Poll question: Favorite type of X-Files episode |
|
At the moment a monster of the week episode is on; I have a shrewd feeling that this is going to be the winner

2. I'm gonna have to go with the goofy ones... |
|
with the caviat that they wouldn't have worked without all credibility built by the excellent "straight" episodes, the best of which were mostly the monster of the week variety...

Especially the carnival episode where that hot dude hammered a nail into his nostril. I've got that on tape loop :)

7. I saw a description of an X-Files in a TV guide as, "Scully and Muldar inv |
|
estigate strange occurances in a small town"
Yeah that was it. That's like the description of 70% of all the episodes.

the episode with Giovanni Ribisi. The guy must have watched too many Mel Gibson movies & decided that acting consists of staring determinedly while bellowing.
His performance annoyed the hell out of me even BEFORE I heard he was a scientologist :evilgrin:

15. Ah shit you modified the poll. Goofy for me please. ANYTHING but |
|
the 'conspiracy unravelling'.
Examples of my faves: Circus freaks episode with Jim Rose troupe, and the Insurance Guy who can tell the way you're gonna die, with Peter Boyle.
Standalone stories were the best.

18. Did not; no red ink anywhere |
|
I would have altered it, but I had to go.
That Peter Boyle one was seriously terrific.

16. Any of the wierd shit in small town America ones |
|
the cannibals at the chicken factory, the episode with the backwoods freaks and Sheriff Andy Taylor, the (scary TV type, not IRL type) witches running a school, that kid who directs lightening, etc.
I also really liked the season one and two conspiracy episodes, which were awesome. After the show got really popular the conspiracy episodes weren't so good. :(

22. Definitely the Goofy ones.... |
|
If they include Jose Chung, the Vampire Trailer Park & the Cockroaches. How about the Shapeshifter with a Tail who almost seduces Scully?
But I do have a soft spot for the Lone Gunmen.
