Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAdenosine deaminase (ADA) - the gene product inhibited by the Spartan virus - is an actual enzyme. Hereditary defects in the enzyme can lead to a condition known as Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), which leaves patients at risk for severe infections like those depicted. A treatment for the condition is to introduce a functional immune system into the patient via bone marrow transplant like Scully suggests for Mulder.
- GoofsThe Cigarette Smoking Man has a tracheostomy. He should not be able to speak unless a special device were attached to the tracheostomy (not apparent in this episode). Generally, a tracheostomy has to be covered to allow someone to speak. Please note that the word "tracheostomy" refers to the placement of a tube in the trachea while "tracheotomy" is just the act of cutting into the trachea. "Tracheostomy" is the correct term in this use.
- Quotes
[to Mulder]
Cigarette Smoking Man: Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes.

Featured review
review of the whole season
Well i was first very happy to hear Mulder and Scully were coming back to the small screen!2 iconic characters that made TV history in the 90's when TV shows were oh so predictable and save,they broke every rule and made real TV quality.with over ten years apart and with a increasing number of other groundbreaking TV shows like(the wire,breaking bad,American crime)i thought the new x files would lean towards these quality type shows and give us a combination of that creepy storytelling combined with new ways of shooting TV shows with great broad shots,amazing visuals combined with raw and realistic feeling TV show but what did we get?
instead we got a c.s.i. type cop show with cheesy 90's overuse of supporting music,poorly shot like a soap opera,smooth guest actresses and actors like the prettier the better,an unbelievable feel to it,overuse of the nostalgia factor,too many inside jokes with takes away every seriousness a Fox Mulder acting like he just came of the Californication set,2 decent episodes being,founders mutation and home again but the rest a poorly executed rushed written set of episodes witch make the early 90's episodes look like masterpieces.
Everything they could do wrong they did wrong. The new x-files is a poor quality fantasy show that doesn't reach it 's level of quality it once had in a million miles.
Instead of this farce the new x-files should,begin all over again. Use complete different shooting ways,it should look like lets say true detective,it should use real great actors like in the wire,it also should have that freaky breaking bad feel,all this combined with that real edgy gore the x-files was famous for 20something years ago.That would be worth looking at!
