- Weakest episode of the new season. Doesn’t quite succeed in making the apocalyptic events seem credible. And there isn’t enough Mulder.
- Delighted to see Einstein and Miller back. Einstein is particularly well used. But, again, the scenes with her and Scully aren’t quite as dramatic and tension-filled as the script would hope.
- The Mulder/Cigarette Smoking Man confrontation, however, is top notch and yields some very interesting ideas.
- Some of the dialogue was stiff and unintentionally comedic. Also unintentionally comedic: the sight of Scully confronting a mob of looters with a speech about going to the hospital.
- The cliffhanger? Unsatisfying cop out ending.
