Summary
This was very good. (And Brad Dourif was excellent.) As a first season outing, it was an interesting peek into Dana Scully's psyche. Via the background story involving the death of her father, we learn how controlled she is and how she yearns for affirmation. In terms of how she reacts to the actual x-file, in later years, I would lament the fact that she sees things and ignores them. Here — for whatever reason — she has an open mind about what she's experienced and even tries (for awhile at least) to convince Mulder of it. And when she later pulls back, at least we got a straight answer from her of why: she's afraid. Such honesty is appreciated — by both Mulder and the viewer.
Best or Worst Moment
With Mulder out of action and his life in danger for the latter part of this adventure, we get to witness a rare display of Scully passion when she unloads on Boggs and basically threatens to kill him herself.
