Summary
This episode is better than Terms of Endearment and a lot better than Agua Mala, but unfortunately, the story still has all the markings of what I've never liked in TXF episodes: teenagers and their unspeakably misunderstood and miserable lives. Like Mulder said, I guess I'm "too old and stupid" to sympathize with them. That said, I liked the underlying premise of the story — although it was sort of intriguing when I saw it on Star Trek many years ago, too. It created a nice story that was well-paced and suitably X-File-ish, with better M&S interaction than in the above mentioned outings. But in the end, I was disappointed when Amann decided to take the easy way out and leave this one without any explanation whatsoever. I was along for the ride all this time and you don't want to reward me even a bit for having believed in it? Give me something!
Best or Worst Moment
Okay, because it is just so male, for best moment, I have to go with the Mulder "head turn" when he first encounters Chastity in the hallway. DD nailed the simple line that came after so well - "What?" - that you have to think, he's done that in real life as well! I know my hubby has.
