Definitely Field Trip. That one fucked me up as a kid, and even to this day i still think about it.
This new season ended up being disappointingly terrible, but it was all worth it for this one episode.

S1E13 was really interesting - the serial killer who was possessed and could see the future.
Just watched S3E18, about the Chinatown underground; while not spooky I enjoyed its dark vibe and real world crime style.
The freakshow episode was good, too. And another anon mentioned Home, also very good. I am excited to see how the series progresses.

>>17581814
Well, if you mean the first episode, it's called "Squeeze", which was decent, but never scared me as much as it did other fans. His return episode, "Tooms", seemed pretty dumb to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musings_of_a_Cigarette_Smoking_Man
The Cigarette Smoking Man: "Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers."
>>17581988
Definitely one of the best.
>>17582117
Damn, now I've just spotted the error on this one. He says "teeth-shattering" nuts, not "teeth-crunching" nuts. Anyone with mad photoshop skills want to fix it?

Just hit the middle of season 2. I really loved Ice. Not sure why, but it's been my favorite episode. The Erlenmeyer Flask was great as well, but I feel like I should rewatch it soon, as my attention span wasn't great when I hit the episode.
Really excited about X-Files, I'm glad I started watching it after so long.
daily reminder that the mythology arc was a mistake
>>17566890
i love the episode where no one believes mulder but he goes anyway and that other episode where scully is sceptical but tags along
>>17583061
You should do the laugh factory. That shit is hillarious.
>>17583038
Well the show was built on it , so I dont think it was mistake, but they definetely needed some fresh blood in the writing room after season six.
Seeing how the new season turned out was painfull to say the least.
>>17583038
Any post that starts with
>daily reminder
means you can instantly disregard it as cancer.
Most of the show is comprised of MotW stuff, so if that's what you like, you have plenty to choose from.
>>17581952
You're right. I meant Squeeze.
>>17581952
>>17583277
I was much more freaked out by Teliko as a kid, even though it was pretty unreasonable fear since I wasn't a niglet.
>>17577559
You're scared by one of the funniest episodes in the series?
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose definitely stuck out as a good episode. I also enjoyed that one episode, Ice, it had a bit of a "The Thing" vibe to it.
The only episode that ever legitimately scared me was the one with the satanic school teacher, I think it was called Die Hand Die Verletzt or something like that.
>>17583860
"Ice" actually was an homage to "The Thing". I think "Firewalker" might be too, at least to some degree.
"Die Hand Die Verletzt" is definitely one of the most messed-up episodes, which is why it's one of my favorites in the horror category.
>>17581782

>>17567570
The feels
>>17581181
Wasn't bad for an episode from the later seasons.
desu, Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man
but there are tons of really good episodes.
Also, from the new season, the Band-Aid Nose Man one was actually pretty good, overexplanation ruined it as fuck but, still good scenes, cool bad guy, deep meaning and some character developement.
Newcomer, not seen a single episode outside of season 1. Eve, Fire, Gender Bender, Lazarus, Young at heart, and Miracle Man are pretty good. Especially fire when I think about it.
the one where gillian anderson is very smol and david is very tol is p good
Nobody is gonna mention the doll episode?
>>17588070
Let's have fun!
>>17587455
The creature itself was, to me, pretty bland and unimpressive, not to mention a rehash of another monster from the original series. The rest of the episode was pretty decent, though.
>>17588005
You should definitely watch more. Seasons 1-5 are gold.

>>17572164
The sequel to the episode ruined it, but this weeeaboo was actually a super fun character in "Pusher."
>>17593827
>weeaboo
He was more like a traditional Japanophile. I know the two terms can be used interchangeably sometimes, but he wasn't some animu nerd like you'd find on /a/, he'd probably hang out on /jp/, the thought of which amuses me.
>The sequel to the episode ruined it
That seemed to happen a lot. I don't completely hate it, but it was pretty weak and had some dumb moments. Think about it, Pusher, Tooms, Donnie Pfaster, Max Fenig... their original episodes were damn good, but when they were brought back, those episodes didn't seem to do them justice, especially Pfaster, from what I heard. I don't even want to watch Orison because of that stupidity.
>>17567570
Ditto
>>17568361
This was actually a great episode.
Kill Switch.
>>17594475
>he'd probably hang out on /jp/, the thought of which amuses me.
Funny, I always firmly believed that Mulder would be balls deep in 4chan if it existed in mid 90's, not to mention the lone gunmen who most definetely would be on some Tor run helhole of the web.
>>17594822
I think /x/ might break Mulder's brain, but he'd still probably latch onto the most "legit" threads he could find, especially UFO related. The Lone Gunmen would handle it better, but fill /x/ and possibly /pol/ with even more tinfoil threads than ever, in between wanks to the porn boards of their choice.
Basically any episode involving Alex Krycek and Cancer Man. Also episodes where Mulder is deep in on a mission.
>>17569635
Saw this episode just last night
>>17595044
>Also episodes where Mulder is deep in on a mission.
What do you mean? Like trying to uncover a shadowy Syndicate conspiracy? Because he digs pretty deep in almost all his cases.
>>17594555

Holy smokes, Mulder. If you are not going, I am.

Step it up, senpais. They are all quintessential episodes.
>>17605088
>no Wetwired

>no Tempus Fugit/Max
Better, a good old-fashioned abductee story.
>no Pine Bluff Variant
Also good and often overlooked.
F.EMASCULATA
>>17566917
>>17568303
two of my favorites
>>17605101
>Bland, IMO
I respectfully disagree. My favorite aspect of Wetwired is that it features Mr. X, Cancer Man, and The Lone Gunmen all in one standalone episode that wasn't bogged down by mythology.
Classic conspiracy (altering people's perception of reality through cable TV) and Scully's breakdown are icing on the cake.
Really gives you a good impression of the relationships between all the principle characters in the show in just one episode.
>>17605168
*principal, oops
I also forgot to mention Quagmire in my original list. I love Jose Chung's and Bad Blood as much as the next X-phile, but Quagmire is right up there for me with those episodes.
>>17605168
I could rewatch it and see if I feel any different, but I tend to react that way to most mind control portrayals in shows. It usually just feels like contrived drama to turn two main characters against each other and there were other instances of Mulder and Scully doing it that worked better.
>>17605171
Quagmire is good. Rewatched that one not too long ago.
>>17566890
stretchy guy 1 and 2
flatworm guy
guy who can change what people see but only when you look right at him who was part of some government experiment to make soldiers who dont sleep
and the parody episode where they are on the tv show cops and the monster which you dont get to see can look like anything and seems to look like what ever some ones worst fear is
>>17566890
The early episodes with Mulder only, which I guess were only like three? Particularly the one where he was with this supposed vampire chick and her house exploded. I can't remember much honestly.
Musings of a Chainsmoking Man was really well done.
That episode for the origins of The Lone Gunmen was good too.
It seems the best episode are the ones without Scully and Mulder in them.
Whats the most meme episode?
The ones people quote the most or make images of.
I'm marathoning the show for the first time ever. Started a few months ago and I just started season 8. Holy shit did the show take a nosedive once Mulder was gone.
All seasons so far were great, but season 8.. jesus. And I heard 9 is even worse. Should I just not bother anymore and go right to the last episode?
>>17607520
Fuck off.
>>17607527
I tried to warn you. Season 9 is worse, yes. If you want to finish it, look for the episode list on the X-Files wikia (not Wikipedia) and find the Mythology episodes for S9, then skip the rest.
Actually, here, I got it for you. Watch the ones listed here. Prepare for disappointment.
http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/The_X-Files_Mythology,_Volume_4_-_Super_Soldiers
>>17607820
>>17607830
Thank you.
The Doggett episodes in season 8 were shit. I'm just gonna skip most of them and go directly to the mytharc ones.
I have never seen such a contrast in quality from one season to another in a show than post-season 7 X-Files.
>>17608117
Sorry you had to find out this way, anon. It's just living proof that nearly all long-running shows will start to decay over time, no matter how good they once were. The producers need to have an exit strategy in mind, rather than a "Let's see how long we can stay on the air and milk this!" attitude.
>>17608117
>The Doggett episodes in season 8 were shit
>>17608191
But they mostly were, anon. You can probably point to a handful of decent ones, but they were never anywhere near as good as the ones with classic Mulder and Scully.
I just got this tattoo on 4/20. Guess the episode it was first used in
>>17609351
Nice ink, anon.
>Guess the episode it was first used in
"Ascension"?
>>17609435
Yea your right, great episode!
Thanks haha

"In this episode, Mulder and Scully investigate a series of murders in which the heart has been removed from the victims. A writer who lives next door to Mulder is writing a novel about the murders before they actually happen and soon, Scully finds herself confused and drawn to the writer, who has a romantic interest in her."
>>17609952
I only watched it once, but that was a weird episode. And kind of cheesy, in a way. I should watch it again.
I don't remember the name but it was in season 1 or 2 but it started with some workers on tape an they kill each other? because of a parasite
also Gender Bender and Fatal Symmetry
Could some please tell me which epsidode it was where at the start a man emeged from the soil? or it something along them lines. I'm never any good with names but that one creeped me the fuck out. The one about the the sewarage fluke worm thing was good too ?
>>17610658
Arcadia?
>>17610702
That's gotta be it I certainly recognize the house in the picture.
>>17566890
The shapeshifting moster that turns human in the mini series was great.
Ending of that series was quite the disappointment.
>>17610561
That's "Ice".
>>17581814
I did that exact thing and found your post. Good taste, anon.
>>17606265
Eugene Victor Tooms, Flukeman, Augustus "Preacher" Cole, and unknown creature/entity.
"Squeeze", "Tooms", "The Host", "Sleepless", and "X-Cops" respectively.
>>17610777
Chris Carter trolled everyone. Still not sure if that was the actual end.
>>17566936
Lizardman episode was awesome.
I gotta say that I actually got bored with the longterm story of X-Files, and liked the monster of the week episodes more. My favourite is probably "Soft Light". It was spooky as fuck when I watched it.

just saw it and wast too impressed
>>17566890
the one that didn't have mulder or scully in it, but had an angel and devil having coffee together in some run down diner. I forgot it's name
>>17618878
Are you sure that was X-Files? Must have been season 8 or later.
Not the best but one that has stayed in my memory as one of the funniest was Je Souhaite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdYb5UsURjU
>>17621764
I skipped that one last time. Maybe it's worth a shot.
I can't say I had a favourite episode. I can't even recall that many storylines desu. The best ones were when little questions were answered, or new ayylmao leads paid-off.
There was always the hope that they'd one day fuck too.. which was always exciting to watch iiirc
Watching the series as a whole will give more profit than just watching the top-ten out of context.
>>17609331
>>17608117
I personally love Doggett. Reyes is total garbage though. honestly I'd suggest the total opposite and say skip the myth episodes and just go for the MOTW episodes. There's some good stuff in there. I actually really liked Improbable and Sunshine Days.
