"Well, what can I say about "Emily"? I was really disappointed. I mean, it wasn't a bad episode by any means, but from the previews I was thinking shippy, shippy, shippy and I was kind of disappointed. This episode was a jumbled mess. It was so cluttered as the writers: Spotnitz, Gilligan, and Shiban, derpretly tried to fit everything into a 1 hour show, and that's without commercials. This episode had so many plots that I couldn't figure out which one to follow. Ok, the girl was an alien/human hybrid, but was that alien guy the Mighty Morphin Alien Bounty Hunter from Colony/End Game and more? Are there more bounty hunters, and what was up with those women in that sleep thing? They were being treated by the evil doctor (Sorry, but this evil doctor thing is really being played to death, not only on the X-Files, but everywhere! Get over it! I thought we were supposed to be suspicious of the government, not of our local doctors!) Still, despite the horrible plot line and twisted writing, Gilllian Anderson and David Duchovny still managed to save the episode by turning in excellent performances, and Mark Snow's music was emotional and tied in well with the episode. Oh, has anyone been noticing that Mulder has become quite violent? I mean, how did he know that guy was evil right from the start? Oh, and I guess this episode ends our shippiness peak. I had the feeling that Mulder was still in his 'I'm a lost puppy dog caught in a thunderstorm, and I'm cold and afraid. Please, hold me and tell me that I'll be okay!' mode, but Scully was really into saving the child, which I know was the right thing for the writers to do, but still, I was disappointed. I loved the Potato Head part! That was adorable! I thought this episode was going to be phenomenal because it was being written by Vince Gilligan and Frank Spotnitz, my two favorite writers, and I was even willing to give John Shiban a chance because "Elegy" was quite good, but I was actually very disappointed."

"Mulder arrives to kick some insidious child neglecting butt in the stupendous finale of this classic two parter. This season looks like it's going to be one imaginative whopper of a whirlwind tornado. The X-Files is a fierce twister storm of creative form, evident in the beautiful opening sequence to this episode. Bucking the trends at every turn, X-Files' originality is gathered by the investigative agents of ingenuity for utilization in the case against boring television. A panel of catatonic t.v. viewer analysts predict boring television will be prosecuted and sent to the rack never to be broadcast again, freeing the world from it's tyranny once and for all. (If only that were the case, at least there's the X-Files, the one show I can watch of my own free will without being issued a court t.v. subpeana.) This two parter is yet another Anderson, acting class classic, only to be added to her long list of classy classics. Take some deeply emotional character development, add some morphing of a different sort, and you've got a winning recipe fit for a death row convicts last meal."

"This was a great two-parter, and a great finisher. Really good acting, and it adds more mystery to X-Files. Like what do old people have to do with the plot? I only had two problems with it. I think there could have been more action, and they never really went into the Melissa thing, I think they could have explained why she kept calling. Oh and I loved the opening scene and the dialoge with it, very creative."
