‘Young at Heart’ shows ‘The X-Files’ at its most bland, despite a few attempts at greatness.

Aside from a single supernatural plot point, ‘Lazarus’ feels more like a standard incarnation of any ‘CSI’ episode.

‘The X-Files’ combines religious cults, gender identity, sexual paranoia, and alien lore into an intriguing, yet not entirely successful, ‘Gender Bender.’

‘The X-Files’ treads even closer to ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ comparisons in the heavily Scully-focused ‘Beyond the Sea.’ Gillian Anderson scores her first great performance.

‘The X-Files’ tries on an unusual case, a serial killer with the ability to generate and control fire. As a result, the results are intriguing and off-beat.

Mulder and Scully investigate genetically engineered killers in ‘Eve,’ a creepy and engaging episode that focuses less on supernatural terror and more on biological terror.

‘Fallen Angel’ is a better variation on ‘The X-Files’ alien mythology. It’s light on explanation, but it feels more coherent and focused than recent outings.

Even ‘X-Files’ obsessives would have a hard time covering for ‘Space,’ surely an early candidate for the worst episode of the series.
