An utterly outstanding episode. Easily the first Season's best. Just what this show needed to keep me interested.
Brad Dourif definitely gave the best guest performance in this episode, and maybe of the entire series. He was absolutely outstanding. As was Gillian Anderson, it's one of her best acting. I never thought highly of DD in the first seasons, but GA was brilliant from the very start. She was very convincing.
This is really the first, and only episode of Season 1 where I prefer Scully over Mulder. Her episodes have always been strong and give her character justice. and gets us to understand her a little better. 'I'm afraid to believe'.
All around, FIVE + stars for sure.
