What is your favorite X-Files and why?
They showed Unrhue last night on the local UPN affiliate. That's the episode where they crazy guy psychically projects his delusions onto film, kidnaps women, and scrambles their brains in order to stop them from having "unrhue", or restlessness, from "the howlers". The actor that they got to play the crazy guy twitches one of his eyeballs in a really creepy manner. Good episode, maybe not my favorite, but definitely up there!

Nice not so subtle tribute to Texas Psychedelic music pioneer Roky Erickson. Also my favorite episode.

4. "Blood"
It's the one about the subliminal messages that people see in their electronic devices. It's because the town was used as an experiment for a special nerve gas.

Either that or the ones with Art Modell, the "Pusher."

16. They found out the date of the alien invasion
Dec 23rd 2012 (it's been some time since I saw that episode), Scully and Mulder have a final confrontation with the Cigarette Smoking Man (who tells them the date of the invasion and some other things I can't remember off the top of my head ) , CMS is killed when a helicopter shoots a missile into the ruins where he meets Mulder and Scully.

The episode ends in a hotel room with Mulder and Scully finally kissing I believe.

- I would check out an episode guide because my memory is kind of fuzzy

21. Nothing can kill CSM!!!
Certainly not some dumbass Hellfire Missiles!

CSM lives.

Great last episode, IMO. It was a courtroom deal, mostly, recounting the series, but with new stuff too. It made me think that the show could really have gone on and on, but then I remembered that the reason it sucked the last 2 seasons was because Duchovny left, and the reason the last ep was great was because he was back.

13. That was a good one!
True story: unbeknownst to us, our TV was about to die on us due to electrical problems (it was old, and dust and dog hair were causing it to spike). My partner was a computer consultant, and so I would take him to the airport on Sunday afternoon and pick him up Thursday evening, so most of the time, I was alone. The night that particular episode debuted, I had decided to go to bed early. The TV spiked, turned itself on in the middle of one of the monster's attacks. I thought someone was breaking in downstairs. Scared the piss out of me. I nearly ended up pulling an Elvis (i.e., shooting the TV).

6. the one where the kid wanted to see Cher
Jerry Springer was in it.

I also like the one with the vampire which was told from either agent's point of view that was totally different. That ____ Wilson (I can't tell the brothers apart) guy was the sheriff with the teeth.

God, this makes no sense.

9. I know which one you're talking about.
The kid was disfigured...a sort of mutant. The townspeople thought he was a monster. It's my favorite, also...the episode was filmed in black and white. PLUS...one of the very few episodes where you see Fox Mulder actually smile. :-)

15. The one where
They're surrounded by all the different aliens and mutants and freaks and whatnot, and just when you think they're done for, they all pull of their masks and costumes, and they're all FBI agents, and the cigarette-smoking man comes out with a big cake for Mulder's 35th birthday - said they had been planning it for years.

18. I liked the He Said, She Said vampire episode best, I think...
There were so many good ones, though. I think that one was in season 6. Hilarious!

I also like "Arcadia" which everyone else hates. It's the one where Mulder and Scully pose as a married couple in a development to uncover a bunch of missing persons. In the end the development is "haunted" by some demon who kills anyone who doesn't comform to the strict CC&Rs of the development. It's from season 7. Maybe you can't appreciate it unless you've lived in an HOA.

:)

Best serious TV series EVER.

Are they ever going to do another movie?

79. I actually screen a clip from "Arcadia" in my landscape architecture class
Just to show the students what a gated community can look like. (We don't have a lot of them in our part of Canada.) The alarming thing is, I'm starting to get college kids who were too young to be allowed to watch the show when it was still on!

but then Scully kinda proved him wrong, at least in her own mind, but then the viewer was left with the impression that Mulder was actually right by some little teaser at the end?

times do you have to see it before you believe?" or something like that to Scully.

shit out by a large man-eating plant, and the very next week they'd be doubting something as mundane as a sliding chair.

I think you're talking about with the spores and the man eating plant, where they escape from being digested, but then realize that they haven't escaped at all.

I sure as hell hope so.

My favorite part of Fight the Future was when Mulder says, for the first time "Oh shit." I saw it on opening night in a huge theater, and the entire crowd erupted when he said it. Incredible!

I think the one that probably squicked me the most was the one with all the bugs, where the giant cockroaches were living under the wallpaper of the house and it was MOVING like it was alive and they tore off the wallpaper and BRRRR!!!! Roach City! :scared: Horrible.

37. "Home" and the one where Mulder is infected with the "black oil"..
Home is the one where they visit the house with the deformed inbred family.

The other one is the one where Mulder is being held prisoner in Siberia and they experiment on him with the black oil substance.

I also like the one that ends with Krycek imprisoned in a missile silo with the alien ship "purging himself" of the black oil substance.

40. There's so many!
But the Lightening Guy was good. The guy who was a physicist and was afraid of light bulbs was most likely my favorite. And all the Smoking Man ones. Don't like any bug stories. I had a boss once and he was always very quite but did like the show and we'll talk about it. We both hated the Bad Boys show and he said, "Next thing you know they'll have The Simpsons on, and I said The Simpsons had already done an X Files show themselves! Funny.

with a funny, touching performance by Peter Boyle (trivia corner: Clyde Bruckman was one of Buster Keaton's writers. I think he killed himself.) Also Home, and that one with the Eves, with a really creepy performace by that actress who played Frasier's agent on "Fraiser".

63. In the Big Inning
Many good ones already mentioned but I'm surprised no one else mentioned that one.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

71. That's my favorite serious episode...
Edited on Mon Mar-14-05 07:30 PM by VelmaD
It's hard for me to pick one favorite. Big Blue for the funny ones. Terma/Tunguska for the mythology arc ones. And The Unnatural (the ep you mentioned) for the other serious but not myth-arc eps.

67. I don't know the name, but it's about a carnival man with a "skin
condition", a man with a tail (runs in the family) whose muscles could reset themselves into any identity. And this one morphed into Moulder!! It was funny seeing him stand in his "own" office, glance at the poster "I want to believe", and then mutter, "What a loser." And THEN try and get Scully drunk so he could KISS her!!!! Whoooooo!!!!!

:bounce:

69. That would be "Small Potatoes"
Great ep. Especially love how he knocked that chick up while he took the shape of Luke Skywalker. *snort*

82. Aaaah - LOVE that episode!
My favorite part was when the guy shapeshifted into Mulder and did that bit in front of the mirror with his gun...trying to be all tough. You're a damn good lookin' man.' 'F.....B.....Iiiiiiii.' Hilarious!

68. The cockroaches episode
and the human/liver fluke episode just freaked me out. I'll never use an outhouse again!

73. Those would be War of the Coprophages...
and The Host, respectively.

I am SUCH an X-Files geek to know that. :)

78. The one about the inbreeders down south. The Momma lived under the bed
on a creeper. That was a very controversial episode that was banned in several markets.
It was very creepy!

83. my personal favorite
is the he said/she said vampire episode. It's hillarious. Another great episode IMO is the one where Scully and Mulder pose as a married couple in the neighborhood with the trash monster.
