If there is one episode that couldn't have been made without a particular guest star, Theef is it. Billy Drago's performance is assured, charismatic and full of restrained power. Cara Jedell and James Morrison contribute great character studies, they manage to portray a family being pulled apart at the seams in a moving, but not overly sentimental way. The stellar writing team tell the story of a backwoods killer stalking the big city in such an imaginative way that its very, very difficult to know where to place your allegiances. The scene in which Peattie uses a microwave for the first time is both touching and menacing, but you know that in the hands of a lesser actor than Drago it simply wouldn't have worked. A tight and strong X File.
