Without giving anything away, Dana Scully's feckless ineptitude in this episode strains credulity. Rather than calling in resources at her beck and call, she allows a caricature of a public official to expose the public to a potentially lethal contagion.
The passivity and helplessness of Scully and unwillingness to do what was necessary to protect the public was out of character and was little more than a device to keep the story going. Frankly, lazy script writing.
The supporting characters also were also pretty weakly portrayed.
I really like the X-Files but I barely made it through this one.
Now I am watching the next episode, Per Manum, and Scully apparently has no memories of the last eight years and all the evidence she came across of doctors using women as guinea pigs.
