...A great myth two-parter of Season 4. Mulder travels to Tunguska, Russia with Alex Krycek, only to find that Krycek is once again the double-crosser and relates well to his fan nick-name "Ratboy."

Tests are performed on Mulder, concerning the "black oil" (the alien virus), and Scully is in DC at a hearing trying to cover for him. These episodes contain what is commonly called "Mulder torture" (we see a lot in the fanfiction world...). Nic Lea was great, as always, in portraying Krycek. All the actors were great in their roles, and this Mythology fit in great with the whole arc, answering a lot of questions.

Tunguska and Terma are must-sees for any Alex Krycek/Nick Lea fan! Krycek is one of the characters that keeps The X-Files interesting and this is some of his best work to date. With maximum Krycek exposure and an intriguing plot-line which attempts to further explain the intricate mythology of the show, these two episodes are excellent for any X-Files fan.

The two shows terma\tunguska are great. if you like the x-files then you have to see this video if you missed the two shows, and even if you saw them see them again.

The Tunguska/Terma two-part episode is definately one of the (in my opinion) best episodes of the X-files. It has a lot of the best qualities of the series, with a plot that even if you know the way it turns out keeps you hooked.

Scully always seems stuck trying to protect Mulder from their own government, and here she definately has her work cut out for her. Trials and tense situations make up her part of the episode. Mulder finds his way onto serious leads about the cancerman's plans and ends up in Russia; Siberia of all places! Not to mention Mulder's uncanny knack for getting into trouble. Skinner shows up also, and proves that having a desk job doesn't mean he can't punch. ^.~ Most importantly, is the continued uncovering of the conspiracy surrounding so many things around the world, and so many people. Not to mention, Alex Krycek is a major part of these two episodes. Even for those of you who are not fond of the character, you have to admit it gets interesting when he's around. (and c'mon, who honestly hates the ratboy?)

It's definately a good episode in that the plot and characters are very good, and the acting (as always) is wonderful. Beyond that, it's very good for any fan trying to piece together a bit more of that every elusive XF mythology!

Krycek and Muldur go after the "black oil" alien which took over Krycek in Apocrypha. Mulder and Skinner have a field day beating up a handcuffed Krycek. A lot is learned about Krycek's past. This is a must for Nicholas Lea fans. Scully is barely in Tunguska, but featured in the last half of Terma. Muldur is featured predominantly in both.

Finally Mulder and Cryzeg together again against the "Black cancer." Cryzeg losing his left arm? Freaky. If you love the intensity of the 'files' you'll find this pack hard to resist.
