The medicine is better researched than the show. Some unintentionally funny things about cows. Characters feel a bit off - and the author certainly like to talk badly about overweight women - fleshy arms and a large strong woman who looked like she had an endocrinopathy. Also the way he describes Asian characters feels weird too. The prose can get a bit awkward. But the story is like a slightly below average episode. The skin transplant angle is interesting.

It’s missing the banter or humor. I think the bond isn’t quite there - not the respect nor the playfulness. But otherwise this Scully and Mulder are decent standins.
