Trivia
The special effects were Emmy nominated.

Goofs
(at around 2 mins) As the Officer looks at Anthony Reed's driver's license you can clearly read that he was born on 03/01/1983 and the license was issued on 12/13/94 with an expiration date of 03/31/99. That would mean that the Commonwealth of Virginia DMV issued a driver's license to an 11 year old that would expire 30 days after he just turned 16, which was the minimum legal age for a driver's license in Virginia at the time.

Quotes
Mulder: Max could tell them. You know why you collapsed don't you, Max?
Max Harden: Yeah, too much teen spirit.
Mulder: You think? Smells like murder to me.

Monster Teenagers

Teenagers can move at an amazing speed.

I love these filler episodes or non-canon episodes that are about some monster-of-the-week. Am not a weekly viewer of X Files re-runs instead I just flick over to the channel to see if the show is doing a non-traditional hour like this one.

The way the teens get worn out after using their powers is well done and the acting seems fine to me. However, as a casual viewer, it did stand out to me that Mulder and Scully seemed to take this whole situation as so routine and just another day at the office.

Am no expert on the series as a whole but have seen episodes where Mulder was more interesting than this.

Whatever, when first viewed 21 years after it first aired, Rush is very entertaining.
