The X-Files: Paper Hearts (1996)
Season 4, Episode 10
8/10
Despite one or two flaws, it's a great episode.
6 August 2022
A serial killer taunts Mulder, claiming knowledge of his sister's death.

I really did enjoy this episode, despite its incredibly macabre plot, it really did with a bleak and nasty theme. It's the first episode for some time, I thought that felt like a straight up thriller. The twist that came, I wasn't totally sold in it, but it was interesting enough, it felt a little contrived to make in an X File.

Not my aim at all to have a downer on this episode, I really did enjoy it, plus it managed to unnerve and make me feel very uncomfortable.

Once again we're teased with a resolution about Sarah, but of course, no cigar.

Tom Noonan was awesome as John Lee Roche, I think that's one of my favourite performances to date, boy the guy was chilling.

8/10.
