Favorite type of X-Files episode

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

[ghostsofgiants]

1. No specific type

But the weirder and creepier, the better.

[Salviati]

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...

3. Monster of the week

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

Khash.

[tridim]

8. I would have called that episode quirky

What would you call the underground fungus/hallucination episode? I loved that one.

[khashka]

13. I'd call that one quirky

By the way, can I steal your sig? I love it!

Khash.

[tridim]

14. Go for it.. I stole it from The Daily Show.

4. alien conspiracy, since the evil ones have taken over in DC

...and we're all trying to unravel "the truth" as we speak...

5. Any episode where Frohike taunts Skully (She's tasty) - TLG live forever

Love The Lone Gunman. Funny guys.

[AlienGirl]

17. Frohike was a cutie!

I wish TLG had stayed on the air longer.

6. The one that the monster lived in the porta-potty. n/t

[I Know How To Do it]

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.

9. LEAST favorite --

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:

[WhollyHeretic]

10. I enjoyed any of the ones that didn't deal with the

unraveling the alien conspiracy, those tended to get pretty boring.

[Initech]

11. Personally I think the alien conspiracies were far more interesting.

[Jara sang]

12. Jose Chung's: From Outerspace was awesome.

What you talkin' about goofy?

[Bossy Monkey]

20. Wellllll

SCULLY: You never saw this. This didn't happen. You tell anyone, you're a dead man.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

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.

[Bossy Monkey]

18. Did not; no red ink anywhere

I would have altered it, but I had to go.

That Peter Boyle one was seriously terrific.

[LeftyMom]

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. :(

[gmoney]

19. The one where they ALMOST get off the island...

...always reminded me of Gilligan's Island in that regard.

[DS1]

21. The ones where they'd GET TO THE FUCKING POINT OF THE SHOW!

Fuck that monster bullshit, get to the aliens you bastards!

That's why I stopped watching the show, it got stupid - quick.

[Bridget Burke]

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.

23. Why no Krycek ?

What gives?
