Upon rewatch, I actually find the episode pretty amusing and watchable for a random episode of The Lone Gunmen. When it first aired, I resented killing off the Lone Gunmen as some sort of misguided “screw you” to Fox for canceling the spinoff series. 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.

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 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. I can't give any predictions as to when the remainder will be completed but it will be finished. Season 9 will be added when episodes air in Australia (from February 2002).Hey, the worst X-Files episode is still better than most other shows on TV.Īs I said on my main page, I'm gradually working through this guide and adding all the missing episodes. and my personal rating of each show (out of 10).the pain factor (if Scully or Mulder are injured).where have I seen that face?
