Black oil and colonization because they were to me the backbone of the x files mythology. The Abduction was a little bit loose and only the interlude to the remaining mythology. I don´t know the Super Soldiers because I quit after the seventh season finale.
black oil definitely. i may have been very young when this show came out (i was 4 in 1993), but i definitely remember the black oil when that started. It was the most creepy of all the mythology because it sorta reminded me of the borg. actually alot of sci-fi series in movies/games/tv have been inspired by this storyline, because X-File is often used for pop-culture reference's and i imagine it will for a couple more generations to come. X-Files, along with Buffy/Angel are essentially Immortalized. Who doesnt remember "Once More With Feeling"?
Seasons 3-5 were the most Intresting+the first film
The mythology became a mess after rebels killed elders In season 6.They ran out of Ideas.
Fan theorys after the two fathers/One son two parter were more intresting than anything we got on screen after that.
Super soldiers and he cop out on Samantha Mulder were the worst.If they would have siad In series finale the enttie hybrid project end result was the super soldiers that could have saved the super soldiers plotline and keep It connected to classic Mytholgy.
Never liked any of mythology-oriented episodes anyway. At some point those plotlines became too complex (not in a good way), cumbersome, convoluted. IMO the best episodes of the show are the monster-of-the-week type.
I was always someone who liked the monster-of-the-week stories - but they were never what made me watch the show - it was the mythology. The Super Soldiers were the weakest storyline - but the Black Oil was my favorite.
I put the abduction and colonization on the same level, only b/c the end of the colonization was what led to much of the weaker seasons of the show. That said, the best of the colonization trumps the abduction period (which is by no means bad).
I still want to see how it all ended in 2012 personally
I'm probably in the minority here, but I thought seasons eight and nine were a step up in quality. Since the movie the show had sort of fallen into a funk, particularly in season seven, which still had some pretty great episodes, but c'mon, Mulder and Scully getting trapped in a video game? Seriously? Mulder's disappearance opened up a lot of storytelling avenues that would otherwise have been closed, particularly for Scully, which is why season eight is actually my favourite in terms of mythology. It gave the show new life, it felt fresh and scary again. Plus, how genius was the role reversal with Scully being the believer trying to convince her partner of what was really going on, when the whole time it had been the other way around. I love all seasons of The X-Files, but to me the super soldier story line breathed new life into a show that was slowly dying.

Definitely Black Oil. Not surprised to see Super Soldiers losing, it was a really poor mythology era.

ReplyDeleteLong live The X-Files! Fight the future, guys!!!
Abduction for me. I think the way they incorporated Gillian's pregnancy was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBlack Oil and Abduction, but I never liked of the X-Files mythology - much more preferred procedural episodes.
