The Essential X-Files

These are not the best episodes, but the ones most important for catching up with
the X-Files mythology.

With The X-Files coming back to TV in the not-too-distant future, I figure people
are going to start watching the series to catch up. It's a long series with a
complicated plot, and only some of the episodes are about that plot. So for those
wanting to rewatch the show but not sift through the entire series, these are the
essential episodes of The X-Files.

Ones with a * are not essential mythology episodes, but connect to the mythology.
Ones with ** are the best episodes of the series, but not part of the mythology.
The first movie takes place between seasons five and six is and important. The
second movie takes place after season 9, and addresses the ending of the original
finale, and has some small connections to season 10.

Regarding Episode numbers - The episodes have a production number (1x01, etc), but
they did not all air in order, so I also list the order they appear on the Blu-Ray
