Interessante Folge mit dem Schauspieler den viele als "Monk" kennen.
This is Vince GIlligan's first episode for the show. Dr. Banton is involved in a freak accident in a particle acceleration and now anyone his shadow touches is vaporized or broken down (or something). Banton is taken by X and experiments are performed on him, well, more like he's bombarded by strobe lights in a lab. The camera zooms in on his face and a tear streams down it as a sound effects of pulsing lights runs through the end credits, which is quite eerie.
This was not as good as I remember it being the first time I watched it, but the ending really saved it for me.
Secondary Characters in this episode: X, Dr. Chester Ray Banton
An(other) interesting premise marred by characters behaving stupidly. It's a bit too vague. It left us... in the dark. Despite these flaws, it's passable. Just disappointing, as it easily could've been better. Content is king.
Thank God this is the only timeline where Abe Weissman can kill people with his shadow.
We are familiar particle accelerator from series like the flash. It accelerates electrons or protons to high energies.
In this episode, we saw a scientist. Who was willing to die rather than government had such a power which he built after years of hard-working.
But in the end, because of mulder , goverment (maybe not but probably the guy is working for government) captured him. That man who is helping mulder is not like deep throat. He protects mulder but also he protects and helps the goverment and secret operations. So he can not care about lifes.
In the final scene, the tear that came from doctor's eye was very tragic. They will get what they want at last and they will kill him and they will use this technology to destroy more people.
the ending makes me think of a clockwork orange.

Another great episode in a really strong run that makes up the back half of season 2. Tony Shalhoub is great as the paranoid and troubled genius, Dr Banton, and the special effects for the deaths inflicted by his shadow still look cool over 20 years later.
