[edit] Summary
SUMMARY
[edit] Background Information
- According to Howard Gordon, the main impetus for this episode's creation was "desperation".
- This episode features the first time that Mulder narrates the story; instead of seeing Scully typing computer reports and hearing her voice-over wrap-up, the audience sees Mulder writing longhand in a field journal and hears his summation of the plot at the episode's conclusion.
- This episode, dealing with reincarnation, did not meet the producers' self-imposed expectations, as many felt that its premise was too similar to soul transfer or possession themes dealt with in several episodes broadcast around the same time. Howard Gordon was also dissatisfied with the final product, believing it to be "a little too cop showy" for his liking.
