I will say this makes me think I should delete ofd my hard drive any season past 5 for x files now cause I never even get that high and it seems bad if this is how passionate you were about it.
Lol nah, it’s not like that, I think seasons 6 and 7 were okay. There’s a lot of good episodes there! It’s just the turning point where the series started having a lot of bad/forgettable episodes and the overall mythology went off the rails. Seasons 8 and 9 on the other hand do nothing for me and won’t be missed if you’re trying to free up a few GBs on your plex server or something.
The reboot seasons (10 and 11) from 2016 are mostly misses EXCEPT for two episodes written and directed by Darin Morgan. S10E03 “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” and S11E04 “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat”. They’re both comedic MoTW episodes and hold their own against the best comedic MoTW episodes from the original series. I highly recommend any X-Files fans who didn’t give the revival a chance watch those two specific episodes. They’re classic X-Files stories.
