This thread has reminded me that I started re-watching this a few weeks ago. I only watched a couple then forgot about it, so I watched the next one this afternoon and it was......the Eugene Tombs episode! Spooky.

Absolutely this. Season 7 finale would’ve been perfect, then transition into a movie franchise if the scripts are good enough. I couldn’t stand Reyes…

Gillian Anderson, was and is a crush for me, though her playing Margaret Thatcher took it down a notch.I'm not nerdy enough to remember any of the episode titles, but I LOVED that show, back in the day. It was amazing for a few years, although it did decline quite badly in the end. Maybe the Eugene Tooms episode? That was a good one.
I had the biggest crush on David Duchovny in my late teensNow, not so much.
Mrs T the same.

I never got the Gilian Anderson thing, back in the day.
I think she is much more attractive as an older woman,. (not as Thatcher, I hasten to add!)

The one about the inbred family was really disturbing.

The soundtrack in the first few series is just fantastic. The composer basically hired a guy with a set of electric tom-toms and told him to have at it. Made me giggle when we watched it last year.

If you want a show like The X Files but without the varied quality of episodes, then watch Fringe, it's bloody awesome!

I have to agree that The X Files was the best show in the history of television. Like all of them it went on a tad too long but was still great.
I don’t remember episode titles but I know that Eugene Victor Toombs was the very best villain. Then there was the paramedic man who had a taste for human blood . I will not forget the mutant retards who kept Mother boarded up at home…So many brilliant scares.
In the final series I loved the one where Mulder and Scully were bamboozled by all the technology going wrong and working against them .. very funny…

There was a spin-off series Millenium, which I remember enjoying.
hadn't thought about it for a long time.
anyone rewatched it?

Millennium was great! Not in The X-Files league but still really enjoyable. Obviously dated now… it was cancelled on a cliffhanger pretty much, but there was a crossover episode on The X-Files which wasn’t bad. There was also a Lone Gunmen spin-off series which was… less good.
I’d recommend checking out Millennium though.

“Home” is the most disgusting episode - was banned by Fox. The mother under the bed

I think the fashions in the early seasons perhaps didn’t help with that. She started off very Clarice Starling. She had a big glow-up around season 4 after she had her daughter Piper. By the time of the movie she was stunning…

Series 2 Episode 20 Humbug, with a series of murders in a community of ex freak show performers, is a favourite so far in my ridiculous binging.
