Congratulations on your upcoming book, by the way.
What I like about "Silver Cornet" is the way Bonetree takes a very BIG story (about the end of the world) and makes it claustrophobic by setting it on the train. The fight becomes embodied by just a few people, and I enjoyed the opposing forces of Kever and Blue.
I liked that, too. It's like a "bottle episode," only on the page instead of the screen. I don't know if you reread it or just commented based on your first reading. The copy I linked to was missing the fourth chapter--and so is the archived version at Gossamer! I doubt she cut the chapter deliberately--the fic makes better sense and has better flow with it. There is now a link to the original at her Way-backed AOL site. I need to save that version.
The new episodes which were not written by Chris Carter were tolerable and Darin Morgan's was the best of the three. The other three--well, let's just say I'm glad you didn't watch them. I wish I hadn't. Season ten was a failure, imho. I won't be watching season eleven, assuming it happens.
I hated IWTB when I saw it in the theater. But I rewatched it with my dad a few months ago (he'd never seen it) and strangely, it didn't seem as bad as I'd remembered. It was a terrible movie but we both thought with some judicious editing, it would have been a decent MoW episode.
