The episode had some funny lines, but as a whole, really died as a story. Especially with the generic "Oh my God, Mulder is trapped in the cyber-world" theme that seems to be visited in any mediocre virtual reality story...quick, Lassie...I mean, Scully, go strap on your Laser-Tag gear and save him. Whatever.
And the programmer girl was a disturbing stereotype. "I'm a lonely coder with no self-esteem, so I'll create my idea of a perfect woman because I'm so ugly and worthless...I just need a G-string, broadsword, and some Tekken 3 moves. Done!" Just because she's a female in a male dominated world doesn't mean she has to have little-to-no self-esteem and believe the perfect woman is a gun-wielding supermodel.
Part of me wants to expect better...but then again, the writer probably saw The Matrix and decided it would be kewl to do an X-Files episode like that. Sigh.
