"3" is only bearable if you are an X-Phile, because you can derive some satisfaction from the Mulderangst over missing-and-presumed-dead Scully, and the fact that Mulder is getting some.
1998 October 4, wherever [username], “Re: Worst Episode”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet)Perhaps the best piece of straight Mulderangst I've ever read and set to the harsh strains of one of my favorite poets -- T.S. Eliot. Not for the faint of heart, but an excellent journey into the dark caverns of Mulder's motivations and obsessions.
