Mulder She Wrote

Episodes 18 & 19 of The X-Files season 1 seem to continue the series's struggle to find its own identity.

Miracle Man has been described elsewhere as something you'd expect in Murder She Wrote - which is not wholly unfair. Scully continues her proud tradition of inadequate or non-existent first aid skills, while Mulder unexpectedly gets some weirdness regarding Samantha.

Shapes is an absolutely by the numbers werewolf story. But at least it has Hawk from Twin Peaks in a guest star role. Scully has to be wilfully misremembering events in this one. And does this episode have foreshadowing for a season 9 episode (no).
