The only script by Chris Brancato and Kenneth Miller (thank God!), whose credentials include "Species II" and "Beverly Hills 90210" (eek!), the concept behind "Eve" is silly, and the execution does nothing to improve on the base idea, with little good dialogue, no good character moments, and lots and lots and LOTS of stupid, scientifically laughable technobabble.
I really expect more from "The X-Files". Seasons 2 through 8, even with some lulls in quality, rarely featured episodes as generally dumb as this one, and for all the praise for the twin girls' acting among fans, they're pretty laughable really. This is exactly the sort of episode that makes season one so much weaker than most seasons of this show, and considering that it's supposed to be a highlight of the season in terms of standalone episodes shows how weak this is, generally.
4/10
