Summary
This episode, along with Ice, were two of the best episodes of the first season with regards to the man against nature theme. Some have said that this one is a ripoff of the first one, but they both have some strong character-establishing moments for Mulder and Scully that made both episodes "keepers" for me. I actually liked the X-File component of this one — another of those strangely believable ones that had me hanging on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately, the threat of the bugs was not really handled consistently and the actual ending was a bit lame, but hey, it was a good effort overall.
Best or Worst Moment
Definitely the heated discussion that the partners have over Mulder's decision to trust Spinney. They're both right; Mulder shouldn't have acted unilaterally, but Scully should know that Mulder will make the right decision for the both of them.
Original Rating: * * *
