A much better episode than I give it credit for, but it still suffers from too many vagueness and unanswered questions and that irritates me like hell.
But for the most part, this episode works very well. The directing is splendid, I love the scenes with the flashes of reality turning into delusions. Gillian Anderson is especially outstanding in this episode. She becomes paranoid by her own worst nightmare, of Mulder betraying her.
I loved the scene where she was hiding at her mom's house and Mulder had to convince her that it was all in her had. Again, some great Mulder/Scully moments here. It was nice to see Scully play such a different role, because she is usually the stable one.
X - i'm still not sure how I feel about him. He's a prick, but a good enough character with some nice mystery. He two-times both Mulder and Cancer Man. I appreciate that.
FOUR stars for this one. a very strong episode with some flaws.
