One and Done Monster Episodes rocked the house.
The ongoing story episodes dragged on into perpetual boredom. Like a beta version of LOST.

Watching "Theef" right now on Netflix Instant.
Classic show - but yeah, the main arc really got lost up its own ass after a few seasons.

I actually liked the Doggett and Reyes characters. They were fresh and had backstory that could have been fleshed out.
There wasn't much left to do with the Mulder and Scully characters within the confines already set, so I welcomed different agents that weren't just some moles.

I preferred 'Millennium' myself. I marked out when the two shows crossed over. That being said - it always annoyed me in the beginning how wierd alien shit would happen while Scully was unconscious, then promptly stop once she woke up. I have no idea how Mulder put up with her crap for the first couple of seasons....

I loved this show. Well until Mulder left and the show went downhill. But you really can't come back from the main character leaving the show.
And for my money the best episode was "The Unnatural".

Watched The Calusari episode yesterday, I forgot how much of that episode feels like a horror movie.
Waht with the kid killed by a train, the dad being hung by his garage door, the odd romanian religous guys, chickens coming back to life to kill and the whole creepy kid factor. It was like The Omen or Exorcist on a 45 minute budget..

Great show until Mulder left. Season 2 was superb, the Duane Barry/Ascention/One Breath arc remains my favourite in the whole series.

That's a bleeping dead alien Ah, season three "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" one of my top favorite X-Files episodes of all time. The show is just a hoot and a half. It even has a guest cameo by Alex Trebek, Alex Trebek for crap shake.

I have no idea how Mulder put up with her crap for the first couple of seasons.... Rewatching it, I'm the opposite. Mulder is always assume the craziest thing first, he's very headstrong and defiant to protocol, and in a lot of episodes is very selfish; he puts himself and Scully in a lot of risk by some of his actions. He'd have been out of a job or dead a lot in those early years without Scully.

This show is my all time favorite show. Just ordered the box set off Amazon and can't to dive back into the series again. Especially the alien mythology. Just a fantastic show from beginning to end. And by end I mean season 7. Don't really care much for the Doggett episodes to be honest.

in the middle of re-watching the series as we speak
Man, seasons 6 on are really bad compared to 1-5. And it's a pretty sudden change between the quality of 5 and the quality of 6. Still some great season 6 eps, but it just wasn't the same after the movie.

Season 6 just had some of my fav one-shot episodes. I enjoyed Rain King, Unnatural is of course great, and as a Lone Gunman fan I actually bought this season JUST to get Three of a Kind.
