Cannot find a movie called "Deadalive" but there is an episode with that name. (S08E015)
I was just beginning to get used to Doggett. Why did you have to bring Mulder back? You should've just killed the character off. Now, you've got one foot stuck in two malformed underdeveloped world. You didn't commit and so no one committed to poor T1000. Also, what's with the forbidden love triangle - a sudden "love" turn from Scully for Mulder (No!) and from Doggett for unobtanium Dana? No worries - Mulder is still in love with Fox. I hate bad writing and breaking the golden rule... and lead actors who can't act (let them be abducted).
Here we go again.
I love they remembered about Krychek and Skinner's nanotechnology.
So the alien experiments on Mulder and those abductees made them kind of immortal until the transformation happens? WOT?
Survived months in the sea with no food or water. Survived buried underground for months with no food or water and with little decomposition. Makes no sense at all.
The vaccine supposedly cures the (quasi) gestational aspect inside the abductee because of the virus used on them? They don't have a vaccine to the gestation virus though, only the previous one.
An alien virus infecting an abductree and making a clone of themselves inside themselves which is not human but looks human but is alien? Or alien alligned?
The virus keeps the body alive enough until the transformation is complete. Why does it take so long to do it? Why aliens drop off the body in a near dead state? Why the transformation process so slow?
Why would Krychek want Scully not to have her baby? Why? Makes no sense. He would never do it anyway, and it makes no sense why Krychek would want that. Why even ask Skinner to do it? He could easily do it himself.
This UFO cult went around healing them to stop the transformation process to become an alien because it's a plot to take over the world. Why would aliens do it in this way, this extremely extremely slow and obtuse and inefficient way. Nonsense for drama.
Skinner tries to kill Mulder? No.
Krychek has survived too long. There was a perfect opportunity for Doggett to stop Krychek and end the Skinner Krychek storyline, along with getting the vaccine for Mulder and wrapping up this storyline.
How is human antiviral medication working against an alien virus?
What happened to Billy Myles? If he's an alien or alien alligned now?
There is good drama with Doggett, Scully and Skinner, but the plot is absurd.
Very good episode! I assume the title Deadalive refers to the 1992 Peter Jackson zombie film, Dead Alive (aka Braindead). It was really cool to see Mulder in the Hellraiser state in the past few episodes, and then "zombie-like" mode.

But Mulder isn't dead, he's in a state of suspended animation. Krycek has a vaccine to save Mulder who is pursed by Doggett. Doggett faces down Krycek, who drops the vile on the pavement, destroying it. But it just so happens that Scully has figured out that anti-virals could actually save Mulder, which they do. This leaves a touching reunion between a back-from-the-dead Mulder and a tearful Scully. The thing that really makes the revival of the Story-arc good is Scully's emotional roller coaster ride. I normally don't like the soap opera gyrations of story-arcs, but Gillian Anderson is so good.
Doggett's struggles are really well portrayed in this episode. The moment he enters the room and sees Scully embracing Mulder is really touching. Scully's reaction is interesting, too.
There is a chase scene in a parking garage when Doggett chases a car driven by Krycek. Robert Patrick (as Doggett) looks to be mimicking his own moments as the T-1000 in Terminator 2.
And someone please explain why Deputy Director Kersh is such an incredible dickhead!?!? I understand that he brings "the struggle" of the frowned upon X-Files department within the FBI, but with all of the evidence of aliens staring him in the face, he ought to consider Scully, Doggett, and Skinner to be among the FBI's finest.
Secondary characters in this episode: Billy Miles, Krycek, Monica Reyes, Kersh
