more puzzles for your opinion


As a dedicated X-File's fan, I Love this episode and wanted to comment on a couple of things that always stick in my mind after I watch it.

As the people and things effected by the mysterious craft's Light must be in its path to reverse, this does not explain Skully finding the dime/penny on the ground which was 'after' the Light reversed the station incident. Was it missed?? We conclude it goes in her pocket and after she figures out what's going on she must realize it is a result of it. However, at the end when Skully returns with Mulder and Fletcher for the Light to set things straight, the dime/penny in her pocket stays the same. I can only guess it has to be in the same place that it changed initially to change back thus the 3 teens and Mulder & Fletcher. And when Skully handles it again in 'Alone', with no memory she must chalk it up as just another X-File phenomenon.

I cannot find an explanation why Mulder finds his apartment clean which seems it shouldn't be however understandably left in for the humorous ending which was a great touch.

The only instance that seems out of place is when Skully goes to the Fletcher residence and speaks to Morris (Mulder) outside by the curb. When she walks away, the camera shows Duchovny's profile looking on - then switches to the car's mirror showing Duchovny's image who is McKean and then pans down to McKean sitting in the car waiting for Scully....
But I think after Scully walks away, the first image of Morris (Mulder) standing by the curb should be McKean. Does anyone feel this is right? Regardless of all that and picking this apart so, I Love Love this episode and my very favorite parts are Lana Chee & Captain Robert McDonough and when Morris finds out who the leak is HaHa!!!
