A lamprey eel man would have made more sense, but Flukeman it is. Getting away from the stupidity of Mulder looking for his alien hybrid sister, and the rest of the alien garbage was nice.

Unfortunately, Mulder manages to get in a few scenes of whining to his boss, Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and Scully (Gillian Anderson). I always wondered why nobody at the FBI (including Scully), took Mulder out behind a shed and terminated his employment. His constant whining is annoying. The focus on aliens, hybrids, black ink goo, Scully's mystery illness, etc. Is another reason to skip X-Files.

The good news is that the Flukeman was born on Earth, in Chernobyl, thanks to radiation. He wants to spawn more human-sized flukeworms, and he is swimming around biting people in order to do that. This would have been a great creature for a sequel, such as Son of Flukeman.
