Review of Milagro

The X-Files: Milagro (1999)
Season 6, Episode 18
9/10
A Writer Who Writes The X-Files
23 June 2018
'Milagro' is one fascinating episode, and again one of the great ones that are different from usual X-Files. There is serial killer on the loose who is removing the hearts of his victims without any surgical tools. Police and FBI are left with no clues. Also there is a lonely writer (fantastic performance by John Hawkes) with very vivid imagination. Is the author mad and living double life as a murderer and a writer? Or is his imagination so powerful that it has entered into the real, material world? How much are author responsible for their writings and how closely are writings connected with author's personality and mind?

Well written philosophical and tense episode with magnetic supporting character, and Gillian Anderson again excels.
