A bit too much on the nose for Catherine's boss to have one of Hitler's paintings hanging on her office.

Phoebe is overly sexualized for this to be believable, it read like bad fanfiction. Also it annoyed me to no end the unaccurate pop references (Klingon languague was first heard until 1979's Star Trek: the Motion Picture and formalized for 1984's Star Trek III: The Search f...

I didn't like this one, maybe it was because I came with somewhat higher expectations, having mostly enjoyed Petrucha's run on the Topps comic. I found it was written confusingly, had to reread a couple of sentences and paragraphs to understand what was going on, specially...

This felt meandering, pointless, and long. Maybe things from this one will be picked out in later episodes and redeem it retrospectively, but nowadays I give it 1 star because it bored me to no ends.

I don't agree that it implies that Mulder's alien obsession was the result of being exposed to the toxic gas. I think that as he has his history of her sister abduction he hallucinated that way.
This episode makes me think that the Law and Order and X files order should b...

Yesterday I just finished reading Isaac Asimov's "The Naked Sun", Daneel Olivaw is one of it's main characters. Don't see the relation between Asimov's character and the killed guy in this one, though.
I was really invested in this episode but the ending was a let down fo...

@Mascot: Billy Matthews was the boy killed by his mother at the beginning of this short story.
For me, this was tonally wrong; I didn't like this one as a worthwhile addition to the X-Files. And I have mixed feelings towards the first scene; it was moving, but also felt li...

The first truly great episode so far in my opinion. Brad Dorif as Boggs is incredible (as Brad Dorif always is), and seeing Don Davis, Major Briggs from Twin Peaks, as Scully's dad was a really nice surprise. I think seeing Mulder playing against type and being skeptical, w...

It was a complete cop out on the reasons why Amy and David Cassandra's blood was on Mulder's shirt. I like how it began, but by the time that Mulder was released of jail it went downhill really fast.

This one was compelling, specially with the police force trying to keep Frank Black from participating in the investigation, and the brother losing it. The spin at the end was good too. 4 stars.

The most X-Files episode of this series so far, I don't think they nailed it. The series needs more exploration of the Millennium Group (though I understand that happens in the following seasons):

I don't like the addition of Gordon Purcell redrawing the faces of Mulder and Scully over the art of Charlie Adlard. Based on my cursory (and brief) research, I found out it was an imposition of Chris Carter's production company, Ten Thirteen, which wanted a more traditiona...

Kevin Anderson is a far better IP writer than Charles Grant. It's a serviceable novel, it's entertaining, easy to read, and it doesn't break canon. Solid effort, 3 stars.
