ice the limerick representa virus pull out of the icejust do not know how to play nice . if infect you will killbecause you be ill. the cure be to be infect twice . ice be a great episode while one of the great from season 1 that begin shape the show and if you ask me you really couldn not ask for much good throughout the entire series . it start out with an awesome teaser which in my opinion be really one of the best teaser of the series also . a group of scientist in alaska have drill something out of the ice core which have for some reason cause them to kill each other . now mulder and scully be send with three other scientist to investigate what happen . a mulder say this be either because they be brilliant or expendable . i take this to mean that they have good be brilliant or else . the group soon find out that the cause of mayhem be a small parasite pull out of the ice core . a little worm that get into the bloodstream and cause violent behavior . since the pilot be infect the rest of the show turn to a suspenseful sort of who do it paranoiac thriller a the others begin to suspect each other of be infect . this be not help at all by an overly paranoid doctor hodge who be un trusting of anyone which we learn early on by the first thing he ask represent to see everyone credential to make sure we be who we say we be . event lead to find out the one who be infect and learn how to cure them . there be a number of thing i like about the episode and of course certain character that i want to smack in the face from this episode and as well a a couple loophole but most can be attribute to heighten caution and not think clearly . i like bear from the moment i first meet him . it a shame he have to die . i also like the scene show from the other scientist point of view a mulder and scully argue in the other room . it give an interesting twist to our typical perception a a viewer and for me seem to say maybe we shouldn not assume that just because someone be government mean they know all sort of conspiracy secret . as much a hodges frustrates me in this episode i do think that mulder be as much to blame for some of the rash action take a any . i really like scully in this episode . first of all she can tackle like a frickin linebacker . second i really like the focus on her terror of what can happen to them out there and how she try not to let trust and friendship of mulder keep her from bias her judgment . i love the scene when she go into the room to sleep and first look a the picture of the previous group all hugging and the birthday present from them to whoever use to sleep in that room and then how she suddenly freak out and push the dresser in front of the door and in a final touch of subtlety a she sit on the floor with her knee pull into her chest we see the bottom of a poster on the wall that say bosom buddy . this be such great writing . a way to say without any word that scully be worry that she may not be able to trust even her very best friend . unfortunately this heighten suspicion lead the group to believe mulder to be infect since he discover murphy dead body even though they haven not inspect him at all to find out for sure . that be my main problem with the behavior of the character be they could easily have solve all the suspicion simply by give blood . but i guess i probably would have act rashly in that situation too . but then stupid hodges decide that he have to assume mulder be infect even though mulder willingly surrender and then be go willingly to be inspect and almost infects mulder in the process . luckily he see that it be really dasilva that be infect and we finally reach a resolution . at least as much a you can expect from an x file . the government waste no time in torch the evidence a always happen in these case and mulder be leave with yet another frustrating unsolved case . in close i give ice and easy positive and i leave you with a haiku . be not who we be . it go no further than this . it end right here right now .
