A captivating watch.
21 August 2022
Scully's health takes a turn for the worse, and ends up in hospital, Mulder continues to find a cure, and fight for his freedom.

This was one of the best episodes of the show I have seen, it's a quite captivating watch, dramatic, enthralling, it packs multiple huge punches, Scully's story being the biggest of them, it's a quite remarkable story. Credit once again to the acting skills of Anderson, and huge credit to the makeup team.

The Sister angle was perhaps the only bit that didn't quite land for me, but in the scale of this episode, it was a surprise, and I'm not going to quibble about it.

The twist, when it comes, is awesome, it had me totally fooled, and surprised.

Smoking Man plays a very different part here, he's a surprising aid to Mulder, but the foundations are set for later years.

Awesome, 10/10.
