The story of Scully's son, William, has been a flop in most of the episodes it's been a part of throughout the X-Files, even if you binge watch them all in a short space of time. This episode in particular was boring and lacks any kind of emotional punch. I simply do not care. The plot is uninteresting and has no stakes.
Gillian Anderson seems to be a worse actor now than she was in the 90s. Perhaps the biggest issue that is increasingly difficult to ignore is the fact that every line is delivered as a whisper. I don't know if she was suffering from a medical condition during filming, but if so, they should not have filmed it. She cannot hold scenes and is not believable when she tries to show emotion. In most scenes she comes across as wooden and like she doesn't want to be there.
