other than some familiar face and this episode have nothing special about it whatsoever . i have to say that this be by far one of my least favorite episode of the entire series . the episode seem to be try to make a kind of telenovela out of a chupacabra story and end up throw in too many stupid soap opera element so that the actual story that could have be tell get completely lose . there be so many version of the story at the end of the episode that not only be it impossible to figure out what actually happen and but neither do i care . like in hell money and the local cop who be suppose to be an intermediary for mulder and scully to connect with and understand the culture end up be more loyal to his stupid cultural ideal than to the badge he wear . i do not know why the writer think that just because someone be mexican or chinese or whatever that they will end up be corrupt in the name of culture and tradition and honor and blah blah blah . the story do not even try to explain the actual myth behind the chupacabra at all other than translate it to english for those who do not speak spanish . the actor and who supposedly be mexican and speak spanish a their first language and have less convincing spanish accent than i do and i be a hamburger and pizza lovin gringo . the main character and who i have see in a number of other show and have enjoy quite a bit and do not work well in this episode a the chupacabra . his acting be terrible . i know that this wasn not his first job and you would think the director could at least do a little directing and do some retake or something . ugh . the bad part be i might actually be able to enjoy the episode if there be an obvious attempt at parody here . but there isn not . it come across a be totally serious . i think i be do . other than some pretty cool special effect this episode be lame and not worth watch and i give it a negative .
