Sure, it’s something of a “Ripped from the Headlines”/“Very Special Episode” of the X-Files, but the feel is loose and jaunty enough to separate it from the tired tropes of the countless acronym procedurals over on the other stations.
I beat on this horse quite often in this forum, but I can’t help but consider Breaking Bad to be in some small ways, a part of the legacy of the X-Files.
Is it just me, or does this season sort of feel like the dumping ground for story ideas that would have been used in the fourth season of Millennium had it not been cancelled?
