It feels a bit silly writing a review for something which aired well over a decade ago but oh well.
This is probably the weakest episode of the X-files in my opinion, I wasn't born when the show originally aired so I've been watching it through with friends and have enjoyed pretty much all of it, even the later seasons, even the comedy episodes and the episodes in LA which were not well received by hardcore fans at the time ect. I didn't really find it offensive to Catholics or anything as some other people have said, I just disliked it for other reasons.
This episode is incomprehensible, maybe it's just "of it's time" but I just did not enjoy it. It begins with Mulder and Scully investigating a bombing at a church while an irritating writer/producer follows them around to gather material, but soon the culprit/victim turns out to be alive and claiming to be Jesus and that plot thread just...fizzles out. They decide to head off to LA to watch the filming of the movie the writer was working on, there's a few cameos of various 90s actors and then it just ends.
I guess if you live or work in Hollywood maybe this is really hilarious, maybe this was one which was more for the actors to enjoy, maybe they were getting sick of the show (which would be understandable) but I just didn't Get It. A few times we had to pause to figure out what was actually happening. Events just seemed to occur for no reason. It was like Monty Python but without the laughs. Just not for me.
