It kind of craps out as the fifth season wears on. Not that there aren't even some good 6th season episodes but the "mythology" just gets retarded.

yeah, the backstory poo poo got pretty ridiculous as they tried like hell to longjump out of the corner they painted themselves into. the way the series was set up was pretty foolproof though, since if they needed more time to figure out how to connect the Smoking Man to yet another goddamn historical event or preventing the Buffalo Bills from winning the Super Bowl. (ed- s04e07 "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man holy poo poo this episode fuckin owns)they could just throw together some passable script written by an intern and have mulder and scully go through the fuckin paces with maybe some help given by Deus Ex Machina in human form AD Skinner.

Plus Chris Carter was busy writing his next show, Millennium, during like season 3 or 4 i think and once the good guest writers finished with their A material and David Duchovney was balls deep in every woman not named Tea Leoni when they realized they should probably do more background stuff to justify a summer movie and give Chris Carter a good jumping point back into the show when it became apparent that people didnt want to watch a show where a dude saves his wife from a goddamn serial killer only to have his wife leave him immediately after because he killed the serial killer when saving her (seriously Millennium was insanely lovely at times). Chris Carter comes back, farts around for a bit before running off to make the Lone Gunman series, that lasted like 3 episodes before Fox dragged it out back and shot the gently caress out of it.

So then Chris Carter comes back again, Duchovney leaves to do Red Shoe Diaries I think, and the lovely Ivan Reitman movie with Stifler and pops up every now and again while the T-1000 holds Gillian Anderson back from running to England to act there, and no one gives a poo poo except for the Smoking Man, since it gave him a platform to yell at Richard Dawkins about (seriously. also he has an acting school that he runs)

even with all that bullshit the xfiles was still a cool show

also if this isnt the drunk thread i dont give a gently caress im high as gently caress and now im gonna watch some fuckin xfiles

Millennium had some pretty good episodes among the "yet another serial killer who is boring as poo poo" ones. Also the one where they decided nobody was watching and weren't going to get renewed anyway so they shot a psychedelic freakout backed by Patti Smith's "Horses". All ten minutes of the song which is pretty avante garde as it is.

I had forgotten what a televised abortion that show was. Whip, I wouldn't say they aged super well, but compared to everything else from the 90s that isn't Heat, Silence of the Lambs or another movie you already know the name of, the X-Files are head and shoulders above.

seriously it was super lovely at times, but when they realized they had nothing to live for the writers went balls to the wall and put out some really cool episodes.

the demon coffee shop episodes were loving rad as hell and I wish it was way more of that and less of the boring rear end serial killers

also the 2nd move was pretty lovely if you think of it as anything more than "hey a longer than usual x-file episode done for shits and giggles"
