Xfile episode guide6/24/2023 *The second of my two “never watch” episodes I guess season 3 has some high highs and low lows. None of the episodes on my list surprises me though. It’s one of my favorite seasons of The X-Files, but other than season 9 it had the largest number of episodes I felt like skipping. This season was the biggest surprise for me. The slow pace of the scenes on the ship wasn’t what I was in the mood for. There is no way Mulder would NOT believe in entity rape or be so dismissive of a victim, and the xenophobia regarding the generic “Asian orderly” is offensive.ĭod Kalm is one that I will often watch for the sheer number of times Mulder touches Scully in the first two minutes, but that wasn’t enough for me this time. The episode just has too much going on, none of which is very exciting, for me to want to follow.Įxcelsis Dei is garbage. I thought the rib-eating, face-wiping scene in Red Museum might be enough to entice me to watch, but not this time. It doesn’t exist for me even in a “complete” rewatch. *This is one of two “never watch” episodes. I considered skipping Young at Heart, but then Mulder goes and winks at Scully near the end and I couldn’t miss that. I can manage them on a complete rewatch, but there’s really nothing that I look forward to about them. When I finished my rewatch I looked at the list as a whole, and I was surprised by some of the results. I chatted with some friends as I was building my list, kept them updated season by season, and gave them a chance to talk me out of skipping certain episodes. Sometimes the episode is too important within the context of the season to skip, even if I don’t particularly enjoy it. Sometimes all it takes is a single line, or look, or touch. If they could give me a reason why the episode was worth watching, I did. If I got to an episode I wasn’t sure about I asked for input from friends. I made the list as I was going along, not beforehand, so some episodes are on the list just because I didn’t feel like watching them at that moment, while I would happily watch them another time. ![]() Not all of these are episodes I never want to watch, although some are. I decided to create a list of “Episodes I Just Don’t Want to Watch.” Following my last complete rewatch I started watching again from the beginning (because of course I did), but I knew there were some episodes I’d want to skip. Sometimes I’ll do a theme rewatch, but I have trouble sticking to it and often find myself watching additional off topic episodes. ![]() Usually I start at the beginning and watch sequentially, although occasionally I’ll bounce around as the mood strikes me. I am constantly in the middle of some sort of rewatch. Main article: The X-Files (season 5) No.The X-Files is my favorite show of all time.
