The Colder Deader Eyes of a Killer

Episodes 22 & 23 of The X-Files season 1 really do show the variances of the series.

Born Again's major revelation is that Scully gets a front-row seat to some supernatural happenings. Which... she probably writes off as something mundane. Oddly, we don't get to hear her version of events in what feels like a re-do of Shadows.

Roland features perhaps the most cold and vicious of the villainous characters to date, but is a very touching and affecting episode with a possibly dark sting come the end. We agree this one is very good, if oddly the series could nail down fake-beard technology.
