wow . it hard to put into word my feeling for this episode . ice be one of the best episode of season one for sure . it my favorite of the season . six people and a dog in a claustrophobic structure isolate in the middle of the arctic with an unknown organism that cause murderous aggression and the drama can not get any good than that . paranoia reigns supreme a even mulder and scully have doubt about each other sanity . i have hear people complain about this episode similarities to the movie the thing . i haven not see it and so i wouldn not know . ice be more than worth watch just to see mulder and scully truly test their still develop trust of one another . this episode be intense and suspenseful to the end . you would not be disappoint .
