"Interesting. Very, very interesting. Well, Krycek and Marita sitting in a, uh, boat...K-I-S-S-I-N-G...let me just say I was, eh, surprised by the Krycek/Marita relationship. Very surprised, actually. Mulder and Scully switched roles in this one, and I didn't really care for this. Yes, I know that Mulder's still in denial after the events in Redux I&II, but Scully-like? That scared me. Still, it was nice to see Scully open-minded, and ready to accept the truth...if it is the truth. This episode was a little bit confusing, but I understand that, like most X-Files two parters, the second part will clear up the confusion of the first part. Gillian Anderson's performance was excellent. She was able to portray the puzzlement over what was happening to abducties and her feelings about extraterrestrials very believably, and it greatly benefitted the show. Also, I have to give thumbs up to Nick Lea. As Krycek, he was able to make the audience really hate him, and, just as quickly, make them feel sorry for him. Overall, I gave this episode a seven because, even though I didn't really care for it, I had to give it points because, damn, Nick Lea looked REAL good!!! "The Red and the Black" should be much better, and I can't wait to see it. Oh, to take a wild guess, does anyone else think the CSM is behind the group abductions? Just a guess. Oh, and to Chris Owens' character...he should be interesting, but let's hope the rumors that he will be taking over for David Duchovny are false."

"Close Encounter communal experiences end, with the closing of the 90's, not in a glorius tour of the mothership, but by being burned alive. The direction the X-Files mythology is headed parallels the direction modern ufology is headed, which is toward a long term colonization program of the Earth by an alien race. With it's tying together of evolving 90's "folklore" (as a Scullyesque Mulder would say in this episode.. no explanation..just theories..) and fiction, the X-Files wisely retains the interesting psuedo documentary edge it had all along, as well as it's bite. Though the show (or should I say cultural phenomenon) always had great characters and a fascinating central plot, these characters and their experiences have grown through rip the implants out writing, and everything but anal probing acting. After years of crap, finally at long last, a show with true imagination and artistic quality...appreciate it...it doesn't come along too often...and although in a show like this, were talking excellence in every department, in this episode especially, you've got to love the lighting department, providing beautiful icing for a tasty fleeting cake."

"This would have gotten a ten, it's just that, for a two-parter episode be good, it must have a good ending. So I'm going to wait and see what I think next week before I give it a ten. Great story line, I hardly even minded that Mulder and Scully weren't in it as much as they usually were. I think it's an interesting change to have Mulder and Scully change roles, but it won't last. It's a good oportunity though to experiance what the other has to go through all the time."

"'Patient X' just left me feeling an overwhelming sense of ickiness. I understand what Mulder is feeling, but it's painful to see him turn his back on the world, filled with such bitterness and unrelenting, irrational skepticism. I want the old Mulder back. Soon. As in next week. I do appreciate the fact that they are bringing plot threads together, and I liked Scully's scene with Cassandra, and that saved this episode from a score of 1."

"While I don't really like to judge multiple part episodes until I've seen the whole story, this was a good solid myth. episode, despite some confusion I'm left with. But it's a two parter, so that's to be expected. They've got me intriuged with the sewn up faced men, Scully's myth, and plot, as well as the Scully/Mulder role reversal. I'll wait until next week to judge it any further than that."

"I thought that this episode was really good. I love any episode with Krycek in it, and Mulder's attitude was really funny. I cannot wait to see the rest of it next week."
