The best episode, overall, of the season yet. It almost made it. This homage/remake of the 1982 film The Thing (including a number of direct references) almost made it through an entire episode without doing something obviously stupid. It's the first episode with no outright cringe (outside of characters doing something moronic), which was a relief. Granted, I was young when I first saw The X-Files, but I was beginning to think I had it completely wrong. This is a nice 6 out of 10. Almost a 7. There's no excuse for unintentionally bad writing. Content is king. Then again, based on this episode, I may not be the person writing this.
