Aha, finally a case! I found myself sighing in relief even though the case appeared to be about something that we have seen countless times before - werewolves. But wait, this one came with a twist - a human biting a beast causing it to turn into a human being every now and then. We haven't seen this one before, have we now? The episode handled it with a good dose of humor as well. I especially loved the scene in which Mulder puts forth his arguments fully anticipating (and articulating) Scully's objections to every one of them.
The next episode reminded me of some of the cases in the original series - the ones that would have a good plot but would leave you confused and unclear at the end. This one started on a promising note as well - a murder is committed by a man who later disappears at the back of a garbage truck. But somewhere down the lane the plot got lost in philosophy. It didn't help that Scully's personal matters too were woven into the story. It was wrong to make references to Scully's relatives when it has been so long since the original series ended. Did the writer and director really think we would remember who Melissa and Bill and Charlie are? I remembered after 10 minutes that Melissa is Dana's sister who gets killed instead of her in a case of mistaken identity. When the caller ID on Dana's mobile flashes the name William, I seriously thought it was her son calling and wondered how Dana had his number given that she had given him up for adoption years ago. And I am still not sure if William and Bill are the same people or not. :-(
With two more episodes to go before this event series ends, I wonder what's in store for us.
