Yeah disturbingly The Post-Modern Promethesus pretty much endorsed Eddie's views in this episode, that no real harm was done with unknowingly unpregnanting those women, because they all wanted children anyway and were happy with the results...
And yeah I thought that Elegy did a pretty decent job with the visions of the dead women, the opening teaser at the bowling alley was especially creepy, it was mostly the reveal of the nurse as the villain that I had issues with, it just seemed so thrown in there out of the blue. It was definitely one of John Shiban's better efforts though!
And I actually didn't mind the MotW episodes this year as a whole, I thought they were all of a really good standard, it's the first three seasons where I find a ton of the MotW to be really forgettable and pointless. I liked how most of the season 4 episodes were more ambitious and seemed to tried to do something different each week, even when it didn't always come off (The Field Where I Died), and there was more character work for Mulder and Scully in a lot of them. I'd agree that season 3 had far more of the instant classic episodes like Pusher etc, I just hated working my way through episodes like The Walk and Hell Money to get to them
