I have been working through the X Files with a plan to stop after the movie (at least for a while) and am currently in early/mid season 5.

I’ve been feeling exhausted by the mythology stuff for a season and a half now, muddling through it to reach the good stuff of the MOTW eps. “Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man” was an exception.

One episode I’ll highlight as loving while the general reaction seems to be mixed: “The Field Where I Died”. A kitschy story with the characters having been connected in past lives, sure, but the acting is good (and I’m someone who thinks Duchovny is mediocre on the show) and the direction by Rob Bowman is superb. Up next for me: Chinga, the haunted doll, scripted by the King of Horror himself!
Yeah, that's about where I fell off. I just felt beaten to death with the mythology BS that went in circles ad nauseum and never actually went anywhere. The MotW episodes left me so happy and then a mythology episode would drag me back down, and I just couldn't handle it anymore. Hope you keep going though! I want to get through it all one day.
