... because it was made by people who genuinely had fun with it. This show is entirely capable of lightheated comedy (as seen here) as well as serious drama (as seen with Scully's cancer).

I have loved this episode since it first aired; a breath of fresh air from all the seriousness of the X-Files. Amazing musical score, loved the b&w film used and a touching story. Simply one of their best bar none!

This has to be one of my favorite episodes. Some of the subject matter is uncomfortable, but at its most basic level, this is a story about what it means to be "the other." Really powerful stuff.

The father was a scientist. There is nothing in the episode that directly contradicts the idea that some sort of artificial insemination was done, not rape. It absolutely is an assault, but the guilty party who came up with and implemented the criminal plan was already dead. Additionally, even if I accept your premise that the "monster" was a rapist, since the women were sympathetic to him and happy to have the children in the end, it's not likely they wanted to press charges. If you don't have a complaining victim, you don't have a case to prosecute. Furthermore, it's almost impossible not to feel sorry for this man. He was far less morally culpable than the people around him.

So Wait! Everyone's cool with the rape part of this story? Cus at the end it seemed that way.

But honestly; I thought this episode was Hilarious, Awesome and Amazing. I thought I had already chosen my favorite X-Files episode, but maybe I was a bit too hasty. Because this one is taking the cake.
