missed it. What was it about? Did it continue the story? or just kinda mess around with subplots?

This is a good example of a show that should have ended one season ago.

I agree, with 5 eps left I sure would have been doing much better stories than that..... The last ep belongs in the 2nd or 3rd season, not one of the last ones ever.

Same here. He looked freaky when he showed the picture to that girl. Evil smile!

I agree that it shouldn't have been one of the last episodes, but I guess it's not sweeps yet. I still thought it was a decent episode, not great, but decent.

I agree it was good but I expected every single ep from 10 to (when they started the countdown on FOX) to rule.... I mean all the loose ends they have left over the years should have been answered and yet were treated to decent eps... If I was the writer I would have had a 5-6 hour (episode) long episode over the alien ship. Im sure there planning on ending with the alien ship but geez theres only 4, maybe 5(cant remember right now) left....

I liked this episode; although, I did not like that blonde chick. She was awful.

"I wonder what Mulder and Scully would do!!!"
"Mulder and Scully blah blah blah"

I don't know if she was intented to be so annoying by the writers, or if she's just a really bad actress.

It was a decent episode, for this season anyway. The kid was very freaky. The Scully scenes were funny too.

Agent Harrison was in an episode last season I believe. She was more annoying then, though I suppose that's because Reyes wasn't there to offset some of her annoying-ness.

I was really expecting these last episodes to be all about the main storyline too. Nevertheless, if Reyes dies next episode, I'll be a happy man.

For those who don't know, this episode was a spin-off of an old Twilight Zone episode. The basis of the story was the same... a little boy with essentially omnipotent powers controlled the lives of the people around him. The only difference was that the boy won in the Twilight Zone episode.

The Simpsons had a very funny spin-off of the same episode several years ago on a Halloween special.

Are you kidding? Obviously that was written into the episode.


I thought this one was pretty good. I really liked the one last week with Burt Reynolds though.

It's actually a short story by Jerome Bixby called It's A Good Life. It was adapted to the Twilight Zone. I read that story in high school as part of a Literature of Science Fiction course. That was a fun course! :)

NONONONO....I meant the WHOLE SERIES should have ended a year ago. They're really beating a dead dog here.

Well, give me a little credit -- I'm not stupid. Of course she was given those lines, but it was more her tone that I was getting at.
