About Triangle (The X-Files) in brief
“Triangle” is the third episode of the sixth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network on November 22, 1998. The episode generally received positive reviews with many critics commenting on the episode’s directing style. The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully who work on cases linked to the paranormal. In this episode, Mulder races to a luxury passenger liner which has mysteriously appeared in the Bermuda Triangle. Once there, he realizes he has traveled back in time to September 3, 1939—the outbreak of World War II. German soldiers have boarded the ship in search of a weapon that could ensure victory in the coming conflict. Mulder and Scully escape and find the Queen Anne only to find it is an empty ghost in the midst of chaos as the British sailors fight the Nazis in the ballroom. In the present, The Lone Gunmen inform Dana Scully that they have lost contact with Mulder, who had set out to search for the ship. In a later episode, Scully tries to confront Assistant Director Alvin Kersh who is seen with the Smoking Man. She finally threatens Agent Jeffrey Spender, before Skinner shows up and provides her with the information from the Pentagon. In another episode, the Lone Gunman find Mulder in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, looking for someone who can help find her missing partner, but Mulder is gone. He is taken aboard a passenger ship by its British crew members and is taken to the captain’s quarters, where he listens to a radio broadcast announcing the start of World war II.
He realizes that the QueenAnne did not travel to 1998: he hastraveled back to 1939. Several of the episodes’ themes have been critically examined, such as the concept of “dream-nazis”, the appearance of modern characters portraying those from the past, and the ramification that the entire episode was a dream. In addition, the episode features the main and recurring cast members such as Anderson, William B. Davis, Chris Owens, James Pickens Jr. and Mitch Pileggi, who played their contemporary characters as well as distinctly different characters from 1939 on board the luxury liner. The episode is filmed in a style inspired by the 1948 Alfred Hitchcock film Rope, with many scenes edited to appear as single takes. It earned a Nielsen household rating of 10. 8, being watched by 18. 20 million viewers in its initial broadcast. Mulder tells them to sail back where they came from, in order to pass through the time warp and re-appear in 1998. Once they are able, the engine is shut down, the ship is boarded by the Nazis and they are ordered to identify the scientist, or the Nazis will begin shooting passengers. After they have killed two men, they kill a woman who tells the Nazis that they are killing innocent people for nothing, and that one of them was the true scientist, but the men kill her.
