The X-Files: Provenance (2002)
Season 9, Episode 9
4/10
I've quite enjoyed Series 9, but this wasn't good.
7 October 2022
A man is stopped crossing into The USA from Canada, in possession of images taken directly from the craft Scully found previously.

Ouch, I'm sorry, but they really were reaching with this episode, they're trying so hard with the mythology/story arc episodes, but they are just not working, and I'm afraid to say, that this is another poor one.

The monster of the week episodes are working so much better, this storyline, it's like as if it's tangled itself up in its own knots, they just don't seem to know where they're going with it.

The Lone Gunmen appear like The Three Wise men, Agent Doggett is walking around like some sort of bone head, and Agent Reyes, I just don't know what's happening there.

Credit once again to Anderson, who is the standout once again, and simply in a class of her own.

I hope there aren't a pile of episodes linked to this story, it doesn't work, 4/10.
