“Teliko”

The X-Files does have a tendency to have episodes that are similar to previous episodes. “Telika” reminded me of “Squeeze” and Eugene Tooms. Sadly, this copy is pale in comparison, and not just for the lack of pigmentation.

It was cool to see Carl Lumbly in a role in this episode. I loved Lumbly in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier series, and he is a exceptional actor.

I also enjoyed how Scully wound up saving Mulder in the finale of this episode. She came through like a boss here. It seems that she is usually on the other end of the rescuing and seeing her as the kick ass that she should be is cool.

The rest of the episode was mild, very uninteresting and repetitive. It was done better in past episodes that are considered X-Files classics.
