great guest stars with darren mcgavin, fred lane (as young dales) garret dillahunt. playing in the era of mccarthyism was a rad choice, paranoia at work- even j edgar hoover and evergreen shitbag roy cohn get appearances. the creature fx are super cool, particularly the boo during the autopsy scene.

intentionally funny sequence when dales partner arrives home throws on the tube and praises tailgunner joe only moments later becoming a victim of the skur monster. i feel like this ep gets overlooked, but its a strong one especially considering its the rare outing with no mulder scully dynamic

this be one of the more fun ones, since mulder has a slight air of resignation and envy about being left out, changes the dynamic a little
