This episode is widely praised for its portrayal of the subject matter. In the long run, it just made me feel icky, even (or especially) once the conclusion had come to pass. X File or not, I don't think it is a bad episode, or that the writing or characters were poor, but I just didn't like it. At all.
An inbreeding family, trying to conceive a non-mutant child, and burying every child that comes out malformed... yeah, I'll accept the paranormal or supernatural or extraterrestrial every day of the week, but this was just not particularly entertaining viewing in the least. 2/5.
