According to X-Files writer James Wong (the co-writer of “Squeeze” along with Glen Morgan), Longstreet “had no respect for us, or our ideas…In fact, he had no respect for the script.” Wong described how the director “didn’t shoot coverage” and didn’t even film one of the scenes from the script. A more reserved Wong later agreed that Longstreet “was a problem.”
One of the reasons these two X-Files writers hated Longstreet’s work on “Squeeze” is that his alleged failures soon became their problems. For example, Wong had to help shoot additional coverage and the scene that the director had originally failed to film. Chris Carter later called production of this episode “painstaking” owing to the fact that “there were many reshoots.”
