This was #5 on Jeffrey C. Wells’s list of favorite non-Darin Morgan-penned X-Files episodes that he and Shaenon posted on Skin Horse in 2012. He wrote at that time:

“I hesitate to put “Drive” on my list, because, frankly, it’s not
really that great of an episode in terms of objective quality.
“Monday” or “Triangle” almost certainly should have beaten it out for
my #5 slot, but …hell, I can’t help it. “Drive” occupies a special
place in my heart, because I was actually studying inner ear mechanics
during the time it was aired, and I like stuff dealing with ELF
radiation. Plus, I’m a big fan of constrained, limited-resource
stories, and this, combined with the tense and ultimately touching
relationship between Mulder and the carjacker, puts this one into my
top five X-Files episodes, um, not written by Darin Morgan.”

I should note that fully three of Shaenon’s top 5 non-Darin Morgan episodes on her own list are in this season. We’ve got some great stuff to look forward to!

It turns out sometimes paranoid conspiracy nuts are actually racist? I’m as shocked as Mulder is!

Vasquez Rocks! Woo! Recognised them instantly – since I drew them so many times for Planet of Hats.

Well, Scully does tend to do all the grunt work on the cases anyway – as long as she gets to autopsy that dead budgie she’ll be fine!
