I have found, that each season of X-Files is Thematic. The theme of S1 has been said to be "The Revenge of The Dead People." This episode, and the one before it, do NOT comprise a set of "5 episodes that had to do with dead people getting revenge" - But they do have similar premises. However, I just watched these and I did not see "5 X-Files Eps in a Row that had the same subject" - There are huge differences in each one of the MOTW S1 Eps.
The main theme of S1 to me is "After Death" - Or, things a dead person can do to make it known that it is NOT the end. That there is some kind of communication from beyond. Once again, it is not Falsifiable. Falsifiable, Schmalsifiable! Falsifiability is neither the end all or be all of science. FAITH has to be a large part of Science as well, if there is NO FAITH then absolutely NO science is possible.
These episodes, have more to do with FAITH than anything else - So I'll go on Record, a LOT of The X Files is About FAITH.
And FAITH is not just a "belief" - And it is not strictly about GOD. Faith is part of LIFE, and if a person does not have it, then I have no hope for that person, any person-Religious or Irreligious.
Maybe because there were no EBEs in these eps, or no Black Oil, or Space Ships, or Abductions. People forget what The X-Files was about. Did they see ANY of the non-arc episodes? Apparently Not. Ergo? NOT Fans of the show but Would-Be Internet Eberts.
Zeljko Ivanek is your perennial TV actor whose Psychopathic characters are non forgettable. Here, he plays a dual role. One of these people is dead. And just because he's dead, does not mean you can steal his work!
This is the hard learned lesson, learned by my favourite character actor James Sloyan (Who in Star Trek Next Gen played the older "Alexander Rozenko" - Worf's son from the future, and in an earlier Next Gen ep, a Romulan Defector and "Varuul.")
Ivanek plays both an Autistic man and his "dead brother" - But in this case, both in the same Body.
Now whereas "Born Again" had some kind of religious or mystical feel to the process in which a dead guy can exact revenge - THIS Episode - Same Motivation for the Dead Guy - Uses a different mechanism. Said Dead guy is in a Frozen Meat Locker in the same building where his autistic twin brother works. There was already a connection, identical twins have been falsifiably proved to be connected in some ways.
So the question, is, can this guy whose HEAD is on ice, really be controlling brother Roland like a Meat-Puppet?
Well, Sloyan's character cannot chance even the possibility, so he turns the Frozen Head into Bad Meat left out of the Freezer. Ya KNow? Ever leave a package of Hamburger out of the Freezer for a few hours? How fast can Burger meat go bad anyway, eh?
I find some of the humour in this ep twisted and perverted, JUST like I Like It!
7-Up - You like It? It Likes You: You like it likes you! Also, never stick your head in liquid nitrogen. And, those old IBM keyboards are pretty heavy as James Sloyyan finds out!
