The conclusion of an X-Files two-parter, ‘End Game’ feels more cinematic than any previous episode of the series both in terms of plot and pure scale.

In ‘Colony,’ Scully is again endangered by a shape-shifting killer, and Mulder’s sister has apparently returned from her alien abduction.

‘Fresh Bones’ brings the very appropriate subject of voodoo into ‘The X-Files’ with decidedly mixed results.

Mulder and Scully investigate a teen’s death in a quiet, sleepy little town that just so happens to be populated by a practicing Satanic cult in ‘Die Hand Die Verletzt.’

‘Irresistible’s’ chief villain relates to ‘The Silence of the Lambs’s’ Buffalo Bill and elicits a rare emotional reaction from Dana Scully to his crimes.

‘Aubrey’ is an oddity which excels at creating a genuinely frightening atmosphere as it plays with unreliable memories, past lives, and fear of pregnancy.

Mulder and Scully investigate deadly assaults in a nursing home in ‘Excelsis Dei,’ a decent haunted house episode marred by questionable sexual politics and a faulty ending.

Red herrings fly as a religious sect may be to blame for the disappearance of local teenagers in ‘Red Museum.’

‘Firewalker’ bears too striking a resemblance to the earlier ‘Ice’ and ‘Darkness Falls.’ But, you know, it’s in a volcano this time!
