Great Novelization of Season 3 "Syzygy" Episode

"Bad Sign," based on the Season 3 X-Files episode "Syzygy," takes place in a small town named Comity, where three teens have mysteriously died so far. Most everyone in the agitated town believes a satanic cult is responsible for their deaths, so FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are called in to investigate. Yet three more teens die anyway--and all signs point to two 17-year-old cheerleaders, Terri Roberts and Margi Kleinjan, whose fates are culminating during a syzygy (an alignment of three celestial objects).This book/episode has some rather funny parts, particularly regarding Mulder and Scully's out-of-character behavior--Scully acts more skeptical and moody than usual, and Mulder falls for the attractive town detective, Angela White. "Syzygy" is one of my favorite X-Files episodes, and Easton Royce (a pen name used by Neal Shusterman; his collaborator: Eric Elfman) does an excellent novelization of it. It's like "Carrie," times two, with a cosmic twist.

Not Bad :)

The book was OK. Best novelization from X-files I've read, but what Season was Bad Sign from, anyway?
