Review of Roland

The X-Files: Roland (1994)
Season 1, Episode 23
8/10
Roland's Revenge
6 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
An autistic man who works as a janitor at a lab is the prime suspect for the murders of scientists who's work is being completed even after their deaths.

I think this subject matter was a good move for the producers of the x-files as it highlights the problems autistic people have. Zjelko Ivanek is one of the finest actors to have ever played a supporting role in the x-files.His portrayal of the autistic Roland is superb.

The twist where Roland and the late Dr Grable are actually long lost twin brothers is the making of this episode.Dr Grable returns in Roland's body and kills the other scientists and completes his work on jet propulsion technology through the medium of Rolands body.To everyone Roland is simply an autistic janitor.A great twist to a highly memorable episode where Zjelko Ivanek's great acting steals the show
