It's a cool story. At first I thought that Skinner wanted to frame Mulder, and then that the Smoker wanted to frame Skinner.

Skinner probably walked with a compressed sphincter the whole series.

@Myrkar: A few episodes before, the Smoker said that he could save Scully from cancer, but Skinner would have to pay! so there can be no setup in the direction of Mulder)

A great series with great plot development! The smoker gets a kick for being scared when Skinner fired the gun at the end.)

And for the third time, reviewing it, I saw that Kavarubias was at one with the Smoker.. Don't trust anyone.

@baldarek: Mulder has a huge problem with them after a Deep Throat. but this is not surprising, because the young lady from the UN was "advised" by Mr. X, who himself was not clean on the hand

The plot of this series, as I understand it, is related to the movie "The X-Files: Fight for the Future", they also mentioned bees, and there were all these sinister guys, friends of the Smoker.

The most unpleasant thing (for me) about a Smoker is the way he holds a cigarette.

A wonderful series. Skinner is great, the Smoker, as always, brings a special charm to the story.
For the umpteenth time, evil insects have appeared in the series. Maybe the creators have a phobia of insects?)

The beginnings of sympathy that appeared in the episode "Smoker's Dreams" for this character disappeared completely after watching this series.
I like Skinner more and more.

What a gorgeous guy Skinner is, I just love it when I see him on the screen! Dana, honey, look, damn it, what kind of man is walking next to you, that's who you really would be like behind a stone wall!

Insect episodes are always scary... because it's too real, unlike aliens. 🙈

A rather curious episode in structure, reminding us that in parallel with the Department of Classified Materials, intrigues are constantly being woven and the game is being played at a much higher level. How much Scully and Mulder don't know and how hard it is for Skinner to balance between all this, considering that the smoker's arm is up to the elbow... Skinner.

And another blunder at 24:50. When a bee specialist comes into the house and tries to turn on the light, he is not at all embarrassed by the pitch darkness, although it is a sunny day outside and he basically does not have curtains on the windows.

And damn, Laurie Holden is so hot here! She is basically a beauty, but this haircut and a strict suit go wild for her, the eye is not happy, I hope for her appearance every episode)

What a cool guy Skinner is, what kind of adventure and blackmail he got into to save Scully, and surprisingly, well, just as a bonus, he has a great athletic figure 😅

What a deaf worker... Worse than me. There are so many bees there, can't you hear and see them all buzzing...
