7/10
A somewhat mixed bag, but good overall.

The Lone Gunmen intercept an important call from The Captain of a ship, a ship full of secrets. Agent Doggett is intrigued by the mysterious woman with remarkable attributes.

It's a pretty good episode, it's by no means a classic, but there is definitely something here, there are rumblings, something brewing. We seem to learn things, and are challenged to question what we thought we knew.

It is dramatic, it's maybe a little confusing in parts, but there is definitely something here, worth continuing for, Follmer is interesting.

Super high production values, loved the panoramics and zooms, the explosions looked great, however, one little frustration, they may be guilty of a bit of over styling, Anderson and Gish appear as though they've just stepped out of makeup on every single scene, and Patrcick's makeup is too visible, this was never an issue in the early years, a little overdone.

I can accept Mulder's absence, even though I didn't watch the show at the time, I was aware of the frustrations of Duchovny, and his other project, which I did watch, I'm maybe struggling a bit with Scully's feelings towards Doggett though, they seem to have come out of nowhere.

It's one of the first episodes I come away from feeling all sorts of confusions, but on whole, I liked it, 7/10.
