Revisiting The X Files: S03 E21: Avatar


S03E21: Avatar

I liked the idea of a Skinner-oriented episode, focusing more on Walter Skinner than on the principal agents. Unfortunately, it uses the idea tat he's been served divorce papers by his wife at the start of the episode, but it suddenly reconciled with her by the end of the episode.

Now... really... is that even remotely believable? If it has gotten to the point of papers being served, how does suddenly turn around in a couple of days? Anyway, apart from that glaring anomaly this episode shows that the X Files can work without having to totally focus on Mulder and Scully all the time. 3/5
