3X23 - Wetwired

Summary


There they go turning special effects folks into writers again... I believe this is Matt Beck's one and only contribution on the script side. (Television as mind control? Are you kidding?? Here we sit as living proof that this goes on ALL THE TIME. How else can I describe what happened to me during the years of watching this show?) Anyway... this hour had some noteworthy moments, as well as one hugely disputed piece of "canon". Who didn't feel the power of the confrontation scene between Mulder and an armed Scully at her mother's house? Who didn't wonder "what if" when we saw Mulder sitting in CSM's car? Where this one goes off the rail for me, however, is in its supposed tie-in with the show's so-called mythology. If that's the case, then once again, I'm amazed by the minute ways in which this conspiracy is carried out.

Best or Worst Moment


Worst moment is that "hugely disputed piece of canon" that I referred to above. Unfortunately, that bit about Mulder being red-green colour-blind did not appeal to many (on-line) fans, many of whom have since listed that fact as one that they choose to ignore.
