The X-Files Season 9, Episode 15: Jump The Shark

R.I.P. The Lone Gunmen.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 14: Scary Monsters

Those creatures under the bed are real good, Tommy, real good indeed. That was a good thing you did to Agent Reyes and Agent Harrison, too, sending them to the cornfield.

(Side note: it is a shame this post is going up on October 30. It would be the perfect Halloween episode.)

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 13: Improbable

What. What is this episode. I can't even.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 12: Underneath

No, you really don't want to see your housekeeper's body. Holy crap this episode was horrifyingly gross.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 11: Audrey Pauley

I think it's safe to say 'Audrey Pauley' is one of the best episodes in the entire series, and with only nine episodes to go, it is very likely the best episode in the remaining run. I just don't see how they can top it at this point.

The X-Files Season 9, Episodes 9/10: Provenance/Providence

Nope. Big huge flaming buckets of nope.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 8: Hellbound

'Hellbound' is Reyes's 'The Field Where I Died', right?

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 7: John Doe

This is another of those episodes that probably seemed like a good idea to the writer, and then just couldn't quite find the right rhythm in its execution.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 6: Trust No 1

I don't know who to believe any more. I think that was probably the point, no?

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 5: Lord of the Flies

'Lord of the Flies' was not a good episode. I don't think it was even a good concept.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 4: 4-D

There is more than one of everything.

The X-Files Season 9, Episode 3: Daemonicus

Oh, season nine, you were off to a pretty good start, Mulder's absence notwithstanding, but this? What did we do to deserve this?

The X-Files Season 9, Episodes 1/2: Nothing Important Happened Today

I saw the title for this two part episode and my first thought was, "Then why even make an episode out of it?" Because really, if it's nothing important, it's probably just going to be Mulder and Scully hanging around at her house playing with William.

The X-Files Season 8, Episodes 20/21: Essence/Existence

There were some good aspects to this two part season finale. And then it went to an absurdly Christian place and made me really uncomfortable.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 19: Alone

'Alone'. Or, 'Doggett and Leyla Harrison, X-Files Groupie go on a Field Trip'.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 18: Vienen

Maybe this is what happened to Deepwater Horizon.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 17: Empedocles

Hey, it's another Fringe-like episode. And the character development here is getting complicated.

The X-Files Season 8, Episode 16: Three Words

"Fight the future." Where have I heard that before?

The X-Files Season 8, Episodes 14/15: This Is Not Happening/Deadalive

Mulder's triumphant return and it's pretty much the best thing ever.
