Freed from the shackles of it's myth arc, The X Files could produce episodes that were exciting, fresh and no cleverer than they had to be. Rush is a great example of a standalone no brainer that works and works well. The only downside is the chronic miscasting of Scott Cooper as Max Harden, Cooper is a fine actor, but he is far too long in the tooth to pass for a high school student, the scenes in classrooms and hallways simply look ridiculous. It's an unusual lapse from a series that frequently amazed you with it's inspired casting. At the other end of things, Nicki Aycox is mesmerising and Rodney Scott somehow makes a character that should be annoying not annoying at all. And the ace Bill Dow is ace. Watch Rush after a hard day at work and feel alive again.
