joelene February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 (edited) Now THIS ONE is hard to stay concentrated on and always has been. I'm watching it now (Saturday night sad sacking) and I keep fiddling with my phone. The sheriff is pretty dull. Are there any female sheriffs on The X-Files? Scully's wearing bland but normal clothes. No ridiculous blouses. Oh, Samuel just died. Snooze. ETA: Oh, right, the stuff with the sheriff's disabled wife is pretty interesting and waitaminute the sheriff killed Samuel?! I don't remember that at all. Well there you go.

Taryn74 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 There's two people in this episode I feel really sorry for - the sheriff's wife, and Samuel. I think Samuel honestly believed he was unwillingly killing those people, but his father wouldn't let him not be a part of the "ministry" anymore ($$) so there wasn't anything he could do to stop it. Watching this one again now (after coming to know the main characters so well) I was a bit shocked that Mulder didn't immediately turn into a jerkwad as soon as religion was mentioned (like he did in latter eps). The fanwanker in me has decided that Mulder believes Samuel was somehow playing him for a fool by bringing up Samantha and his "dark pain" and he was so hurt by that, that it caused an irrational hatred of anything having to do with religion. (No I don't really believe the showrunners had anything of the sort in mind, but it's fun.) Link to comment
