I admit,that its difficult(if not impossible) to make an episode about Demons that is not 'over-the-top'. The episode starts with a married couple expecting a child & taking a medical report on it.Their doctor finds some abnormalities,but says that its too early to jump to conclusions. After the first 5 mins.,you feel that its going the 'Rosemary's Baby' way,but a reference to the same,from Scully,puts this thought to rest.What unfolds is a decent story,with a small twist towards the end. I liked the way Mulder plays along with Laura's brother...making him believe that he is a cover-up(while Mulder has been ousted from the X- Files!) These are character-defining moments,& the writers have handled it well.Scully,on the other hand,is being quiet sincere with the awarded duties(meant to humiliate her) I can understand why X-Files fans,feel a bit cheated in this series...but then,its only a TV show! Chris Carter would have wanted to experiment with a new line of thought,& as a creative person,that is something you would expect out of him.So,I have no complaints.The episodes are still entertaining & good on humour quotient.Characters have been maintained,with some juggling of positions(which has been brilliantly shown) 'Terms of Endearment' happens to be a take on Rosemary's Baby,with added touches from the X-Files team.The production values are a bit on the lower side.However,the acting is very good.Supporting cast is good.I felt that they could have made the atmosphere a bit more tense...giving the 'chills' when some women is expecting a baby,or something of that sort.But the emphasis is on making a sympathetic antagonist,so it works well. Direction: 7/10.Acting: 8.5/10.Story: 7.5/10.Overall: its an 8/10.
