Nope, it’s not a take on ‘The Shining.’ Instead, a man arrested for murdering his wife lives each day in reverse, hoping his memory will provide clues to the killer.

‘The X-Files’ returns to the creepy child genre with ‘Invocation,’ a story that goes to such great lengths to deepen its central mystery that it fails to crawl out from it.

Vince Gilligan relies on tired cliches to amp the horror in ‘Roadrunners’ where a mysterious cult kidnaps Scully.

‘The X-Files’ returns to a more traditional ‘Monster of the Week’ story line coupled with Scully and Doggett’s differing investigatory styles. ‘Patience’ tries to reach the heights of ‘Home’ but fails completely.

Scully and Skinner fight the bounty hunter and overall paranoia in the compelling ‘Without.’

‘The X-Files’ kicks off its eight season with one question on everyone’s mind – Where is Fox Mulder?

‘Requiem’ closes the seventh season with Mulder experiencing a close encounter of his own, and Scully finding news of a pending little visitor.

Vince Gilligan gives ‘The X-Files’ what is reported to be its last great hurrah in ‘Je Souhaite,’ a fun and frothy confection that combines accomplished effects with an amusing storyline.

‘Fight Club’ features Kathy Griffin playing half sisters whose chance encounters instill legendary violence in those around them. An intriguing idea is woefully underserved by all involved.

David Duchovny takes another stab at writing / directing an ‘X-Files’ episode where his signature sense of humor fits better with the self-reflexive story.
