This is probably one of the earliest X-Files episodes that I actually enjoyed and kind of felt the nightmare fuel that I'd expect. Not any other episode, except maybe Ice, but that one was too localized to almost be a real life issue. This one however is one of those times where you kind of think in the realms of possibility more.
I've always had a fear of flying insects, though mostly wasps/hornets/bees, the ones that like to invade your privacy lol.
But this episode though, does have a sense of value to light and electricity as a commodity, like what if electricity or light was scarce, to the point that if you don't keep the lights on, something _will_ turn your lights off~ so to speak. Light or even sunlight, to be though as a commodity to be bought or conserved, because if you don't, you'll pay for it another way.
It's just an enjoyable episode, that's not really part of the main mythology, monster-of-the-week type, but it's really good. I rarely make reviews here, but I just had to with this one!
