Anyone remember the classic Xfiles "Ice" Episode

Tonight on CBS's Medical Investigation or whatever its called, it looks like they're doing a scene by scene rip off.

1. Apparently they both borrow from Howard Hawk's The Thing

CONNOR AND CO. ENTER DEEP FREEZE AS BRAIN DISEASE OVERWHELMS REMOTE ARCTIC SCIENTIFIC BASE -- Dr. Connor (Neal McDonough) and his elite medical experts chopper into a frozen Arctic scientific station to probe a deadly brain affliction that climaxes when its victims fall into dementia. As a whiteout snow storm strands some of the team on the tiny base camp, Powell (Troy Winbush) begins to display the same frightening symptoms.


When an Arctic research team mysteriously kill each other and themselves only days after drilling deeper into the ice than ever before, Mulder and Scully accompany a team of doctors and scientists to investigate.
They discover an organism which infects living creatures and accelerates the host's feeling of anger and paranoia and the agent's colleagues on the expedition begin to question their government knowledge.

2. Is that the NBC show?

I wasn't a big X-Files fan at the time it originally aired but I do watch it in syndication.

I just happened to catch this show last week and literally groaned when the "cure" was discovered to be Cuban cigars. :eyes:

I think we're talking about the same show, if not TV really is even more derivative. :o
