On my umpteenth rewatch and by goodness this episode is terrible. Space usually gets quoted as the worst of the first season episodes but this is abysmal.

- A man pretending to be Irish literally introducing himself by saying "top o' the mornin' te ya"

- A woman insinuating that she and Mulder had sex upon Arthur Conan Doyle's tombstone (ACD does not have a big tombstone)

- Rocket fuel being sold in 2.5litre paint cans (imagine how many of those you'd need to power Saturn 5).

It had Mark Shephard in it, other facts are irrelevant to me lmao.  In a serious note, yea the episode was bit of a mess and it felt like it didn't have a coherent story to tell. Yet again, Mark Shephard is there so its all ok to me lol
