Young at Heart is another solid season one episode. I like the guest star character of Reggie Purdue and I liked the performance by the actor playing the young Barnett. What I thought was great were the phone conversations between Mulder and Barnett. Barnett has this cool, evil laugh that I can't describe in words. Another nice edition to this episode was Agent Henderson from the crime lab. She and Mulder exchange some double-entendres. Unfortunately, we do not see here again in the series. I think it would've been nice to have Agent Henderson pop up every once in awhile like Agent Pendrell does. I think Mulder's struggle with his past actions in this case for failing to shoot Barnett plays out beautifully. It certainly shows us how difficult it can be to be an FBI agent and the decisions they can face. The question is how Mulder will react when later faced with a similar crisis?
