Nisei the Limerick:
Japanese doctors are maimed
For a medical autopsy unexplained
Mulder sees it on tape
And soon gets in a scrape
After he jumps onto a train
Nisei is a decent episode but it really doesn't have a whole lot to it without watching the conclusion 731. There is mainly a lot of suspense with the investigation and sneaking around rather than any real action. One problem I have with the episode is that about 30 minutes in the middle consist of about 5 cuts back and forth between Mulder and Scully. Mulder is sneaking around a shipyard just kind of looking at stuff, and Scully is sitting in Betsy Hagopian's house asking the same questions over and over again. They are really just like two scenes that get drawn out way too long because they keep cutting between them. Other than that, I like the episode fine. It is an important part of the mythology and despite some slowness has some good action as well. I give it a 7 out of 10.
