Deputy Barney Paster

I promise I'll stop spamming the place; really I will. But when I learned that Sebastian had a role on my absolute favorite episode of "The X-Files", I had to go looking for him. If I'd known then what I know now … sigh. This is the first time I've used the Grab tool on my computer, and the screenshot was taken from streaming Netflix, so these aren't as good as they could be. I'd have gotten a few more, but Sebastian's character has a little, shall we say trouble, about 25 minutes into the episode.

1. Why are we up this late?

2. I vividly recall loving the little deputy and feeling so sorry for him. It's been so long, though, I didn't equate him with Timmy at all!

(second favorite ep: The Circus Freaks)

We were up that late because civilized people go to bed at 4:00 a.m. and get up at noon. I have decreed that this is so.

I only saw that episode once, and that was back in the mid-90s when it originally aired, but it was always my favorite of the series. When I discovered the existence of our lovely and talented Mr. Spence via DSM, I started researching his other acting credits. The second I saw "X-Files" listed, I instantly thought, "BARNEY!!!" He made that strong an impression on me, even back then. Guess it was love at first....

I've GOT to get that episode on DVD. I'm slowly collecting the series, but haven't made it to season 4 yet.

(The circus freaks ep would definitely be in my top 5 as well, along with the ones about the fluke worm guy, The Loch Ness Monster critter that Mulder just barely misses getting to see, and the one where Peter Boyle plays a psychic.)
