Guest stars Michael Bowen and Patrick Kilpatrick have an intriguing Of Mice and Men-esque relationship, but for the most part, 'Surekill' goes through the motions. Scully and John Doggett (Robert Patrick) look into the death of a man who was killed in his windowless, cinderblock cell by a pair of brother exterminators - one of whom has X-ray vision. The space program-obsessed Mulder acts like an endearing dork through most of the episode, which, along with Lauter, is one of this otherwise lackluster episode's few saving graces. The terrific character actor Ed Lauter plays a NASA commander who has been possessed by the face on Mars.

It's dreadfully dull, though the opening teaser sequence (repeated in full as the episode's climax, to much lesser effect) is suspenseful and nicely done.

Let's just say this murderous AI has nothing on HAL 9000.ДЄ disgruntled war veteran who can make himself invisible tries to assassinate the men hiding the truth about Vietnam POWs. Mulder and Scully investigate the strange case of a killer computer in the debut season's worst installment. You might know this episode as the one with the 'killer tree.' It's also one that Fox's standards-and-practices department censored, requiring Duchovny to re-record Mulder's utterance of 'dickweed' as 'dorkweed.' An insult to topiary everywhere. Director Kim Manners went so far as to make T-shirts for all involved that were emblazoned with 'Teso dos Bichos Survivor.' This Chris Carter-penned installment, guest-starring an extremely irritating Kathy Griffin in a dual role (just one of its many sins), is nearly sublime in its awfulness.Д®ven the cast and crew recognized this installment - about a cursed South American artifact that unleashes an army of killer kitty cats (many of them literal furballs on a stick) - as a stinker. The worst episode of any series should stand out in some way.
