I feel that Gillian Anderson is right about the hair, but you’ve got to love those tiny FBI badges.

This is a classic X-Files in the “bonkers idea” category, where they take a tenuous one-line premise that somebody floated in a writer’s room one time and just go balls to the wall with it. My favorite bit is after a bunch of over-the-top gore and weirdness, they close with a somber implied musing that maybe Mulder is now smoking LIKE HIS DAD DOES?!? sort of like Luke mournfully regarding his cybernetic hand at the end of “Empire Strikes Back” except way sillier.
