This episode ascends to the top of any list about best myth/arc episodes. Ascension continues with the story of Scully's abduction by Duane Barry. It's great to see Mulder stop at nothing to rescue Scully. The idiot even gets on top of a gondola, hundreds of feet in the air! Then Krycek almost kills him by starting the gondola again. It would've made for a greater shock had Krycek's true nature been revealed in this episode and not the one before. Oh well. After they apprehend Duane Barry, Krycek is seen talking to Duane Barry. It would be interesting to know what was said between them. I like this episode slightly more than Duane Barry, because it has more action in it. The gondola scene is particularly exhilarating. Ascension is the first second-parter of a 'to be continued' episode, and it's worth the wait.
