Quotes:
Scully: I went to go see those MUFON members to find out about that woman, Betsy Hagopian.
Mulder: And what did you find?
Scully: I found out that she's dying. Along with a lot of other women who claim to be dying too. All of them who say that they've had these implanted in them. It's the same thing that I had removed from my own neck.
Mulder: But you're fine aren't you, Scully?
Scully: Am I? I don't know, Mulder. They said that they know me. That they've seen me before. It was freaky. They know things about me, about my disappearance.

I Got Tired Of Losing My Gun, 5 June 2006

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Nisei is the first X-Files episode I watched and it's the episode that got me hooked on the series. This is the episode where you really delve into the alien part of the alien/human hybrid story. It also starts Scully's cancer arc. This episode has some great Mulder lines. It's great to see Scully's reaction as she encounters the MUFON group for the first time. Nisei has some good action in it, with Mulder chasing the Japanese diplomat, diving off the boat into the bay, and an exciting sequence at the end. It's the cliffhanger at the end that made me want to see that next episode. I had to wait an agonizing one week! Agent Pendrell makes his first appearance in this episode. However, he's not mentioned by name and his personality isn't shown at all. He just analyzes Scully's chip. Despite the good action sequences and Scully's revelation about her abduction, parts of this episode are slow enough for me to knock a couple of points off of it. But Nisei is still an excellent episode with a great cliffhanger.
