On the Tuning In 100th episode spectacular, we wrap up the body-switch two-parter by dunking on “Dreamland II”, then The X-Files gets really, really weird in “How the Ghosts Stole Christmas”. iTunes RSS
Chris Carter must really be obsessed with The Wizard of Oz, as he gives us a riff on it in the remarkable “Triangle”. Then, the show decides to become terrible in “Dreamland”. iTunes RSS
The sixth season of The X-Files kind of ignores the movie as it makes the move to sunny, sunny California, in “The Beginning”. Vince Gilligan gives us a taut thriller with “Drive”. iTunes RSS
We have reached the first X-Files movie, and it’s a very weird and not entirely successful mishmash that attempts to tell a self-contained mythology story to get both fans and people that have never seen an episode into the theaters. iTunes RSS
Vince Gilligan gives us perhaps his best episode yet with “Folie a Deux”, and we reach “The End” of the fifth season. iTunes RSS
It’s John Shiban week on Tuning In! First up, Shiban gives us the simultaneously boring and offensive “All Souls”. Then, he contributes a taut action thriller with “The Pine Bluff Variant”. iTunes RSS
We get another flashback episode, this time to J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI and the origin of the x-files, in “Travellers”. Then in “Mind’s Eye”, Lili Taylor does her best to make a mediocre episode something better. iTunes RSS
The mythology makes another appearance and this time, we get some (vague) answers, in the two-parter “Patient X” and “The Red and the Black”. iTunes RSS
Coming on the heels of Stephen King’s “Chinga”, “Kill Switch” is a pretty standard William Gibson story. However, there’s nothing standard about “Bad Blood”. iTunes RSS
Season five gives us the worst episode in quite a while, “Schizogeny”, and Stephen King pens “Chinga”, which is mostly lazy but does feature some solid Mulder and Scully dynamic. iTunes RSS
