like Water For Octane." That's why I thought the Gunmen's feelings around going into prison were a little strange. They've been in the slammer so much, what's death row?

Also, I must give special kudos to the producers for getting such wonderful guest actors. George Coe, Stephen Tobolowsky, Edward Woodward, and now Darren E. Burrows. I've always liked him since his days on "Northern Exposure." He has been sadly underused since, and I want to think the boys at 1013 for giving him a job on both "The X-Files" and "The Lone Gunmen." Especially since he is a native american, and their actors could use more support. I also would like to thank the offical site for "The X-Files" for placing his appearance at the top of their news items. Again, thanks.
