Season 2 of The X-Files opens in more than respectable fashion... With a compelling, well-written episode, which finds Mulder having a crisis of faith, and wondering if any of this nonsense is worth it. Wondering, in fact, if the catalyst to his lifelong obsession (the abduction of his kid sister) even happened in the first place.

A noticeable uptick in the show's production value, plus good scenes featuring Walter Skinner and a US senator played by the wonderful character actor Raymond J. Barry, are among this very good episode's highlights.

Daniel and I kick off the second season with a customarily cool discussion.

Dig in.
