This is a great episode, the ideia, the acting... I think it shows how X-files would sound "in the real world", and I'm here for it. I don't find it ridicules the show at all, I think it's closer to a real investigation and shows the frustration and difficulties it involves. GIllian is brilliant, and the guy who plays Deputy Wetzel is really good. It's refreshing to see the use of a shaky camera that makes sense. Nowadays it has become a way to shoot bad action scenes and hide the fact that they are awful. Here, there is a purpose for it, it would be weird if otherwise. I wish Skinner was part of this episode. The X-files has a stern feel to it, to its characters, that the absurdity of having them thrown into the real world is hilarious. I think it just goes to show how versatile shows that have stand alone episodes can be.
