Firewalker is a thoroughly enjoyable episode, it's a return to the horror genre, and a change in tone from the previous group of episodes. After a mini story arc, this is very much a stand alone episode.
So let's address the elephant in the room, I'm a novice to the earlier episodes of The X Files z and purposely haven't read other reviews. A few days ago I watched Ice for the first time in years, you have to be honest there is more than a passing similarity, story, tone, threat, vibe, it does mirror Ice, but as Ice is a favourite episode, there is no issue. Firewalker takes it a step further, the moment of demise is very gruesome.
I loved the intrigue created by the opening scenes, a well placed shadow can do all manner of things.
Very good, 8/10.
