"The X-Files" Trust No 1 (TV Episode 2002) ⭐ 7.4 | Adventure, Crime, Drama (original) (raw)

Scully encounters a woman and baby, who's having trouble with her husband, Agent Doggett receives a communication involving Mulder.

So far it's generally been monster of the week episodes, the cheesily named Trust No 1 sees a return to the story arc of The so called Super Soldiers.

For the most part it's exciting and dramatic, rumours of Mulder's presence add a little bit of spice to proceedings. Best of all is seeing Scully centre stage and back to being the integral part of the show, too often recently she's felt like a spare wheel.

Paranoia overload, is there such a thing as free will? I've heard that before somewhere.

The plan to meet Scully was so elaborate, so intricate, that the scenes at the train platform just logically didn't seem to make any sense, despite being so well staged and produced. Why didn't he just........?

I felt that there were lots of good elements here, but somehow it was just a little too complicated for its own good, 7/10.
