Although I do prefer the "alien myth" episodes, Beyond the Sea is a favorite. Brad Dourif is outstanding in his performance, not just in his "talking to the dead/describing where the killer is" but in showing the regret and fear of a man going to the gas chamber. It was also very nice to see Don Davis in the role as Scullys father. With very few lines, father and daughter showed a relationship between two people still in the process of learning to show emotions. After his great role in Twin Peaks, I found it comfortable to know he would also be a part of the X Files universe. Brad Dourif and Don Davis are the type of actors you can always count on, when it comes to great acting.
