I was shocked by how intriguing this was. When I saw the title I initially kind of rolled my eyes and went "well, I want to watch the whole season so might as well see this filler episode too". I was quite incorrect in my estimate that it would be one of the more boring Xfiles. The "black lunged son of a b" (as spoken by Fox Mulder in a previous show) is someone I could easily read a novel about. I wished this episode had been longer and look forward to learning more about him in the continuing seasons of the show. If you are considering missing this one, please don't. :)
