Soft Light is a mixed bag for me. I think the concept of having a deadly shadow is interesting and fun. At the same time, I think it's too ludicrous of an idea to take seriously. In the end though, the first point wins out and I can say I enjoy the episode. It may lose a couple of points because of it being too fantastic of an idea. Also, they never explain what Dr. Banton's connection with Margar more
Soft Light is a mixed bag for me. I think the concept of having a deadly shadow is interesting and fun. At the same time, I think it's too ludicrous of an idea to take seriously. In the end though, the first point wins out and I can say I enjoy the episode. It may lose a couple of points because of it being too fantastic of an idea. Also, they never explain what Dr. Banton's connection with Margaret Wysnecki is. Mulder finds an Amtrak train ticket in her garbage to coincidentally lead them to the train station, but that's it. Why was Dr. Banton in her house? That aside, Tony Shalhoub does a fine performance as Dr. Chester Ray Banton. X makes an appearance as well. His actions in this episode make you wonder on what and/or whose agenda is he? When the agents discover that all exits are locked from the inside, a subtle reference to 'Squeeze' is made, which is a bonus. This episode has some good Mulder/Scully dialog; always a plus. The special effect of people being killed by the shadow is a bit cheesy. Though for a TV budget, it's probably considered to be good. In summary, if you suspend your belief a little higher than usual for an X-Files episode, you'll enjoy Soft Light.
