5/10
This episode could have been better

Warning: Spoilers
I have been an X-Files fan for more than 20 years. There are so many story lines that make this series, to me, the best of its kind in the history of American television.

This episode is funny in places. Scully examines an invisible cadaver. Mulder ruminates for a while on how to better mankind. A clapboard house explodes.

Paula Sorge plays a centuries old, less than benignant genie. Her performance is less than impressive; she comes off as a less nasal, svelter Roseanne Barr. The humans that she grants wishes to end up in dire straits or dead, after receiving a rather twisted version of what they thought they wanted.

By the end of Je Souhaite, I was shaking my head, and just glad it was over.

This series lasted for 217 episodes. Impossible to make every one a good one, let alone great one, in such a span.

Rather than watch this, I could have watched episodes with the Smoking Man. Or one where Doggett and Reyes help protect Scully and her unborn baby.
