Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is not the first time Mulder is seen wearing glasses. In Pilot (1993), Mulder is down in his office and has glasses on, plus a pocket protector. However, those were myopia glasses, while now he's wearing presbyopia ones, which mark the passage of time and how he's grown older.
- GoofsWhen Mulder and Scully leave the church they find that three steel piles were detached from the church's fence near the entrance just at the sidewalk. It makes no sense for Juliet to remove those piles right at the entrance and moreover to remove three piles just beside each other. This way everybody can easily spot the missing piles just by walking at the sidewalk next to the church and while removing them she must be extra cautious not to get spotted.
- Quotes
Fox Mulder: Well, I may not believe in God, but I believe in you. And therefore I speak to Him through you. Through the transitive property of equality, if "A" equals "B" and "B" equals "C", therefore "A" equals "C". Reason and faith in harmony. Isn't that why we're so good together?
- Crazy creditsAfter the opening credits, the tagline "I Want to Be Beautiful" is in place of the traditional "The Truth Is Out There" tagline.
- ConnectionsReferences Dragnet (1951)
Featured review
The absence of a plot hidden behind gore
Well, this season was a mess.
Now, standing before the finale, all I can say is - please, end this. These characters and actors don't have to suffer any more.
This episode, although not the worst by this season standards, was still underwhelming at best. The story was just uninteresting. It was weird for the sake of being weird. Buffed with eerie laughs and tons of graphical gore for no good reason. You know your story sucks when you're not sure if its supposed to be funny or frightening.
Mulder and Scully get not that much screen time and even then they barely even move in this one. They do almost no actual investigating, but nobody really cares, even their colleagues. The episode moves itself when needed anyway. This also has a weird superhero revenge subplot and religious overtones handled so poorly it makes you cringe.
The ending dialogue hints on something important coming up in the last episode, yet I won't spoil it for you.
Final verdict - instantly forgettable.
