The show has been on my mind a lot the last couple of days, seeing as how we passed the date of the final alien invasion of Earth.
I guess Mulder and Scully saved the day in the end? A pity they squandered the second movie on a nothing story instead of properly resolving the damn story.

I was an uber X-Files fan back in the day. Though, I honestly found it lacking post first movie & then season five onward. Don't get me wrong it still had its' moments, however much of the original magic was gone. IMO, X-Files is one of those shows that should have ended two to three seasons before it actually did.

I agree that The X-Files should have ended with the first movie, but I love too many Season 6 episodes to discredit what came after entirely. Hell, I even like a good deal of Season 8, when Mulder became part-time and Doggett was new. It was Season 9 that the show went completely off-the-rails.
I'm also a big fan of The Lone Gunmen spinoff (which was weak at first but got very entertaining near the end) and Millennium (which takes place in the same universe, not just for the crossover in Season 7 but also because the character of Jose Chung appeared in a sequel to his X-Files episode)

The first few seasons were cool, but the show went on way longer than it should have. By the end, the show had degenerated into a soap opera and was a shell of its former self.

The Complete Series boxset is on my list this Christmas so hopefully I'll have it in my possession in two days.

Big fan here, I did prefer the ones outside of the story arc though. As has been mentioned Tooms was as scary as hell.

The corpse in the pilot is still the creepiest thing from the whole show IMO.

Monster of the week episodes were always the best ones, never to bothered about the over-running arc, although they could be interesting.

I still think Fringe took what X-Files did and did it better, and with better characters.

I like the one where they go hunting for the lake monster, which turns out to be an alligator, but the last scene shows that the lake monster actually did exist.

Actually got the full box (+movies) set recently, so now going through the whole series again. Having not watched it since I was about eleven it's amazing how much I had missed/forgotten, the conspiracy stuff is actually interesting me more.
Up to Irresistable at the moment, which is a really creepy episode. Might do an opinion of the stand alone episodes from season one later.
