Best X-files episodes?
>>64416723
They all suck. Shit show desu.
The one where Mulder says 'ayy' and Scully replies, 'lmao'.
The baseball one. Maximum comfy.
>>64416953
This.
The Bryan Cranston one 2bh.
I think we all know the correct answer.
>>64417098
Jose Chung's and The Unnatural are probably my two most favorite episodes. Also Triangle. I like seeing Mulder battle Nazi's on a ship.
The one where Mulder becomes a transgendered agent and joins the DEA.
Wait. Different show. Fuck.
>>64416723
the one where the albino sea creature gross looking man wiggles through the sewer pipes up through peoples toilets
Really picks up in the second season. The storyline that starts in the episode "Duane Barry" stands out on my memory as one of the most gripping television moments of the 90s.

>>64417267
I remember Duane Barry really strongly because it was the first time I ever got really fucking stoned, and for some reason I thought it would be an amazing idea to watch The X-Files.
It was the worst fucking thing ever. The weed made me so hyper-aware of everything, and the actor playing Duane Barry was hamming it up so fucking much that I couldn't watch TV or movies for months afterward. All I could think of was that he was acting like a !!!CRAZY WACKY DUDE!!! and totally !!!CHEWING THE SCENERY MAN!!! and that the rest of the actors must have been cringing so hard internally and it drove me insane
Weed is scary when you have autism
I liked the episode where mulder tries to convince skully that aliens and the supernatural are all real, and even after she sees proof with her own two fucking eyes she denies it and brushes off all of mulder's proof as him just being crazy.
>>64416723
The one with the vampires
Wait, there were two. The SECOND one with the vampires. The first one sucked
>>64417531
The buck teeth Luke Wilson one? That one's awesome.
The one that gave us the chopshopped gif of scully getting her tattoo
The episode with the alternate history and young cigarette smoking man
>>64417531
>The first one sucked
>>64417531
The first one as in the one where immediately after Scully is abducted, Mulder goes to California and fucks that hot chick who was working for a vampire or whatever?
Bad Blood...
Super comfy.
>>64417617

Darin Morgan episodes.
Wetwired, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, Eve, The Host, so far.I'm just about to finish Season 3, is the next season any good?
>>64418398
It gets better and better and then peaks at season 5. Season 6 is okay, season 7 is mostly shit with a few gems. 8 and 9 are absolute dog shit.
>>64418398
3 and 4 are probably the best seasons
The one with Jesse Ventura as an MIB.
>>64417925
Great episode. Humorous but not silly, presents far fetched ideas on alien colonization but they are actually feasible, well written.
>>64418468
>>64418474
>>64418398
I found it starting to get weak in season 3 as the initial charm of the MOTW format became silly because it no longer seemed realistic for Scully and others to be sceptical. It wasn't crazy Mulder following hunches anymore, they had just outright seen like 42 ghost, 6 aliens, Batman, and a guy that could transform into bugs or something. And then next week Scully was all like
>Mulder, goblins don't exist. Be rational.
Am I remembering wrong? Should I go back? Does the mytharc actually justify watching?
Easily "Drive" - S6E02
>>64418573
>Am I remembering wrong?
That happens for a little while, but eventually they change it to Mulder guess it's one paranormal thing and it actually being another, so Scully can still be skeptical and the show can still be spooky.
>>64418573
You're half right. Season 4 and 5 has less of Scully going MULDER IT'S NOT REAL! into her trying to justify why she's seeing the crazy shit. Every now and then Mulder will throw her God stuff at her to shut her up.
The myth episodes are worth it though. You have to remember this was the 90's, people didn't always watch religiously, so they could write whatever the fuck from week to week.
Some of my absolute favorite episodes are the ones where there is no supernatural/fantasy/fringe-science twist to what is going on, and instead it's Mulder and Scully investigating a case that is very terrestrial in nature but still unusual enough to be an X-File.
Just examples of weird people committing weird crimes.

This. Its not like drama shows today that you have to watch in chronological order to completely understand whats going on.
Oh i don't know....
>>64418573
I consider season 3 to be the best.
It's when the show became self-aware of it's own tropes and started to introduce comedic elements.
The four Darin Morgan episodes are easily the best, but the cockroach one exemplifies what I'm talking about.
>She felt an involuntary flush and rebuked herself for the girlish indulgence. But the images came perforce and she let them play-- let them flood in like savory-- or more a sugary confection-- from her adolescence when her senses were new and ungoverned by fear and self-denial. 'Ache,' 'pang,' 'prick,' 'twinge'-- how ironic the Victorian vocabulary of behavioral pathology now so perfectly described the palpations of her own desire. The stranger had looked her in the eye and knew her more completely than she knew herself. She felt wild, feral, guilty as a criminal. Had the stranger unleashed in her what was already there or only helped her discover a landscape she, by necessity, blinded herself to? What would her partner think of her?

underrated MOTW episodes tbqhwyf
The Post-Modern Prometheus
I legitimately did not like a lot of the episodes that tried to be funny.
Those episodes had potential, but they either became extremely annoying and incoherent (José Chung's From Outer Space) or they don't go far enough and instead feel conflicting and tonally inconsistent (Bad Blood, which is mostly pretty fun, but still begins and ends with Mulder fucking murdering a teenager and his ass being in hot water for it, which is never resolved.
I'd like the episodes written for comedic-relief if they were written better.
Spooky; I just got done watching some X-Files before getting on the computer.

Everybody keeps telling me how supposedly terrible the show is after Mulder leaves.
Are they just sore that their favorite character took a leave of absence?
There are some pretty shit-tier episodes in even the best seasons of The X-Files. And some of the seasons I didn't like as much also contained some of my favorite episodes.
I also looked over a list of premises/short summaries of some of the episodes of Seasons 8 and 9. A few of them sound fucking awesome and I'm eager to find out if they're good.
>>64419184
You do yourself a disservice trying to form a suspicion before actually seeing it for yourself. All your going to do is fulfill your own bias.
>>64419181
Oh man, I watched those episodes late at night and there was a giant air vent right above my head. Thought that dude was going to come out and eat me

>>64419484

>>64419484
That's honestly one of the first episodes I think of when people talk about the "funny" episodes verging on stupidly silly.
>>64419573
That one where Skinner takes off his shirt and you see how fucking dad buff he is. What the fuck? Dude is almost bear mode!
Is it just me or are Samantha based episodes usually boring as fuck?
>>64419639
and that which he calls mulder and scully to his office and they end up making a threesome
>>64419604
I really liked it though. The zombie thing was particularly creepy, those quick flashes showing you their lifeless faces, how quickly it happens, how the dude disappears and they say something like half the office and the nurse disappeared too. Add in how the guy and Mulder seemed crazy as fuck but Scully's autopsy showed the body'd had indeed been dead for a while.

>>64417772

This >>64421816 and Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose are the best.

>>64419184
Season 8 and 9 are pretty good, I thought. They're definitely nowhere near as bad as they're made out to be.
Reyes and Doggett are good characters. Scully turns into a real cunt in the last 2 seasons with her babby, though.
the one with the alien who wants ot play baseball
the one with the freak that likes cher
the one where brad dourif talks about scullys father

I did the same thing watching Spartacus.
Humbug and Bad Blood are the funniest.
My favorite is Paper Hearts. The only good Samantha episode. Muller has a battle of wits against the prisoner. I honestly wondered if his story might be what really happened to her. Would've been more interesting than what they eventually shat out about her fate.

Yeah I really liked her when she helped Scully during her labour. She was pretty funny in that episode as well as far as I recall.
>its a "magic/aliens/monster appears right in front Scully's face, with zero possibility to mistake what she saw and she denies it ever happened" episode
I liked the episodes where Scully and Mulder switch roles and Mulder is all skeptical just because it's ghosts instead of spoopy aliens. Like that ghost-rape victim in the old folks home or when that guy can see how people die.
>>64425448
9 of 10 Reyes scenes:
>something weird is presented
>"Hi, everyone. Look at that. It's weird. Probably a thing."
>everyone looks at Reyes
>continues discussion between themselves
She could be removed from the last two seasons and I don't think anything would change. Besides maybe that one episode where Doggett got sucked into the other universe and the alts died.
Seriously, don't understand how they fleshed out Doggett to be a legit character and left Reyes as some third wheel. I guess they needed a Scully 2.0 but Doggett took that with all his fucking skepticism leaving Reyes with nothing.
>>64422498
I think she was Duchovny's girlfriend irl at that time
Whats the one where someone gets caught in the end and they strap him in some chair and examinate him. He is screaming and shit and the whole episode is super spoopy.

Dreamland episodes were pretty comfy
As for 8 and 9 being shit, I thought 8 was actually pretty cool. The mytharc stuff got stale by the end of 7, so the whole search for Mulder plot got me somewhat interested again.
I thought the MotW episodes were pretty good too. The one with the cult that tries to put the slug monster inside Scully was pretty spoopy.
Season 9 was mostly irredeemable, though. The good episodes are clustered at the very end, with everything else before it feeling like a chore to get through. Sunshine Days and Scary Monsters are among some of the show's best, though.
