And now,The X-Filesis back for season 11. will be spoiled, and looking at the details of one suggested route may spoil another.
But for all you arc-plot junkies, here it is.
Season One:
Pilot
Deep Throat
Fallen Angel
E.B.E.
Elsewhere, the arc plot continues to be extremely personal for Scully and traumatic for both leads.
The X-Files Movie
Season Six:
The Beginning
S.R.
AddThree Of A Kindfor a sequel toUnusual Suspects.
AddInvocationandEmpedoclesfor new main character John Doggetts personal ongoing story arc.
AddReleasefor the conclusion of Doggetts ongoing arc.
This is, inevitably, a highly subjective list of those we think were among the best.
So good it got a sequel, one of the few thats as satisfying as its forerunner.
AddGrotesquefor a strong and spooky Mulder episode.
AddSyzygyif you were a teenage girl in the 1990s (trust us).
Others (yours truly included) thought it was horrible and never want to watch it again.
So watch at your own risk!
AddTithonusfor a strong Scully episode with relatively little Mulder.
AddHungryfor an experiment in flipped perspective, and addHollywood A.D.andJe Souhaitefor slightly silly fun.
Redrum isThe X-Files backwards episode, whileRoadrunnersis a pretty straightforward but effectively put together bit of American horror.
In our entirely subjective opinion, obviously.
AddBeyond The Seafor more strong and heartfelt, albeit not overtly romantic, scenes between the two.
The good news is that theyre mostly very good episodes.
AddNever Againfor a very brief possible glimpse of Jealous Mulder.
AddChristmas Carolfor the first part of the story concluded inEmily.AddChingafor a frequently quoted line of Mulders.
AddThe Sixth Extinction Part 1and Season SixsBiogenesisfor context onAmor Fati.
Details redacted for spoilers.
AddEssencefor the first part of the story concluded inExistence.
We suspect most of the more committed non-shippers had given up by this point anyway.
These are the episodes that focus primarily on Skinner, Doggett, Reyes and/or recurring characters the Lone Gunmen.
Another Day in the Limelight for Skinner.
AddMusings Of A Cigarette-Smoking Manfor the series most important and oddly beloved recurring villains moment in the sun.
Three Of A Kind
More Skinnerin S.R.
819, and more Lone Gunmen inThree Of A Kind.
AddTrianglefor a story that has fun with Skinner, as well as Mulder and Scully.
Brand X
Brand Xis another Skinner story.
AddHollywood ADfor another bit of fun for the whole team.
AddThe Truth Parts 1&2for goodbyes to everybody.
AddProvenanceandProvidencefor the return of the Lone Gunmen to the show after a sojurn in their own spin-off.
Skinner fans should also be sure to check out the 2008 movieThe X-Files: I Want To Believe.
Can we believe anything we see or hear in this episode?
AddMondayfor a standard but particularly well done time loop episode.
Sunshine Days is the shows 200thepisode, its penultimate story, and seriously weird.
Perhaps us Brits dont get the love forThe Brady Bunch?
