I’ve softened on this episode over the years. Actually, that’d probably just be a regular episode of Freakylinks.ġ80. Mulder and Scully go into a virtual-reality world, and it’s just as late-’90s/early-’00s as it sounds. Unfortunately, their second episode is a goddamn mess. “First Person Shooter” (Season 7, Episode 13)Ĭyberpunk heroes William Gibson and Tom Maddock wrote two episodes over the course of the series, which is very awesome in theory. Kathy Griffin’s attempt to pull off the role of two twins (the product of a sperm-bank donor to two different women) is probably the scariest thing to ever appear on The X-Files.ġ81. Every episode feels like one meta joke after the other, until it all collapses on itself in one of the worst hours of television you’ll ever experience. Season 7 is the series’ most self-referential season. * There were 202 episodes of The X-Files, but for the purposes of this list, I considered two-part episodes a single entry. The rebooted X-Files premieres as a six-part mini-series starting January 24 on Fox.
XFILE PREMIERE SERIES
Since every episode is available on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, you, too, can revisit the series and decide for yourself.
That said, it’s best to be forewarned that while the post-Mulder episodes of the series aren’t spectacular pieces of television, I find season eight incredibly underrated (and miles better than season seven, where David Duchovny seems as bored as all of us were at that point), and I actually like not only John Doggett, but Monica Reyes, too. There are a lot of episodes of this show, so try your best to wade through through the downright awful ones (or just skip them, where I’ve suggested). These rankings are based on numerous factors: enjoyability, chemistry of the leads, scariness of the monsters, and effectives of the jokes, to name a just few things (obviously technical factors are at play too). The new episodes of The X-Files will air on Channel 5 in early February.The 10 Most Embarrassing X-Files EpisodesĪs a refresher course for the series we all fell in love with, and then slowly fell out of love with in later seasons, only to love once again once nostalgia kicked in, I’ve ranked every episode.
Our fans were allowed to think and come up with their own conclusions about some of the stuff we didn't spell out for them and I think they appreciated that."Īlso returning to the cast is William B Davis as the Smoking Man, while newcomers Joel McHale, Robbie Amell and Kumail Nanjiani will be among the guest stars. Pileggi said : "I think we gave the fans a very intelligent show. Mitch Pileggi also returns to the show as Mulder and Scully's boss, FBI assistant director Walter Skinner. There has been a huge amount of enthusiasm since we announced it (the new series|)."ĭuchovny added: "I think the themes that it deals with are universal and timeless, and issues of the paranormal and 'are we alone?' 'is the truth out there?' 'can we trust the government?', these are undying questions and are not related to the fashion of our clothes and our hairstyles."Īsked how they reignited their chemistry so long after they last worked together - the series began in 1993 and ended in 2002 - Duchovny joked: "We did some chemistry classes together," before regaling Anderson with a series of whispered recollections. The pair whispered and reminisced about the past at the launch of the new season at the California Science Centre in Los Angeles.Ĭommenting on the relevance of the show, Anderson, who can currently be seen in BBC1's War And Peace, said: "There continues to be enthusiasm for it.
