The X Files: The Field Where I Died (1996)
Terrific ambiance, mystique, acting.
Kristen Cloke's performance is remarkable in this episode. I loved her as Lara Means in Millennium, but her performance given in this episode is simply remarkable.
It's somewhat 'out there,' even for the X-Files, but it touches on a nice thought. The maintenance of all the great characters' relationships with one another lasts more than a life time, it gives them all a deeper connection that one could only hope for. The quirks such as Mulder referring to Scully as "Dana," for example, is a subtle one, but it signifies the closeness he feels with Scully. It exemplifies what Mulder is thinking, Scully isn't just his partner, they're friends who've a history pre-dating the FBI.
The episode has its faults, of course, but I won't go into great detail, others have done that. I can only say "for shame" for those giving it a one star review/rating. One star, really? It was totally watchable and deserves no less than a five, at least in my opinion. This is definitely an 8-9 episode. Try to be analytical beyond plot, which is a single aspect. The execution and acting matter just as much, and those both make-up for any weaknesses in the plot.
