Trough serial killer's mind's eye
1 July 2019
Mind's Eye is a good episode it could have been better but it was okay. I don't like the episode is not my favorite in the fifth season, but Lili Taylor's performance is worth of watch. Mulder and Scully try to find out why this girl commite those murders and she confessed, first looks like she protects someone, but it tunrs out the serial killer is her father and she is trying to hide from him.

Briliant idea in which she sees trough serial killer's minds eye what he is up too and she tried to stop the murders but she was too late. Mulder (David Duchovny) believs in her innocence. We have actor Blu Mankuma who plays Detective Pennock, he played the second time in The X-Files, his first apperance was in the first Season Ep: Ghost in the Machine. He also appeared in Supernatural Season 2 Episode Simon Said. Mind's Eye originated as a very different pitch.

Charles Wesley Gotts is a good serial killer played by actor Richard Fitzpatrick. Actually episode was dircted by Kim Manners who unfortunally is no longer with us anymore. He worked on manny X-Files episodes and because of him this show turned really good. He also worked on Supernatural episodes which I thought he directed really brillant scary episodes. Kim Manners and Lili Taylor are the reason why I gave this episode 7 not really my favorite monster of the week episode, but it was okay.

A blind girl sees trough killer's eyes. Marty Glenn continues the trend, a young woman left scarred by an act of brutality committed by her father. Really effective murder mystery episode, it could have been better in my opinion.
