Featured review
Great cast saves the uneven plot!
Blood is a great episode in spite of having to deal with the relative absence of Gillian Anderson.
They bring in everything they can to make this episode memorable such as the Lone Gunmen's second ever appearance.
The supporting actors are great, such as John Cygan playing the police officer helping Mulder. He's very professional and voices his concern for the community which is a nice touch!
There's also the presence of an adult actress, Ashlyn Gere, who was apparently one of "the greats" in the industry at the time. Also a red head which might be a nod to "keeping the men watching the show" - kind of when they wanted to have Pamela Anderson as Scully at first.
The supernatural elements are quite weak with this one with mostly LSD induced paranoia - which was much better made in future episodes. They also combine, in a way, evil technology, but that aspect is kind of "explained away" which makes little sense.
There are many "bad guys" of the series who are so involuntarily, but the reason for why it's happening is also poorly explained, but again much better made in future episodes like season 5 "The unusual suspects".
William Sanderson is, however, great as the "main antagonist" and it's easy to feel sorry for him. His acting is top notch, way above David Duchovny and he steals the show every scene he's in.
This is one memorable episode that shouldn't be skipped out.
