"I had the strength of your beliefs" ugly sobs
What a strong episode. The relationship between Scully and Mulder is just really outstanding... touching... and everything.
A lot of onions in this one.
I was so hoping the aliens would keep Scully.
An episode that pushes the story forwards but it didn't really include a case of any kind.
Lots of dreamy sequences while Scully is in a coma. This one pretty much tries to pull the tears out of you, which I always dislike and there will be much more of in later seasons. X executes someone in front of Mulder. Cigarette-Smoking Man talks Mulder out of killing him. It was unexpected to see that CSM lives in a rundown old apartment. We see Scully's Dad in a dream sequence who tells her that it is not yet time for her to die. I think he actually says the words that he just mouthed in a dream sequence in Season One's "Beyond the Sea", which was kinda freaky. The Lone Gunman find that Scully was experimented on with the goal of dynamically changing her DNA to have it catalogue her. I'm assuming it's in an effort to not a have to use implants like she found in Duane Barry.
Secondary characters in this episode: Lone Gunmen, Cigarette-Smoking Man, X, Melissa Scully

This was a very weird episode, the imagery of Scully in the boat and everyone else being on the dock was interesting though. Also, it seemed like someone maybe got a little too excited with the tape or the tape just didn't stick right in the nineties, and it seemed like half of it wasn't even doing anything.
