It's funny how you can automatically tell what the episode is about by just what it's called (not generalising but it's true a fair majority of episodes have been based on their title which makes sense in the long run) and it's ironic how many episodes I've seen in younger years that come back to me, this is no exception this episode. This is a somewhat unusual case as it involves an investigator from Scotland Yard, who happens to be one of Mulder's old flames from Oxford University in England. The case revolves around a murderer who's a pyrokinetic (just say it has something to do with creating fireballs) maniac who enjoys killing people and sending love letters to their love ones. Now what I liked about this episode, it had a strong underlying plot and despite Scully's glasses (which made me cringe several times, for **** sakes Scully you look like a complete idiot with those glasses on, the complete opposite to what you're meant to be *throws a potato pie at Scully*) I found Gillian Anderson's character portrayal somewhat amusing and entertaining as she brilliantly plays on sarcasm and wit to make fun of her partner's old flame. I can't say much on David's behalf, as I found the character portrayal to be a bland and boring, but whoever played Pheobe (Mulder's old crush) has to be applauded for her Scottish accent (even if it is real). Dear Mr Chris Carter, you have done this episode well and I applaud you for it. Lots of love S *** p.s. I'm the girl that's been stealing all the x-files episodes out of your dvd collection.
