I think this episode is one of my favorites but I can also say that I too am troubled by the rape aspect of this story. I know it isn't meant to be taken seriously but I am bothered by the fact that no one seems to mind or actually use the word "rape". I think one can still like this episode while at least mentioning this troublesome aspect of the story. Implicit messages are important to detect in any story and the message here seems to be "because I am so pitiable and isolated, that makes it OK or exusable for me to force myself sexually on unsuspecting people". Really? Would Scully and Mulder really take him to a Cher concert rather than jail? Nevertheless I liked the photography, the music, the B movie aspect of it, and the reference to sensational pop culture.
