The X-Files: Favorite Episodes

I started watching The X-Files late.  It wasn't until mid-2006 when my professor/advisor recommended the show that I seriously considered it.  I started watching reruns of the series in 2007. In 2008, I started buying the DVDs (seasons 3-6).  This past Christmas, I got seasons 1, 2, and 7.  I generally reject seasons 8 and 9.  There's decent stuff but I just need my Mulder fix, even though I like to pick on him (sort of).

When selecting my favorite X-Files episodes, I naturally started with the episodes that stayed in my memory years after seeing them.  To round the list out, I then read over IMDb episode synopses to refresh my memory.  Then I reviewed some of those specific episodes from my DVD collection.  Kept some and passed on others.

First off, I'm not a big fan of the mythology episodes; I appreciate the complexity and the ingenuity of these episodes, I just don't enjoy them as much. I'm a fan of the "standalone"/"creature of the week"/"monster of the week" episodes.  I love the hardcore thrillers as well as the ones with ample dark comedy.

I may add some pictures at a later date, or later tonight (5-7-15).
