Mmm production is a little lacking on this one, "Writer Howard Gordon was disappointed with the episode, finding it too similar to other series being aired around the same time. He also believed that the episode seemed "a little too cop show-y" overall, stating that he did not think it "was very well executed on any front". David Duchovny also reportedly "detested" the episode, despite a guest appearance by his then-girlfriend Maggie Wheeler." could really go in the reception section.. I gather you couldn't find much on production?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
Like hens' teeth. I could comb over everything again to see what else there is to add, but most of the books are very sparse about this episode, and the Gradnitzer/Pittson book about shooting locations doesn't even list anything beyond the title. GRAPPLE X 13:26, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
