Superb!

Mind control, surveillance, and something dodgy coming out of the television, the pair have their work cut out.

I have been a huge fan of this third series, and lavished praise on it, I think perhaps this has so far pipped the others, and become my favourite episode, I thought this was utterly, utterly brilliant.

They haven't explored the concepts of mind control as often as I had expected, this does so in huge style, to me it has quite a vintage feel about it, there is something almost 60's about it.

We learn more about puppet masters and string pullers, and the relationship between Mulder and Scully is stretched and tested, we haven't seen that for some time.

I loved the imagery, that scene where that woman in her kitchen started to experience something strange was awesome, really freaky.

A superb penultimate episode, 10/10.
