born again be a sub standard episode from season one . it deal with the subject of reincarnation and just doesn not fly . i have never be big on reincarnation and that could be part of my apathy toward this episode . it do reference the tooms case which be some nice continuation from the previous episode . but the positive end there . which be unfortunate because that take place at the beginning of the episode . i think it ludicrous that a dead guy would choose to reincarnate in the body of a completely unrelated girl . and he wait until the girl turn eight to start exact revenge . there even a serious lack of witty mulder and scully dialogue to keep the episode afloat . if youre into reincarnation and maybe this episode be up your alley . if youre not and then at least you can learn what bradycardia be .
