The reason why I thought this Ep was FAR from Sub-Standard, is because it steps along the Fringe - Right on the Very Edge of what is commonly referred to as "religion" but I call "Spirituality." But this ep really has nothing to do with any organised form of group-spirituality, eastern OR western. But it does use a few tenets from both East and West spiritual ideologies.
David Duchovny's real life GF of the time, Maggie Wheeler, is Detective Sharon Lazard, looking and sounding very much like Sarah Silverman from the Reitman/Duchovny film "Evolution." Her accent is perfect. The Great Dey Young (From Rock n Roll High School) is Michelle's Mom, who Mulder seems to not p*ss off as badly as he usually p*sses off parents.
Plenty of Maguffins to go around here - A Detective, (Dwight Koss) apparently suicides by jumping out of a high window. When Mulder and Skully look at the scene, it appears the man was forcibly ejected. The only other person in the room was a 9-year old Girl Michelle (Andrea Libman) who says there was another guy in the room - When they try to use a computer to make an image of the person she saw, the software glitches and out pops the picture of Charlie Morris (Jonathan Walker - who was last seen in Fringe "Forced Perspective") — and he was killed 9 years previous to the events here. One by One, the Police Officers Charlie used to work with are being killed off — systematically. Caprica's Brian Markenson is "Tony" - Who married Charlie's Wife "Anita" (Mimi Lieber).
Nobody ever comes out and says "Reincarnation" or even "Ghost," but that is what is being referred to here - Although "Ghost" is far from what is actually happening. What makes this interesting is the slow way the relevant conundrum is revealed. We know the kid Michelle has something to do with what is happening, but what exactly? And is she directly involved?
Skully finds that Charlie had been drowned in Seawater before being "Accidentally Killed" in action. This is just one of many little puzzles about this X-File - All relevant.
This story has no EBEs. This story has no Black Oil. Well, this was before the black oil... But the X-File of this Monster of the Week ep is still sound scientifically, although not falsifiable at this time. But whether something is falsifiable or not cannot dictate if something is either real and proved or if it is based on Fantasy, Science Fiction, or Myth.
This ep was expertly directed by veteran TV Director/Writer Jerry Freedman who had previously directed the episode "Ghost in the Machine" and written by producers Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa.
