Summary
Red alert — bad Star Trek retread on the horizon! I admit that the concept is intriguing (just as it was for ST) but in both cases, the problem of resolving the plot is insurmountable. How can the physical changes that age a person's body ever get reversed? If it can be done, we would no longer have old age, or people dying from it. Unbelievability aside, however, we were treated to some interesting, introspective moments from both of our heroes as they consider their fate. (Mulder, it seems, will maintain his sense of humour right through to the end.) In that sense, we saw some realistic emotional responses, such as Mulder's comment about how this is "not fair", along with Scully's newfound wisdom about life as a result of her recent ordeal.
Best or Worst Moment
Not so much worst moment as worst makeup. Too bad DD didn't raise the same sort of stink as William Shatner supposedly did and request that they lighten up on the number of "layers" being applied to his face. I somehow suspect that DD/Mulder will age a lot more gracefully than what we were shown here.
