2Shy is one of only two episodes written by Jeff Vlaming. This episode was written back in 1995 when the internet was still in its beginning stages. I like how he attempted to tackle the issue of people meeting romantically online. For its time, this episode was probably quite unique. Virgil Incanto is a nasty bad guy who preys on lonely overweight women to get what he needs. If they were to make more

2Shy is one of only two episodes written by Jeff Vlaming. This episode was written back in 1995 when the internet was still in its beginning stages. I like how he attempted to tackle the issue of people meeting romantically online. For its time, this episode was probably quite unique. Virgil Incanto is a nasty bad guy who preys on lonely overweight women to get what he needs. If they were to make an episode like this now , Virgil would probably be a pedophile trying to get an underage girl. As Scully was wearing shades a few episodes earlier in D.P.O., it's Mulder's turn to wear them. For some reason they can't wear them simultaneously. The skeleton in the autopsy room looked like it was in a pan of tomato sauce. That effect left something to be desired. You need your medical dictionary to understand this episode, as lots of "big" words are used. I like the scene where Virgil is in his apartment, he hears a knock, answers the door, and it's Scully. But the scene has actually jumped and Scully is really at a different apartment. Cool transition. During the climax, there's some funky synthesizer music playing. It seems a little out of place and odd. Check out 2Shy, it's a good episode that deals with the current issue of online predators.
