Mulder gets called into a dicey situation in “Duane Barry” and Scully takes a trip in “Ascension”.
Tuning In Episode 48: The X-Files, Duane Barry/Ascension
Tuning In Episode 47: The X-Files, Blood/Sleepless
A bunch of people in Pennsylvania are murdering people in “Blood” and it’s up to Mulder to figure out why. Then, in “Sleepless”, the tragic consequences of insomnia are revealed.
Tuning In Episode 46: The X-Files, Little Green Men/The Host
Welcome to season two of The X-Files! Mulder and Scully are separated, but that doesn’t stop them! In “Little Green Men”, Mulder travels to Puerto Rico, and in “The Host”, the show gives us perhaps its scariest episode yet. Promising start to the season!
Tuning In Episode 45: The X-Files, Roland/The Erlenmeyer Flask
We close out season one of The X-Files with “Roland”, the story of one man who apparently hates his brother. Then, in the season finale, “The Erlenmeyer Flask”, Mulder and Scully once again fail to actually keep any evidence of alien life. Way to go, guys.
Tuning In Episode 44: The X-Files, Tooms/Born Again
The X-Files does its first sequel episode, as we see the return of Eugene “Tooms”, and Richard likes him better this time! Then in “Born Again”, a little girl exhibits murderous intent.
Tuning In Episode 43: The X-Files, Shapes/Darkness Falls
It’s really never a good idea for TV shows to do Native American storylines, as as “Shapes” proves, The X-Files is no exception. However, it definitely should do creepy episodes in the woods, as “Darkness Falls” proves.
Tuning In Episode 42: The X-Files, E.B.E./Miracle Man
Mulder learns more about the mysterious Deep Throat in “E.B.E.” and it’s fairly alarming stuff. Then, in “Miracle Man”, the show goes to the South and does its take on revival churches.
Tuning In Episode 41: The X-Files, Lazarus/Young at Heart
It’s Scully’s turn to have an old flame turn up, as “Lazarus” deals with a bank robbery. “Young at Heart” dredges up one of Mulder’s earliest mistakes.
Tuning In Episode 40: The X-Files, Beyond the Sea/Gender Bender
We get the first stone-cold classic episode of the show in “Beyond the Sea”, a gorgeous meditation on faith and doubt. Then, in “Gender Bender”, we get a mess of an episode that is nonetheless pretty enjoyable.
Tuning In Episode 39: The X-Files, Eve/Fire
The X-Files indulges in Richard’s hatred of children by giving us “Eve”. Later, in “Fire”, we meet an old flame of Mulder’s.
