This episode is really disappointing, especially after the growth in quality and complexity of season 5. The story relies entirely on hoping the audience finds it somehow eerie or scary - if you don't, if you're more plugged into character, theme, depth or anything like that, then there is nothing to see here. Mulder/Scully revert to the same tired belief debate from earlier seasons, as if it's supposed to be interesting. It's just ridiculous, aimed at 12 years old kind of stuff. A shame considering Vince Gilligan wrote it. A far cry from his later grasp of story dynamics and depth of character.
