: : I still say "Chosen One" was the bottom of the barrel. Number one, they already did the same thing in "Out Of Time" with Marge. This episode was abyssmal. I did not sympathize with Gideon, nor did I understand Roxton's wanting to help him so much. I can't even remember what the rest of the cast was doing, but I didn't like Marge playing backseat to that kid.: While I wouldn't put "Chosen One" at the bottom, it's still no favorite of mine. This aired post-"Resurrection", Roxton and Marguerite are out hunting boar for 2 days alone, so where's the interaction? Continuity? Even if the director had allowed a simple few signs (a hand on the arm, etc) that these 2 folks might have some sort of interest in each other, it would've helped. Of course, I may write my own episode addition as to what happened on the way home! : Marguerite got her choice barbs in though: "Okay, Chosen Boy, when do we admit we're lost?" "You don't want to leave him in the woods, but me you're willing to abandon! Men!" : Janet I agree that the writer's should do more to show there's a relationship between them. I hope they don't prolong the tension between them as long as they did Mulder and Scully. I think there is a fine line between putting two people together too soon, and in waiting too long to do so. I hope TLW writers can find that in-between, and not keep us in suspence for too long. Of course that's relying on Roxton surviving the fall.
