Storyline

- TriviaThe footage of the young girl with progeria was filmed after the production crew contacted the Progeria Society and were put in touch with the family of Courtney Arciaga, who was a young girl with the disease. She and her family were fans of the series, and were flown from their San Diego home to Vancouver to shoot the scene.
- Goofs(at around 43 mins) Young Barnett is seen in the hospital with a bullet wound on his left shoulder, received from the shot fired at him by Mulder. However, his left shoulder was earlier hidden behind his hostage, so could not have been the target of Mulder's shot. Only his right shoulder was visible, which could have been the target of the only shot fired at him by Mulder. However, a shot fired at his shoulder could not have incapacitated him the way it was depicted, which could only have been possible with a shot aimed at his head. But, as seen in the hospital, his head was completely injury-free. Moreover, a shot fired at his shoulder should have also given his arm a strong backward thrust, which was not seen.

Blast from the past
An episode from season 1 which gives an insight into Mulder's past and its pretty dark.Earlier in his career Mulder sticking to procedure had a clear chance to shoot a criminal called John Barnett.Mulder didn't want to endanger any other life and didn't take the shot.However Barnett then shot a cop dead.This affects Mulder significantly and struggles to suppress the memory.Barnett is sent down but before he is he threatens Mulder that he will get him.It is believed that Barnett died in prison.Years pass.Mulder starts to receive threatening notes and grows worried that Barnett has seemingly returned from the grave but cannot convince himself this.Barnett is indeed back alive and has the perfect disguise-youth.Its a race to find Barnett before he tries to carry out his threat and kill Mulder.
For me the quality of this episode is augmented by the supporting cast.The actors who play John Barnett,the young John Barnett,Reggie Purdue and Dr Joe Ridley are excellent.It helps hold the episode together and makes it all the more enjoyable
