We’re still about two months away from The X-Files: Fight the Future, but it’s already having an effect on the show, as “Unusual Suspects” gives us the Lone Gunmen origin story we didn’t know we needed. Then, “Detour” gives us the singing Scully we didn’t know we needed. iTunes RSS
The fifth season of The X-Files kicks off with a two-parter continuation, as “Redux” and “Redux II” find Mulder and Scully dealing with their most personal connection the conspiracy yet. iTunes RSS
Well, we’ve reached the end of another season, and it’s a very personal end, as “Demons” finds Mulder once again questioning his memories, and “Gethsemane” finds Scully dealing with family matters. iTunes RSS
Skinner goes off on his own for mysterious reasons, in “Zero Sum”, and we get… SIGH…. another John Shiban episode with “Elegy”. Also! Mitch Pileggi in his underwear. We don’t need to say more. iTunes RSS
The X-Files finally does a time travel story in “Synchrony”, and Darin Morgan makes a surprise appearance in “Small Potatoes”. Plus! Tuning In is hungry. iTunes RSS
The mythology returns once again, and this time, it’s a tight two-parter about alien abductions and the return of old characters, in “Tempus Fugit” and “Max”. iTunes RSS
We get another X-Files spin on religious mysticism in “Kaddish”, and then we get an X-Files spin on an invisible assassin in “Unrequited”. iTunes RSS
“Never Again” finds Scully in a rough place emotionally, as “Memento Mori” finds Scully in a rough place physically. iTunes RSS
“El Mundo Gira” is a much less competent riff on “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”, whereas “Leonard Betts” is a much more competent riff on “Squeeze”. Also! Scully has cancer, apparently. iTunes RSS
The latest mythology two-parter second part, “Terma”, is just another mythology episode. However, “Paper Hearts” is very much a heretical questioning of one of the central mysteries of The X-Files. iTunes RSS
