Review of Space

The X-Files: Space (1993)
Season 1, Episode 9
5/10
Not one of the better episodes.
17 September 2020
Mulder and Scully are at NASA, where they've been told that a Space Shuttle Mission has been sabotaged.

It's the weakest episode to date, but it's watchable enough. The first few minutes offer up intrigue and potential horror, a face on Mars, but the episode unfortunately doesn't deliver a great deal. You question the involvement of the charismatic duo at times, they have so little to do, they mainly just stand and watch.

Mulder seems to spend his time explaining things to Scully, she spends her time asking him questions.

Ed Lauter is good as Colonel Belt, but the role is restricted, he doe well with the limited material.

After Ice, this was a bit of a let down, 5/10.
