Miracle Man

I don't think Miracle Man gets the respect it deserves. I think anytime you can add a twist to an episode deserves a positive mention. Miracle Man has you thinking that Samuel Hartley is killing these people through his powers, but his puzzling acceptance of it has you to confused as to what is really happening. It's a good guessing game that had me changing my mind till the end. I also like how they included elements about Samantha, Mulder's sister, linking this episode to the myth/arc in a small way. I think you walk a fine line when you produce a religious themed episode. You want it to be authentic without offending people or making it seem hokey. Miracle Man pulls it off well, making it a believable story. Some of the religious-themed episodes fall a bit flat. Miracle Man is one of the better offerings.
