The X-Files Season 8, Episode 13: Per Manum

OK, season eight, I forgive you. You're not that bad, after all.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 12: Medusa

Another good episode? What is happening?

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 11: The Gift

Death is your gift.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 10: Badlaa

Oh, X-Files. Why?

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 9: Salvage

Metal man, metal man, metal man hates the people he thinks did this to him. They have a fight, everyone dies, and I may have fallen asleep during this episode it was so pointless.

The X-Files Friday Feature: When Television Series Go Bad

Boy is this ever a good time to talk about how most shows run at least a season too long.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 8: Surekill

Sometimes I get the feeling the writers just don't think their ideas all the way through, but implement them anyway.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 7: Via Negativa

OK, getting better. Creepy dream sequences are always a plus.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 6: Redrum

Finally, a decent episode.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 5: Invocation

This really would have been the perfect episode for Mulder to be in. Alas, he was not.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 4: Roadrunners

"Hey, remember when we wrote that episode, 'Home' in season four? Let's do that again." -surely someone on the writing staff who forgot how horrifically disgusting that episode was.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 3: Patience

Still no. Also, what the hell is going on in this episode anyway?

The X-Files Season 8, Episodes 1/2: Within/Without

Well, this is different.

The X-Files Season 7, Episode 22: Requiem

This was just meant to be a season finale? Really?

The X-Files Friday Feature: The Springfield Files

Yup, I've finally seen 'The Springfield Files'.

The X-Files Season 7, Episode 21: Je Souhaite

Be careful what you wish for, because you might get it, along with a whole bunch of other things you didn't want because you didn't really think through the potential consequences of your wish.

The X-Files Season 7, Episode 20: Fight Club

Sometimes there are episodes with interesting concepts and promising setups that turn into outstanding pieces of entertainment. And sometimes there are episodes that are 'Fight Club'.

The X-Files Season 7, Episode 19: Hollywood A.D.

Skin-man calls Mulder from a bubble bath. Film at eleven.

The X-Files Season 7, Episode 18: Brand X

'Brand X' was gross. And it didn't have quite enough else to keep me interested beyond the grossness the way a similarly bug-infested episode, 'War of the Coprophages', did.
