| Not much to say here, unless I add more later. While I enjoyed the suspense of Scully's position, and the development of the relationship of Doggett and Scully has been advanced a little, Roadrunners was not quite as scary or suspenseful as I thought it might have been. Pros: We get to see how Scully slowly proceeds from isolating herself from Doggett to having an ounce of trust. Also, although the MOTW was nothing but a slug, it was still pretty gross, and I was a little surprised that it actually got into Scully. Maybe it's the mother in me, but those risks they keep throwing onto her pregnancy do keep me jumping. Con: It was just a run-of-the-mill episode. Nothing really wrong with it, but just not a standout. B |
