    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      First appearance of Alex Krycek, played by Nicholas Lea. Lea assumed a different role earlier in the series, in Gender Bender (1994).
    • Goofs
      FBI Form 302's are used to document interviews with subjects and suspects.

      Alex Krycek tells Mulder that Deputy Director Skinner "signed off" on the 302 that he hands Mulder as if that was an approval for them (Krycek and Mulder) to perform a task. That wasn't (as the form is no longer commonly used) purpose of the form and it wouldn't have required any "sign off."
    • Quotes

      Dana Scully: [perplexed] Somehow, this man suffered all the secondary, but none of the primary physiological responses to having been in a fire!

      Fox Mulder: Any theories?

      Dana Scully: I can't even begin to explain what could have caused something like this. I mean, it's almost as if...

      Fox Mulder: What?

      Dana Scully: ...As if his body believed that it was burning.

    8/10
    I like it very much.
    There have been some great weapons, and monsters, but this episode hits on a terrific concept, people that need no sleep, that's a formidable force.

    I enjoyed this very much, it's a very imaginative episode, it's dark, fast paced and very energetic, it deals with some very interesting concepts, it's very good.

    Mulder is on fine form, it's great that he's one of those affected by the threat in this episode. His new partner Krycek is good, and adds something different. Scully is still hidden away in her cutting room, Anderson being pregnant, they are very select in the shots of her.

    No complaints here at all, 8/10.
