A nice literal script from an X-Files episode

Lately I've been watching all of the seasons of the X-Files with as much as once a day (usually during lunch) and I'm now at the last season (season 9 - which, at first, aint willing to see on TV because Fox Mulder wasn't in almost any of the episodes in this season) and I've come to the episode "Lord of the Flies" which was originally aired in the US on December 12, 2001. It tells the story of a kid who seem to have an attraction to bugs when his pheromones activate and how the FBI agents search the clues of the incidents that happened around the deaths of a certain school kids close to him.

While we know the boy is different and he's going through puberty stage as he fell in love with his schoolmate friend, the mother resists it as she knows the consequences of it.

taking the 'literal' point of being different out of the weirdness of the episode (well it's X-Files, what do you expect?), the conclusions told by Agent Dana Scully sounds like this (note that I emphasized the significance of being different in bold caps):

Four more bodies were found in the attic
including that of his (father), long reported missing.
He, like the others, fell victim to the (boy)'s mother
who, in the (doctor)'s expert opinion, was neither human nor (insect)
but something in between, a biological anomaly
who's difference from the rest of the humanity
could be hidden only for so long.
However strong the boy's yearning to fit in,
to win acceptance, to love and be loved
He could not defeat unseen forces which direct behavior.
In the struggle between our desire to determine what we will be
and the identity which biology defines us,
There can only be one outcome.
But even in victory, there are forces biology cannot defeat.
The stirrings of the soul,
the mysteries of desire,
the simple truth that the heart wants what the heart wants.

heero is not a Qatari, he's an alien. I met him once or twice. Very strange.

I especially liked the 1st and 2nd season of Millenium that focused on more religious prophecies tied up with murders. Wonder what that says about me? :-P

But now I will jump to Seaquest DSV first after Ive finished my run on this X-Files series. And had been jumping on some Star Trek: TNG episodes and some cartoons of the 80s too.

So weird of me to try and pause the X-Files episode just to hear and type the words Scully said and save it on a notepad just to share it in this website. Dunno why. ;-P

That was one of my favorite series from the late 1990s.

I'll have to check out X-files again since I seem to have missed this episode.
