Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGold medal winning athlete Jay Caputo was cast as the man-bat because the part was very athletic and required many hours hanging upside down.
- GoofsWhen Scully speaks with Detective Abbott on the porch, the camera crew can be seen reflected in his sunglasses, clearly positioned behind Scully.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Dana Scully: And I just... I just wanted to say, um... thank you for watching my back.
John Doggett: Well, I never saw it as an option. I'm sure you don't either.
- Crazy creditsFor the first time, actor David Duchovny is not named in the opening credits. His image appears in the title montage, which shows him falling into an abyss.
Featured review
An excellent episode.
Scully and Doggett head to Idaho to investigate two deaths, two dead bodies found with strange bite marks.
They definitely played it safe, this one plays out almost as a traditional horror, a story specifically designed to test the new working relationship between Scully and Doggett
Considering it's a Mulder free episode (apart from the scene of him falling away in those new, hard to get used to opening credits,) it's actually a pretty great episode, it naturally feels different, but all credit to Robert Patrick, I thought he was excellent here, I loved the scenes between Scully and Doggett.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't missing Mulder, but it's great to see Scully behaving so differently, she's so guarded, so defensive, she's made to feel very isolated.
For me, Patience feels like a throwback to an earlier series, it lacks any of the humour that I associated with Series 8, it felt like it was plucked out of series 5 or 6.
Loved it, 9/10.
