This would have been a weak episode in the prime years. It had some of the old charm but wasn't particularly interesting. Seeing these characters, this old, after all these years, still dealing with some basic stuff like this is kind of depressing. I want these guys to grow up and move on. I liked that some of their dialog actually dwelt on exactly that. It's life or death stakes for the world and the X-Files isn't even a thing anymore, but it's sort of a thing again, and we're just working mundane cases just because... It's not working for me. Anyhow, I enjoyed it. Mulder fighting Mulder is fun. But what is this? The show limping off into the sunset or are they setting up to do another ten years without Scully?
