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.

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 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.
