"Babylon" is an ultimately clumsy stumble from greatness. You are my struggle, Chris Carter. Stop doing this to me.

Wanting to believe is maybe the most powerful drug there is, and it can work chaos or miracles, or something in between. At its best, "Babylon" is somewhere in between those two poles.

It wasn't executed as well as I'd have liked, but I give it a 10 for the attempt.

The final few minutes, in particular, might be a new low point for The X-Files.

There's nothing like Mulder and Scully united in partnership. It's not so much that we'd refuse to watch The X-Files without them, as that it wouldn't be The X-Files without them.

I'm not sure the suicide bomber aspect would have ever been a good fit, but change the nature of the crime the two pairs of agents are investigating, and maybe "Babylon" is an amusing meta/passing of the torch outing. This, though, was a mess.

For what it was, it was a great conversation starter, at the very least, and undeniably redeemed by some choice Mulder and Scully moments for the ages. Hell, it was worth it for that "Magical Mystery Tour" sequence alone, really!

While Einstein and Miller's closing scene felt like the million X-Files-lite series that have popped up since the iconic sci-fi drama began, this bit on the porch is the real deal.

This episode was essentially high-camp, high-concept, only marginally intentional comedy.
