A great episode which sees Mulder pre X Files, looking back at a case which involved his dad.
Is it me, or does this show seem to get better with each and every series? There is a confidence about this episode, both in terms of a production and a part in the mythology of The X Files.
It's an episode that serves to explain in part why Mulder does what he does, and we get to learn the very origins of The X Files themselves.
Production values are off the scale here, it looks tremendous, they captured the era visually, but also in terms of spirit, the paranoia that would have very much been on people's minds at the time.
Superb acting from the whole cast, Darren McGavin and Dean Aylesworth both really stood out.
It's quite a chiller too, several scenes will have you squirming in your seat.
9/10.
