Perfectly pitched episode. Phenomenal.
18 September 2022
On a quiet, sunny afternoon at The Office with Scully, Mulder spots something unusual, an image of The Alien Bounty Hunter, alongside some baseball players.

The best X Files episode of all? Maybe, I can imagine for some that this is just that, and rightly so, this is one incredible piece of TV.

It didn't surprise me one bit to see that this masterpiece was written by no other than David Duchovny himself, it shows someone who had a true understanding for the show, the characters, and dare I say it, the fans.

The humour here was perfectly used and meaningful, funny throughout, from Exley's revelation, to Arthur Dales's meeting with Mulder, I love that there was a sister called Arthur too.

Quite a sad story in a sense, you could see there was a real bromance between Dales and Exley.

Jesse L. Martin is phenomenal here as Exley, an awesome performance, and a smile that's genuinely quite something.

Pretty awesome visuals too, those special effects stand up all these years later, it looked so good.

I loved it, I had to watch it twice.

10/10.
