Poking fun at the quirks of my favorite shows
I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #19. When I think about Roland, Mulder is not the first thing to come to mind. Other than an interesting dream he…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #20. Fire feels like an episode where the primary goal was to broaden Mulder's characterization. We learn about his past relationships, phobias,…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #21. Shapes gets a bad rap from The X-Files fandom which I don't think is entirely deserved. It's a very moody and…

Pointless Review My X-Files fanaticism began during the middle of the fourth season when it was already a glossy, immaculately produced mini-movie that happened to come out every week. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson could play their characters in their sleep…

The third season of The X-Files is brimming with episodes that I could watch over and over. Ranking them is probably a pointless endeavor considering my list changes pretty much daily. Oh well, such is life. Read on and also…
