I unfortunately have nothing to say about this episode - t completely and utterly slipped me by. Wasn’t a fan of the supporting cast or plot in this one.

I like Scully bringing the case to Mulder! Religion strikes its head in the mystical elements for the first overt time, and I think it’s done well in this episode, with a believable ‘protagonist’ and an interesting premise (albeit one done to death in general media). Some nice twists at the end, I did find this episode ultimately one that failed to hold my attention too much on this rewatch.

I just love how heavily into Mulder and his pure passion Scully falls this episode. Love the conspiracy element, first time I think? It is a bit po-faced at times, or rather, they cram an awful lot in and I think this could have been done over a bit more time. It’s still a really good episode though, for all the plot points above.

8/10

Much better than I remembered - gotta love an effective FBI manhunt and when Mulder gets all serious because Scully is in danger. It wastes no time in setting up the plot and the mystical element of it - I really dug it actually, even if it is all a little bit un-shocking.

7/10
