I wondered, for a long time, how this day would feel. The X-Files has meant so much to me for so long that I always figured the closing of this chapter in my life, the absolute certainty that this is…
‘The X-Files’ 11×09 Review: This Is Almost Over
Chris Carter, or maybe The X-Files in general, are like that one night stand you really, really enjoyed while it was happening, but have regretted every second since. This is a terrible comparison to make for me, especially, because I…
‘The X-Files’ 11×08 Review: (Un) Familiar Snoozefest
So often it feels like there are only two kinds of episodes of TV: the really, really good ones, or the terrible ones. Sadly, that is not the case, because both those options make for easier reviews than the one…
‘The X-Files’ 11×07 Review: Who The Hell is Scott?
Don’t you feel like we’re on a train to s****ville and no matter what we do, no matter how comfortable the ride is, no matter how many tasty snacks they give us along the way, or how much they string…
The X-Files 11×06 Review: Please Stop Trying to Make Skinner Happen
Like fetch, it’s never, ever going to happen. Ever. I watched this hour so you wouldn’t have to, so enter here those who wish to avoid the Skinner crap. I’ve got all the good parts for you. The Mulder and…

‘The X-Files’ 11×04 Review: To Find Each Other
Well, that was weird, and out there and still so much better than Chris Carter’s platonic musings or medical rape, because at this point, anything and everything is better than the BS Carter is still trying to feed us twenty…
‘The X-Files’ 11×03 Review: Platonic my arse
I’m going to start this review with a caveat, and I want to be really, really clear here. Just because you’re coming across a mostly positive review about a pretty decent episode of a show that changed my life, introduced…
‘The X-Files’ 11×01 Review: Our Struggle
Chris Carter has a thing for repeating titles, as “My Struggle III” will attest to (and Redux II, The Sixth Extinction II, Nothing Important Happened Today II, etc). He also has a thing for complicated plot lines no one cares…
‘The X Files’: Why Every Show Needs a Diverse Writers Room
The X-Files has never been a truly diverse show — in front or behind the cameras. And yet, it felt like this was the time, like we’ve finally gotten to a point where that could change, where our favorite show…
