1x03 Squeeze

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

With The X-Files revival, 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.

The first movie takes place between seasons five and six is and important. The second movie takes place after the series.

All episodes of The X-Files listed as Freak of the Week

This is a list of the "Law & Order" and "Chicago" franchises, which frequently crossover with each other, as well as other TV shows and movies they crossover with, or at least share the same universe.

A companion list to my X-Files Mytharc list.

It contains episodes that are only loosely connected to the Mytharc, which was the case for a few episodes in the early seasons that were sometimes only connected by a single scene or a character's first appearance.

In additional the best non Mytharc episodes can be found on this list as well - in a few cases only because of single scenes, guest stars or writers.

If you do not know what to watch beyond the Mytharc, go for the episodes written by Darin Morgan. You can't go wrong with his comedic episodes!
