I love S4 for all the angsty Mulder/Scully character and relationship stuff, but I do find a lot of the MOTW episodes to be nearly entirely forgettable.
but the sympathy doesn't really work when the story being told is of him tricking women into sleeping with him
Yeah. I mean, it's a fun and funny episode, but that element of it is VERY problematic. The very same issue comes up in The Post-Modern Prometheus, when women are impregnated without their knowledge. WTF XF writers? This is what happens when there are no women writers on staff.
Elegy is the first script by John Shiban that I haven't completely hated
Heh, I always forget that Shiban wrote that one, but it's probably one of his best. I always think of it as being a solid scary/sad episode.
