Summary
I'm generally intrigued by time travel stories even though I have a hard time wrapping my brain around the concept of it ever being done (whether or not the laws of quantum physics allow it). The teaser caught my attention and admittedly, led me to anticipate a better story than what we were ultimately served. I don't know if this one went too deep into the scientific aspects (although I had actually done some reading about tachyons many years ago) or whether it just wasn't a very cohesive script, but despite the intrigue of that opening sequence, the episode fell flat. On the surface, it seemed a simple enough idea — scientist sees opportunity to correct a perceived evil through time travel (isn't that always the case?) — but I don't think I ever connected with the players in this story and therefore didn't care as much as I should/might have.
Best or Worst Moment
I liked how Mulder was portrayed as having paid so much attention to Scully's graduate thesis that he can quote broadly from it. Also, "You were a lot more open when you were younger." Ah. That explains a lot. A lot, a lot.
