![]() ![]() And although “My Struggle III” and “IV” are predictably terrible, the other myth-arc episode of the season, “Ghouli,” is actually pretty decent, because it leans into the most engaging aspect of the myth-arc, the emotional impact. “This” and “Nothing Lasts Forever” are also less than great – the writing in “This” is especially painful – but the other Monster of the Week episodes that made up this 10-episode season are all pretty solid and “Familiar” is especially strong, returning to several elements of the early seasons, including brutal murders, dark, wet woodlands, and of course, Scully doing an autopsy. The X-Files Season 11Īlthough the revival seasons are a long way from the show at its best, season 11 would be ranked higher if it weren’t for the first and last episodes. Worst episode: “The Truth” – We wish we could say this was the worst of the various options for The X-Files series finale, but then there’s season 11… 11. Unfortunately this includes the then-series finale.īest episode: “John Doe” – Monica Reyes is an underrated character and “Audrey Pauley” is a nicely mysterious hour for her, but ultimately John Doggett is the more interesting and more likeable late-run Agent, and his experience with a memory vampire allows the show to experiment in fun ways with location and style. Meanwhile, the rest of the myth-arc episodes from this season suffer from the same problem as all late-season myth-arc episodes, which is that they are horribly convoluted and not much of it makes sense any more. That episode, a stealth finale to the cancelled spin-off The Lone Gunmen which killed off the titular characters, has been a stone around the neck of the revival, which keeps trying to find ways to bring them back. When you literally call an episode “Jump the Shark,” you know you’re in trouble. ![]() ![]() The appearance of Einstein and Miller as younger versions of Mulder and Scully is just bizarre, and not in a good way. Worst episode: “Babylon” – Very odd tonally. Best episode: “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” – While not quite as strong as Darin Morgan’s Season 11 episode, this is a fun hour with great guest performances from Rhys Darby and Kumail Nanjiani. ![]()
