Revisiting The X Files: S05 E04


S05E04: Detour

Surely we are hitting tough times when we are basically lifting a plot from a movie, but there we are. It's Fox and Dana versus Predator in this episode, where the FBI agents stumble across a scene with three missing men and no explanation as to where they've gone. They soon discover an invisible, or camouflaged, duo, who not only seem to be able to slip away undetected but keep kidnapping more people. We move away from the Predator theme by suggesting they are 'Mothmen', who may well be adapted men from 450 years ago.
Apart from all of this... well... nonsense... there is actually an excellent scene with Mulder and Scully in the forest, just in conversation as Scully tries to light a fire. It's the ebst part of this episode.  3.5/5
