1-8 Recap	The X-Files Rip-off Subject: Me And My Shadow - Well, aren't they all, though? This is about a vampire that takes the form of a shadow, and lives inside people's shadows, until the full moon.	01.18.2001	B-	Kim
Ep.	Title	Air/Pub'l	Grade	Author
1-7 Recap	Dead Rap Stars Subject: Still I Rise - The Freakylinks gang tries to unravel the mystery behind the alleged death of a rap star named XT. Let's just say it involves a wax effigy. And a doom circle.	01.11.2001 01.14.2001	N/A	Kim
1-6 Recap	The Return Subject: The Harbingers - Freakylinks returns after a few months off, and it's actually not terrible. Derek and the gang explore a mystery that Adam was investigating just before his death.	01.04.2001 01.06.2001	B	Kim
1-5 Recap	Creepy Crawlers Subject: Desert Squid! Myth Or Legend? - Some cattle are being mutilated, and one wacko claims that the perpetrator is a giant Desert Squid. Is it all an elaborate hoax to bump up tourism for a tiny Texas town? Or is there some truth to the matter? Leave it to the Freakylinks gang to find out. While they're searching, they might want to scare up some ratings, since the show will likely not return to the airwaves.	11.02.2000 11.03.2000	N/A	Kim
1-4 Recap	Thunderwhat? Subject: Coelacanth This! - Derek, Jason and Chloe stumble upon a sleepy Southern town with a sheriff who doesn't want any trouble. They get arrested and thrown into a prison for women that is really just a front for...oh wait, that's another show entirely. Um, there're bear attacks? And prehistoric creatures? And as always, cheesy dialogue and Ethan Embry's eyebrows.	10.26.2000 10.27.2000	N/A	Kim
1-3 Recap	Subway Series Subject: Edith Keeler Must Die - In a timely episode, the Freakylinks gang takes to the tunnels beneath New York City. Looking for World Series tickets? No, they're investigating the possibility of alligators in the sewers. And Mole People. Next thing you know, they're going to be investigating this story that happened to my cousin's college roommate. See they went parking, and there was a radio report that a killer was on the loose, but instead of a hand, the killer had a hook...	10.19.2000 10.21.2000	N/A	Kim
1-2 Recap	Friday the Thirteenth Subject: Three Thirteen - The Freakylinks gang is asked to investigate the case of a pregnant woman who may or may not be possessed by a demon. Or maybe she's just really cranky. Meanwhile, Lan gets a total makeover, Chloe resembles Kirsten Davis instead of Connie Selleca, and Ethan Embry looks like a deer caught in the headlights.	10.12.2000 10.16.2000	N/A	Kim
Mondo Extra	Revamped? More like ReCrapped Pilot - News reports say that this pilot episode was revamped prior to airing to insert some levity to the proceedings. Gee, you can hardly tell at all. Except that the new scenes are completely obvious and pointless.	10.05.2000 10.07.2000	D	Kim
