Shapes

"The show should have tried to come up with a new angle on the werewolf story which is in desperate need of an overhaul."

-Michael B.-


The episode, "Shapes", originally aired on April 1, 1993. That episode of The X-Files was the 18th episode of the first season.

A rancher in Montana who is protecting his stock from a predator shoots it when it attacks his son -- only to discover the naked body of a local Native American man. Tensions between ranchers and Native Americans flare and Mulder and Scully try to piece together the parts of this mystery. Mulder reveals to Scully that they are investigating the very first, and still unsolved, X-File which was opened by J. Edgar Hoover himself. Mulder believes that it is a creature of a local legend of a evil spirit that lives in the woods, possessing the bodies of those in the forest. Scully suspects the local mountain lion population is to blame, but after Mulder hears a Native American elder's eyewitness account, he is not so sure she is right. His suspicions confirmed by a victim's blood test, he races to save Scully, who is trapped in a dark house with a powerful killer.

"I think that The X-Files could have come up with a better werewolf story. This is a bit too generic. The show should have tried to come up with a new angle on the werewolf story which is in desperate need of an overhaul. This is like an old fashioned monster movie. The X-Files should be about pushing the envelope not sealing it."

"This episode was boring. "Spooky Fox" was cute as always, though. :)"
