although this have nothing to do with the story line of the season or series and i find this to be one of the best distraction ( sidebar and segway and etc . ) they make . i be not really sure if numerology be the main topic and but on other hand just a minor . the plot be not impenetrable nor impossible to understand and it just take a little deep understanding . perhaps it be improbable . one thing i will add and be the clue of the color of the checker game and the player . everyone pick up on the agent correspond hair color and but i pose one of a few question . what color be mr. burt play with . while i can play with the idea of him be god and fate and or even death . there be only one conclusion that keep click all the right button for myself . there be a very old name for him and be pitch ( funny also because of it musical reference ) . for those jump up and down scream mr. burt help the agent catch the serial killer and i ask back and do he . or be he just really try to collect on a damned soul . or be he defy god plan of each victim death and by interfere . hell and be he just have fun at our expense . for those want a little more and i submit a few more overt clue represent the card use in the con game while the domino number show and not show while the ring on the killer while the doggett map that lead him while the count of the lead agent ( fordyce and james ) hand . i will leave that to the numerologist forte . for the rest i submit a few more thing and you should polish up on your french and italian . there be quite a few joke in there and but there be some very old song also and pass down from age to age through lore . it about the age old struggle between good and evil . it hard to translate . one be about i of my mother and and you . another be st happens ) . please refer to dante divine comedy for more reference . despite below review and this be one of the best of the xfiles and it to bad that the mind out there couldn not understand ( wave to az ) .
