YMMV / The X-Files S01 E23 "Roland"

• Hilarious in Hindsight: A Black Comedy case, but Roland’s method of killing Dr. Keats includes dunking his head in liquid nitrogen and having his frozen head shatter (the latter thankfully being offscreen). About seven years after the episode’s airing, Jason X included the exact same Cruel and Unusual Death, in a manner that became much more infamous on account of it not employing a Gory Discretion Shot.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The basic premise of the episode is "a mentally challenged man is mind-controlled by his dead twin", which should be enough. However, the episode really goes out of its way, flashback scenes and all, to tell you that the man's parents basically dumped him as soon as they figured he's disabled, apparently because they saw having a disabled child as unbecoming of their social standing, and that the twin brother never forgot and went to great lengths to locate and contact him. All of this is detailed enough that it could serve for a premise of a whole new episode, yet has at best a tangential bearing on the plot.
• The Woobie: The episode involves two sympathetic mentally disabled people who were abandoned by their family because they didn't want their social standing affected.
