Listen "Eating Granddad"
Episode Synopsis
We're pretty sure people aren't too fond of Soft Light, but really it's a good episode with a great guest star in Tony Shaloub and exposes a whole other depth to the character of X otherwise not even hinted at.Sure, the science makes no sense, but this hasn't ever really stopped any other episode of The X-Files. Plus, this is the first episode written by Vince Gilligan who'll go on to produce some notable future episodes and some reasonably popular mega-successes.We've started keeping track of the genesis of X-Files episodes, and in the stakes of being as disgusting as possible, Our Town does win out. Currently at any rate. Not wholly sure what to make of Mulder's initial theory that is obviously wrong from the cold open.And maybe this should have lent into the blackly comic aspects of the premise...Support the show
