I really hated this one. Right from the way the Mumbai Airport was portrayed - I doubt that there have been any beggars moving about in droves in any Indian airport at any time in history, let alone in 2001 when this episode must have been aired - to the disgusting plot that a man endowed with special powers, a Fakir if you may, avenges deaths of innocents by entering the body of the culprits from their rear ends and then existing the body, thereby killing them. The whole episode smacked very strongly of racial bias. Absolutely unpardonable!
Having said that, as the season 8 is drawing to a close, I find myself losing patience with Agent Scully. She seems to be walking about with a perpetual air of superiority over Agent John Doggett. Granted that she is more experienced in matters that are sort of 'out there' but her transformation from a healthy skeptic and a doctor who doesn't believe in anything that the medical science cannot prove to an agent who admonishes John for not having an open mind when he displays the same kind of skepticism is rather sudden. I am also growing tired of Fox Mulder's abduction. I think it is time to bring his story to a logical conclusion the way his sister Samantha's was. Now that he is found dead, please let him stay dead.
With a couple of more episodes to go before the Season Finale, I hope it is at the end of this season rather than at the end of the last.
