Summary
I don't know — this one was quite off-putting to me when I first saw it and it surprised me later to find out that others have it in their top ten list! I don't begrudge CC's experimentation, but there was really nothing about this story that made me think, oh, that was great. I suppose the theme was admirable in a way (and of course, I have heard a certain segment of fandom complain about the cavalier treatment of what is, in fact, rape), although it was hardly original. But then, of course, you're saying, it was his homage to "whatever". Anyway. Didn't do it for me and I've since rewatched it a few times to see if my opinion's changed. Nope.
Best or Worst Moment
The best moment was the obvious one that wasn't even a real moment, technically speaking (as it was just a Mulder fantasy).The ending scene of Mulder and Scully dancing to Cher's "Walking in Memphis" is a TV image for the ages — too bad they didn't include as much footage as they actually shot. DD recently picked that scene as being his defining TXF moment, a potential image to mark the series' end. If only I could believe that CC will eventually do something similar...
