      Everyone says season 6. Which is bullshit. There’s a lot fun episodes. Season 7 is hit and miss but for some good ones like X Cops. Season 8-9 get a lot shit but they’re better than Nu Files revival 10-11, which just awful

            Oh here's a good one from S4E15 - Kaddish.
            From wikipedia:
            >"Kaddish" was written by Gordon due to his fascination with the legend of the Golem from the Kabbalah. Originally, the script called for the antagonist to be an African American "Louis Farrakhan-like" character, but Fox was concerned that the show's increasing popularity with black viewers would be damaged by this, and Gordon agreed to make the villains into, in his words, "cartoonish neo-Nazis"

        It gets so fricking moronic it beggars belief.

I also like how they completely fricking forgot the black oil shit makes badass chestbursting warrior aliens after the movie and the episode immediately following it.

          I love the arc resolution, where Mulder gets willingly abducted along other people, in a meet-up in the middle of night, deep in the forest, by aliums.
          Then, he gets returned and found apparently dead. There's a funeral and all that jazz, I think that's the part where Scully is paired with another agent. Then, they find out that abducted people who were found dead, actually revive on their own, perfectly fine, so they scramble to dig him up. Indeed, he's found to be alive but it also happens that he's a human-alien hybrid now. Man, what a ride.

          Black oil was cool as a concept of a liquid lifeform, but they went full moron when it was revealed that people infected with black oil look for a very warm place, typically their homes where they set the heating to the max, sit down and after a short time a fricking grey alien bursts out of their ribcage. Even as a kid I was like "wut?"
          And let us not forget a whole faction of aliens who is apparently in conflict with the Colonizer faction and they get jumped by faceless dudes with flametorches. Cmon...

            I mean it's not that much of a stretch, if the oil is "alive" it can do whatever it wants. Including making an alien babby inside some government drone.

            The guys with the torches are the alien rebels. They're the same ones that cloned mulders sister and the doctor gregor guy. Jeremiah Smith was also in cahoots with them. That's why they body one of the alien bounty hunters, can't recall which episode that was.

      it doesn't really overall shit the bed until season 7 when duchovny gets reduced to a cameo and the chemistry of scully/mulder is gone and couldn't be reproduced with the new guys.but there are certain elements of the main plot, the so-called mytharc that gets increasingly moronic as the seasons go on. established plot lines begin to get reinterpretated/rewritten, absolutely silly stuff gets established and the mystery that was built-up by the conspiratorial tone of the earlier seasons becomes a buffy-tier clown show, in a mediocre/bad way that finally ends in the middle of season 6. it becomes rather obvious they ran out of ideas after that since they didn't manage to write the same compelling idea as the of the original alien/glowie conspiracy which they milked for years with their mystery-box writing, leading to the quality drop past S6.
      that said, the monster of the week episodes are really good throughout all 9 seasons and even the mytharc episodes can be extremely kino if you brush aside the moronic overarching lore.
      other might've mentioned already - don't bother with even thinking about watching anything past S9

        X-Files was ruined by "mutant of the week" episodes. I get there were budget reasons, but it's so boring for most of the episode just ending up as "police procedural but with a mutant". There are far better ways to do it, like with Folie à Deux.

          Well I won't disagree that some Monster of the Week episodes were duds, but I can't agree with you that the show was ruined by the format of perhaps 60% of episodes they had been running since season 1.

            X Files was suppose to be mutant of the week. There wasn’t suppose to be over arching myth. CSM was only suppose to be in one episode. Same with Deep Throat, Lone Gunman, Skinner. Writers went on early message boards saw that fans liked them so they brought them
            back. Whole mythology was created because Anderson got pregnant mid season and needed close X Files and separate the two the second season when she’d be a balloon. And alien abduction so could leave show temporarily

            Emphasis on MUTANT of the week, not monster of the week. When your monster of the week is just some regular dude who has lightning powers, there's no fricking mystery.

            I knew when I was going through that season that something was up with Andersen and they had to scramble to write her off for a few months. I figured she was filming a movie. But pregnancy fits too. Anyway I hated that arc because the banter between M&S was the heart of the show! You can’t have a sandwich with just peanut butter. You need the jelly to balance it.

    why do people downplay the myth arc or as i call it the conspiracy. Its the best part of the show.

      as is the fate of many shows the failure to stick the landing (or in x files case the absolute mess the plot became in later seasons and the abortion known as the revival) retroactively makes people skittish about the whole thing. which is a shame because as you said the early stuff is outright kino, and people need to learn to just enjoy the ride and get off at the right time

        It's really the joke episodes that ruined, they did the sane thing in Millennium.
        Millennium started off as the darkest show on tv ever. Then you can tell the exact episode it took a nose dove off a cliff in the second season.
        The offending episode actually starts off somewhat serious and dark then slowly evolves into comedy and self depreciating humour by the writer inserting himself in the ep. Its nuts.
        Even though theres a few good eps sprinkled into Millenium in its three seasons

    By S1E4, Mulder and Scully suspect him of a few things and give him the name "Cancer Man" because of his ever-present Morley cigarette.

    By the middle of S1, he is suddenly called "Cigarette-smoking Man" or "Cigarette Man" only, and no mention of cancer.

    This is the only real conspiracy in the entire series: that big tobacco threatened Fox network with a lawsuit for linking cigarettes to cancer.

          You’re calling it filler episodes because they don’t apply to the “main narrative.” There wasn’t suppose to be a main narrative. Every TV show in ‘93 was stand alone episodes. Biggest sci fi show, Star Trek The Next Generation was almost all stand alone episodes. Only over arching plot you had was The Borge and season cliffhangers. Networks wanted this because didn’t want people who missed a episode to leave the show because wouldn’t know what was going on. TVO and DVRs were the game changers for that

      >she lived but she just vanished with a bunch of nice ayys but not the kind of evil ayys trying to colonize us
      jesus christ what were they smoking?

      it was dumber than that, they attempted to cross the paranormal and scifi arcs.
      She was saved by fairies

      they were called star something, star travelers? so my assumption was ayys
      but you're right because it was basically magic in execution and the description of where she went felt more like an afterlife than a proper place
      still by far the most baffling decision in a franchise chock full of them, given how huge finding her was to mulder in the early seasons then that was their resolution in some mid season slop

      Yeah but there were dozens of Samantha clones at one point.

      two separate variations actually, the adult ones who are involved in like 2 or 3 episodes and the child ones who were in 1 episode and maybe the first film? they were mutes at that canadian ayy farm for sure.
      but after so many headfakes for that to be the final resolution for the original samantha is crazy

      Yeah but it turns out the X-Files/Lone Gunmen fiction was basically true. This the Current Year +9, not 1999. We know, and they know we know.

    >well we did “x-files” in that we looked into ufo and other weird phenomenon
    >but yea we don’t actually have a secret collection of “X-Files” squirreled away somewhere.

    glowies are moronic. Why deny something they just said was true

        >there are real life Mulders out there chasing aliens, ghosts, cryptids AND they're being paid for it

        I wonder if you're talking about "that" episode, where it's revealed that a famous baseball player, the best one ever, is actually an ALIEN who LARPs as a black guy. He saw baseball on his ayyvision and dreamed to be a baseball star ever since. When he got his UFO flying license, he instantly traveled to Earth, chose his disguise to be a Black and became a superior baseball player due to his extraterrestrial skills. Finally, alien immigration police officer shows up telling him to GO BACK or he's kill. He choses the second option and dies bleeding red, non-toxic blood since apparently he wanted to be human so badly, he became one in the end.
        Yeah... THAT episode... We don't talk about it around here.
