this have get to be one of the poor morgan and wong script i have ever see . i guess when you win you win and when you lose you lose . i think they use up all their creative energy on home and then just throw this crap together at last minute . first of all we will talk about script inconsistency and unbelievability . scully talk to mulder at the beginning of the episode a he walk outside into the yard to search for the extra victim say something like intelligence report no hiding place in the vicinity of the yard . then mulder walk out about 20 foot and find a wooden trap door in plain site . nice thorough job intel . next thing that really bug me be how much scully be against try to get information from melissa or sidney or whatever just because mulder believe her personality be past life . scully and the fact remain that this be the person that know where the weapon be and you need to find that out really bad so get over whether or not you agree with mulder or not about the origin of the personality and do your job . which bring u to kristen cloke . this be another of morgan and wong favorite actor to use in their show . she be in millennium for a season and be one of the main character on their space above and beyond show as well . i do not mind her that bad in millennium although she could get annoy occasionally and she be actually quite likable on space above and beyond and but she drive me crazy in this episode . why . she be way too eccentric with her alternate personality . especially sidney who be some kind of old guy with serious problem and for some reason always act like he be hold a cigarette . anyway i do not really like that character at all . i do watch the deleted scene where she act out a couple more personality that be actually pretty humorous and it too bad they cut them out because they could have boost the episodes quality . back to write . it sure a pretty darn good thing that the civil war lady memorize her journal entry with the exact date . seriously this sound like one of those actor read the journal entry that you hear in historical documentary . it also a really good thing the the library keep a drawer of civil war era photo and that they just happen to have both mulder and melissa past persona there . then there the hypnosis scene . i do not think i have see a more unbelievable scene act by david duchovny . it really too bad because i do not think it his acting that the problem but it seem that way because of the terrible writing . first of all no one that go back like that be go to take the time to explain who all the modern counterpart be to the people they be describe and they aren not go to explain the philosophy of reincarnation just in case someone in the room doesn not get it . c amon guy give the viewer a little credit . then there the fact that melissa be either mulder husband or wife or something in all the past life but in the current one she be a brief nobody . yep that make lot of sense . ok i think one more thing then i will move on to the thing i like . i wish they would have use the jonestown theme in an episode that be more about a jonestown cult and not one that be focus on reincarnation . anyone who be familiar with the true story of jonestown know that the story be a lot darker and creepy than what it be portray a in this episode and they could have do a much good job with that theme . what do i like . i really like the music in this episode . mark snow do an amazing job with the score despite the cruddy story . it actually make the view bearable . then i also love the follow dialog between mulder and scully representmulder represent dana and if and um . early in the four year we have be work together . an event occur that suggest or somebody tell you that . we would be friends together in other lifetime . always . wouldn not it have change some of the way we look at one another . scully represent even if i know for certain and i wouldn not change a day . ( she head for the door then look back . ) well and maybe that flukeman thing . i could have live without that just fine . ( she smirk and walk out . he smile . later and he and melissa be listen to the tape of melissa regression . ) great moment between them . a i watch i find myself want to like this episode but just can not because of the poor writing and try to force the explanation onto the viewer without let them come to their own conclusion . i do not know if that make sense . let me clear thing up by say negative .
