Fallen Angel the Limerick:
An invisible alien burns
All in his path where he turns.
A fun-loving schizo
Turns into a psycho
Abducted by aliens Mulder learns.
The first time we meet Max Fenig. This episode at first remembrance isn't really anything too special other than that. It is one of the early alien abduction episodes before the mythology really took a definite form. Because of that it has a number of items that make it a mythology episode and other items that set it apart. I didn't make a list if that was what you expected to come next. Sorry. I guess maybe I will name one or two. The main one that comes to mind as a difference is that the alien is invisible or cloaked somehow. Much later in the series we find out that the UFOs can cloak themselves but it wouldn't make much sense for aliens to cloak when they can just shape shift and look like anyone they want. One similarity is the flashes that cause severe burns to those exposed to them. This is seen a number of times throughout the series. Max Fenig has always been a favorite character due to his performance in this episode and the story isn't too bad. For an early alien abduction episode it is pretty good so I will go with 7 out of 10.
