`The Un-Unofficial X-Files Episode Guide`

Key

Ranks:

Part of the Greater Story, or so good that it should be.

(none) Non-essential. You can still see the movie if you haven't seen it.

Run, and if you can't run, play possum.

Rating:

I didn't know TV could _be_ this good.

I will pass up sex to watch this episode.

I will pass up a really good stogie to watch this episode.

I will pass up 90210 to watch this episode.

This is the work of the Dark Chris Carter.

`Season 2`

* The first eight episodes of the second season are, in a way, one big story, and they all should be seen (except maybe for 2X03 and 2X04, if you're really pressed for time) if the viewer intends to be up-to-date on the Greater Story.

2X01: "Little Green Men"

Can you say, "larger budget?" Still, it didn't help this story much.

2X02: "The Host"

ICK! The only X-Files I had to close my eyes during. ICK! X's first line.

2X03: "Blood"

I rank this one high just because the premise is so... great.

2X04: "Sleepless"

Pretty solid, and interesting.

2X05: "Duane Barry [1/2]"

It doesn't get much better than this. I loved every breathing moment of it.

2X06: "Ascension [2/2]"

And a great finish, although one *STUPID* scene needed to stay on the cutting room floor.

2X07: "3"

Oh, yes. Oh, yes. (Mulder is, in my opinion, way out of his league in this one.)

2X08: "One Breath"

At the end of this episode, I realized that I would stop at nothing to watch every bit of X-Files I could get my hands on. Every bit.

2X09: "Firewalker"

Ah huh. Yeah. Whatever.

2X10: "Red Museum"

Another great one. I always knew they were bad to the core.

2X11: "Excelsius Dei"

Kind of cool, but nothing special.

2X12: "Aubrey"

Great. Mostly. Unfortunately, due to a personal in-joke, I can no longer consider this episode without busting up. Sick, but true.

2X13: "Irresistible"

You want scary? You got it. Sheesh!

2X14: "Die Hand Die Verletzt"

Interesting and sort of freaky. Great opener.

2X15: "Fresh Bones"

Voodoo in a refugee camp. Had potential, but... no. And why was X in this one?

2X16: "Colony" [1/2]

This is what the X-Files is best at: Aliens, conspiracies, and wacky inter-personal stuff.

2X17: "End Game" [2/2]

Ecstacy! I love Skinner! Skinner is a god!!

2X18: "Fearful Symmetry"

The only reason this one got even ONE star is because it had a) Frohike, and b) the elephant autopsy (stepladder, indeed).

2X19: "Dod Kalm"

Ehhh. Yeah. This is bottom of the barrel stuff. They should have stuck with the wormhole theory.

2X20: "Humbug"

Yes! Freaks! And a BI-ZARRE script! Was in the running for Best Ever, but... Plot! Plot! We need more plot!

2X21: "The Calusari"

Some interesting Exorcist references, but on the whole, poor.

2X22: "F. Emasculata"

The attack of the killer zits! Yes! Yes! I LOVE this show!

2X23: "Soft Light"

Award: worst justification of a poor plot line. Ever.

2X24: "Our Town"

Couple of good shocking moments, and really gross counts for something.

2X25: "Anasazi" [1/3]

We are deep in alium territory here. Yep. Teleplay by David Duchovney & Chris Carter! Woo!
