my favorite x files episodes in each of the first 5 seasons

“ice” (1x08)

“one breath” (2x08)

“jose chung from outer space” (3x20)

“memento mori” (4x14)

“bad blood” (5x12)

“ice” (1x08)

such a tense episode and really felt everybody’s stress in this scenario (even if you’ve never seen the x-files before i feel like you can enjoy this episode as if it’s a survival/horror movie) and the elements it reveals and ways it tests mulder and scully’s relationship really pulled at my heartstrings (“for God’s sake: it’s me” always makes me clutch my chest)

“one breath” (2x08)

love the way scully’s state is depicted artistically but mostly i’m moved by the devotion mulder shows to scully (clutching my heart once again) between his initial rage arriving at the hospital and his moving speech to scully before being moved to pray for her (even in just season 2 i understood how much that meant for him) - also melissa scully dropped an absolute BANGER of a quote with “just because it’s positive and good doesn’t make it silly or trite”!

“jose chung from outer space” (3x20)

honestly remember loving this episode for a lot of the same reasons as “bad blood” - unreliable narrators are always fascinating to me as artistic takes in any media and this was so funny and creative between bleeping out words and the way mulder and scully acted (all in all felt like a parody of an x-files episode and i’m here for it)

“memento mori” (4x14)

hot on the tail of an episode i (and i think many other people) kinda hate (i get its purpose but of course i’m perpetually rooting for mulder-and-scully as soulmates) is this hard hitter and honestly the way they both deal with something this serious and imminent was really moving - and for the same reasons i love “one breath” i’m moved by the way mulder takes dealing with scully’s cancer so hard (they’re partners and best friends and linked in a way not defined by traditional love of any form) also the discussion at the end touches me and BUH clutching my heart once again

“bad blood” (5x12)

honestly i think this was one of the first x-files episodes i saw before i ever started the series chronologically and so of course i didn’t fully appreciate it but i still found it very entertaining - having finally caught up through 5 seasons it’s SUCH a good silly take on yet again unreliable narrators but also a kind of parody of the show itself: a teenage pizza delivery vampire is such a refreshing take and the absurdity of playing upon popular beliefs about vampires within the scully-and-mulder way of operating is just so entertaining (besides: i read something recently about how mulder and scully’s individual tellings of the stories reveal the insecurities they possess about their roles in the partnership with each feeling like a sidekick and i found that a really interesting take)

*p.s. some of these i waffled back and forth on cause there are so many good episodes but this is what i settled on

#just started season 6 #hopefully y’all loved these as much as i did #bad blood is probably my all time fave #it’s so them #the x files #mulder and scully #favorite x files episode

Mulder, the truth is out there. But so are lies.

#tv: the x files #txfedit #fox mulder #dana scully #mulder and scully #the lone gunmen #xfilesnet #my overall feelings about season one are that it's a good start #there are as many really good episodes and mediocre ones #and the foundation that's being built is incredibly solid #it's not my favorite season but it's a pretty good one #things i made

lord kinbote, the shakespearean alien

that smoking little "alien" man

the mulder scream™

"You never saw this. This didn't happen. You tell anyone, you're a dead man"

scully dissecting a, what seemed to be a rather sophisticatedly made costume of an alien

"If I find out you lied to me, you're a dead man"

that famous shot of scully reading the book I keep seeing everywhere

power couple™

the men in black tho? what?

mulder eating an entire pie while asking his usual set of crazy questions

fox "hot guy" mulder in that last pic thank you very much.

You can tell Mulder and Scully is true love, cause if a dude told me he was taking me out for a "Nice trip to the forest" and I wound up getting nearly eaten by murder fireflies, I would kill that man with a hammer.

You know, Scully, we've got four weeks' probation vacation and nothing to do, and Wayne Federman's invited us out to LA to watch his movie being filmed... and God knows I could use a little sunshine.

California, here we come.

🥏 TXF Fic Rec #30: "Petrichor" by Aloysia Virgata

Today’s fic is a perfect blend of the most X-Filey casefile I’ve ever read and a burgeoning, tentative MSR, set right after episode 7x02 “Amor Fati”. It’s rare to come across a casefile that is so imaginative and well-written, fitting the vibe of the show that it could easily be a great MOTW episode (the mystery is partially unexplained in the end!). The M/S part is just beautiful. Their banter, flirting, and complicated feelings toward each other are so spot on for early season 7. The writing is top-tier, featuring vivid, gorgeous world-building and amazing dialogue. So freaking good!
