“Kill Switch”

AI rear its ugly head once again on The X-Files and this time, Scully get to kickbox a bunch of evil nurses.

What?

It was a weird episode that featured an armless Mulder, action hero Scully, and a computer programmer trying to prevent an AI from going worldwide.

It included a couple of laser beams from a satellite targeting our heroes from space, leading to massive explosions.

I saw a lot of love for this episode online, but to be honest, it was not a personal favorite of mine. The whole Scully does roundhouse kicks seemed silly to me and it damaged the tone of the episode, in my opinion.

It was always nice to see the Lone Gunmen once again and their jaw-dropping idolization of “Invisigoth”, the hacker involved with the AI, was very funny. Her attitude toward them put them in their place too.

Overall, this episode was fine and the armless Mulder scenes were scary, but I just was not as into this as some previous X-Files episodes. It was far from bad, but I just did not love this one.
