Tempus Fugit/Max is somewhat connected, but actually doesn't contribute to the main plot.ĭemons explores some character backgrounds, but doesn't add anything important you won't find out in other episodes.ĭreamland is not one I consider a serious part of the mythology. Wetwired don't really tie directly into the main story, except for the presence of certain characters. Red Museum hints at things that come up later, but is a standalone and you won't miss anything by not seeing it. (In fact, I just made someone rewatch Sleepless for some detail they missed.) I included The Host and Sleepless because they set up the story arc for later episodes, even though they are technically standalone stories. If you don't want to miss anything important, don't skip anything on the list (some of the best episodes have nothing to do with the myth), but if you just was the ones I didn't put a star by, you'll get everything important to the plot.Ĭonduit is not essential because everything it discusses is shown in more detail later.įallen Angel is also not essential (although it's my favorite episode) except for introducing an interesting character.
The events of these episodes are usually never referenced again, or the mythology elements are discussed in more detail in later episodes. Some of the links in these episodes to the mytharc is weak, and are actually standalone episodes that involve characters in the mythology.
These are the episodes on that list I either didn't add or listed as non-essential. Now, let me look at the differences here. I didn't look at wikipedia or other lists, I went by the back of my DVDs and my memory.
Aside from actually writing it, I had nothing to do with it. I was not paid for this, and only became aware because of a username mention here on Reddit. A copy of this list, including my comments on certain episodes and the formatting, was posted as an article on that site suggesting that its author asked the reddit community for episode suggestions. I was wrong to have omitted it.Īdded Season ten and it gives me chills to know I can say I'm adding a tenth season to this list.Īs a disclaimer, I was not contacted or had any discussions with Overmental (nor even heard of them until this) over reprinting this list and my commentary. **Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-MonsterĪdded Leonard Betts (surprised I missed that one).Īdded Bad Blood (how could I have missed that?)Īdded Home. **Milagro (Not a favorite but a lot of people love it)

The second movie takes place after the series (and may or may not be important to the new series). The first movie takes place between seasons five and six is and important. Ones with ** are the best episodes of the series, but not part of the mythology. Ones with a * are not essential mythology episodes, but connect to the mythology. So for those wanting to rewatch the show but not sift through the entire series, these are the essential episodes of The X-Files. It's a long series with a complicated plot, and only some of the episodes are about that plot.

With The X-Files coming back to TV in the not-too-distant future, I figure people are going to start watching the series to catch up. These are not the best episodes, but the ones most important for catching up with the X-Files mythology. I wrote this awhile back when the revival was first announced.
