“Three of a Kind”

No Mulder in this episode as we get a Lone Gunmen-centric episode. The trio is at a government convention in Vegas as Byers continues his search for Susanne Modeski, in a story that is basically a sequel to the Unusual Suspects, an episode from the second season.

We get Scully involved as a supporting character here, and Gillian Anderson was fun, getting a chance to see her act in a different manner than we were used to seeing Scully.

It was also kind of fun to see a cameo from Michael McKeon as Morris Fletcher, who was in the episodes “Dreamland.”

This was the perfect definition of a filler episode. It was a fine episode, but nothing that really stood out. It was enjoyable, but certainly nothing that is necessary for The X-Files.

There are only two remaining episodes in season six before we move onto some major transitions in the X-Files universe.
