I loved every episode I could manage to watch when I was a kid. I didn't care for much of the actual conspiracy stuff but I loved all the aliens and crazy horror stuff. Friends and I used to debate if it was based on actual events or not.

The Fall was good, at least the first season.

She also voiced her own parody character on the CGI animated show ReBoot, Data Nully.

There are rebel aliens of the same species as the bounty hunter guys who sealed their face openings so they couldn't be infected. They were fighting the alien colonists, but since the alien colonists were working with the human syndicate most of their targets were humans or human/alien hybrids so they weren't exactly friends to humanity.

You know what never made sense to me? Scully and Mulder discover people and beings with fantastic abilities like controlling electricity, psychic projection, a legitimate genie, and none of them get weaponized for use against the world-ending alien threat.

Yep.

I enjoy finding all the Stargate actors as we go too.

IMDb returns 382 mutual credits. Even for two log running shows with an overlap in location that still seems above average.

When it aired on Sundays it was probably up against popular stuff.

I like that they threw Skinner an X-File of his own every now and then.

The one where they get addicted to the bracers that give them superpowers? That kind of drug episode?

Was there supposed to be non-supernatural explanations up until season 6? Because most of the time it was just ghosts or aliens or the leechman.

Depends on the bar for "non-supernatural". Is a silicon-based fungus from Firewalker supernatural? Are killer wood mites from Darkness Falls?

It always felt weird to me that Mulder kept pursuing this elusive, nebulous alien conspiracy when right at his fingertips he had a human leech, ghosts, psychics, time travelers, werewolves, random shape-changing dude, guy who could grow a new head, etc.

Part of that was his personal quest to find his sister.

An X-files episode where Scully is concerned about Mulder's obsession with a lone fly in their office.

If anyone wants to check out a show that does leave it ambiguous if it's supernatural or not, check out Evil. The first couple of seasons, anyways.

The premise is kind of the opposite of the X-files. The Catholic church hires skeptical investigators to make sure things like demonic possessions and miracles aren't hoaxes and don't have rational explanations.

Who's this guy partnering up with Scully and why isn't he Mulder?

EDIT: Oh right Mulder's being held in an invisible ship with an alien bounty hunter(s?)

That's John Doggett, and his personal X-File is wanting to know if you've seen this boy?

I think I've seen exactly one episode of Millennium and it was the one about three demons having a chat over coffee as a framing device for an anthology of sorts.
