What a lousy birthday present for Scully. She has to go searching through a plane crash of a 134 people for survivors. Tempus Fugit is a good whodunit/whatdunit mystery. Mulder suspects an alien UFO, but of course no one goes along with it. Tempus Fugit has some cute Mulder/Scully moments, especially during Scully's birthday scene. It was interesting to see Scully joke about her implant. I don't think she's ever shown a sense of humor regarding that before. A good look by Mulder is when he glances over at Scully when asked if his theory is the official FBI position. The visuals for the plane crash site are spectacular. I think it says on the special features how the locals mistook it for a real crash site and phoned the authorities. Rob Bowman, the director, knows how to give his mythology episodes the look and feel of a full-length movie. It's incredible. While watching this episode, you don't feel as if you're just watching a TV show. Tempus Fugit also has a double cliff-hanger with someone's life being in the balance and Mulder in danger as well, leaving you to want to watch the second part immediately.
