"The X Files" Trevor (1999)

He wanted that..., 14 December 2006
Author: Rodolfo Anzaldua from Mexico
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
After a very bad episode "Alpha", Trevor is a very good one. First of all you don't know why this episode is called like this until almost the very end. This is not a story about a convict or a murderer that escapes out from prison, this is a story about redemption and forgiveness, even a story about the great love a father can feel for his unknown child.
A guy that can walk through walls may be a cliché but the way this story is told is so different from any other that can be alike. Dark as most of the X-files episodes, this is a quick one that goes faster than a blink of an eye, a must see for X-Files fans even than it's just a Monster of the week show.
There's something so nice about putting on a brand-new pair of socks. I don't know what it is., 22 November 2009

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
A very simple storyline. Some inmate suddenly is able to walk through walls. But not glass. He uses this ability to kill his warden and escape prison. Everyone assumes he is off after his old woman to get the $90,000 he stole. Especially as he writes on a wall "I want what's mine". But when he finds this woman, he doesn't seem to have even thought about the money. Somehow he knows that she gave birth to his son and wants to know where he is. The boy's name is Trevor, and he has been raised by her sister. Supposedly he is 7 but that kid looks more like 10 to me. Anyway, Mulder and Scully show up as Pinker is trying to take the kid and he ends up naked and running after them and scaring the crap out of his kid. This causes him to have second thoughts about what he is doing and he is cut in half by a windshield and Mulder lectures the lady about not giving him a second chance. The end. Not a very interesting story if you ask me. I kind of liked Pinker Rawls. He seemed like a very interesting character and he had a point about the new socks. Too bad he died and was crazy. I give the episode a 5 out of 10.

The episode is as uninteresting as the title, 12 March 2007
Author: Muldernsanta from Washington Terrace, Utah
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Trevor, as the title so expertly describes, is the name of the boy who Wilson 'Pinker' Rawls is trying to find. That's the show's "big mystery". Pinker Rawls, a bank robber serving time, miraculously escapes from prison during a destructive tornado that levels the shack where he was confined during the storm. It appears, as Mulder and Scully suggest, that this tornado gave Pinker the ability to pass through solid objects, except for glass. We are lead to believe that he's looking to recover the money he stole that was never found, and will kill anyone who gets in his way. The big reveal is that he is actually looking for his son by his former girlfriend. The story itself is not compelling, a storyline I think I've already seen a half a dozen times on the Lifetime channel. Also, Pinker's abilities are confusing and inconsistent. First, how does he discover that he can pass through walls, but only with his clothes off? In the middle of the tornado? I think I'll strip my clothes off and jump through this wall. And then, because he can walk through walls, he naturally assumes that bullets won't hurt him? That's mighty presumptive. The bland, uninteresting story, along with outlandish, inconsistent abilities of Pinker, makes Trevor one of the more forgettable x-files.

I Want What's Better, 19 October 2006
Author: (andyetris@yahoo.com) from Philadelphia, PA
Wilson 'Pinker' Rawls (John Diehl) is a hick convict with lots of chips on his shoulders who gets unnatural abilities from... oh, another magical X-Files lightning strike, I guess... Anyway he can now walk through almost anything to get what's his, and only one other person knows what THAT is! Scully and Mulder must find some way to stop him before he turns yet another law enforcement officer into toast.
A lack of consistency affects all of season 6, and Pinker, who loses all his clothing when passing through SOME walls and carries off sneakers at other times, is a sad example of it. Although we are presumably supposed to find something touching in the intentions of this murderous jerk, it's about as touching as an equally murderous certain someone with an awfully similar issue earlier in this same season! Not one of the great "monster of the week" episodes!!!
