We've seen "monsters" of this type before--some sort of mutant human with a weird need they get from feeding on other humans. What sets this one apart is that the episode is shown from his point of view, and makes him sympathetic by showing his struggle to resist his urges before he realizes they're too strong. | |||

As an X-Files episode it's kind of a big deal. Literal zombies rising from the dead, which Scully flat out sees and does not forget by the end of the episode. An apocalypse seemingly averted. And the protagonists kiss. | |||
As a Millennium story... ehh. It really oversimplifies the membership and methods of the Millennium Group if it really boils down to the handful of individuals present in this episode. Doesn't really offer closure in that regard. A few nice Frank Black moments, and that's about it. It doesn't even show Frank's ability to see visions, which I assume was to keep things simple for people who hadn't watched any Millennium. | |||

Weird to see The Walking Dead's Hershel without a beard. | |||
As a sequel to the previous episode with Donnie Pfaster, I think it takes kind of an unfortunate turn. Originally he was one of the show's few instances of a guy who was a real dangerous nutball, but without anything particularly paranormal about him. Here they make it clear that's not the case. | |||

708: '''The Amazing Maleeni''' ''[[2000]] [[January 16]]'' | 708: '''The Amazing Maleeni''' ''[[2000]] [[January 16]]'' | ||
Now this is a fun episode all around. | |||

Once again the episodes focusing on the show's overall story fails to excite. The name and episode ending would seem to indicate this is the end of the "What happened to Mulder's sister?" storyline, but it raised more questions than it answered and what supposedly happened didn't make much sense--or at least have a decent enough explanation that made sense within the world of the show. | |||
