I was as much in love with what I saw ON the buildings as I was with what I saw through the gallery windows. Lots of food for thought and creation.

So. The X-Files.
How do you explain a pop culture phenomenon that means something different to everyone who encounters it?
I guess you could describe it as a huge and sprawling science-fiction entertainment franchise. And, yes, technically, you would be right. But it doesn't grasp its true essence, does it?
I mean, The X-Files doesn't have countless spinoffs and media tie-ins like its great uncle Star Trek or its ugly stepsister Stargate. It doesn't have its own language system or religion or an endless stream of merchandise to hunt through. (And, let's be real, it doesn't have quite the same nerd factor as those properties do.)
If you really stop and think about it, The X-Files isn't like any other sci-fi cult series out there. (Sorry, Fringe.) It's got something sacred called "crossover appeal" - it caters to all different kinds of people across all demographics, all at once. For a series that regularly features obscure extraterrestrials and disturbing killers, it hardly ever alienates anybody.
The X-Files has, literally, got something for everyone. Whether it be the teenage girl who decided to start streaming it on Netflix last week and the forty-five year old man who religiously taped all episodes when they aired on Fox twenty years ago - this show is universal.
Why's that? Well, The X-Files is a delectable sampler platter that gives you a taste of what all different genres have to offer. You can have icky monsters, procedural crimes-of-the-week, political intrigue, car chases, soapy face slaps, witty one-liners, alien invasions, blockbuster explosions - and the meaning of life - all dressed up in a warm and baggy trench coat.
Oh yeah. And there's that sex appeal thing. I guess I forgot about that somehow.
This kitchen sink syndrome is something that The X-Files could afford to do, and do well, since its premise is deliciously simple. "Two FBI agents, one a skeptic and the other a believer, investigate the paranormal." That's such a blank storytelling canvas, isn't it? You could go anywhere and everywhere with that idea. Whatever comes out of it could either be very well done or very poorly executed; that all depends on the creative brains behind it.
Fortunately, we lucked out. The series was helmed by Chris Carter and his ever immensely capable pool of talented writers who knew a good story when they saw one. Their powers combined with the priceless talents of those in front of and behind the camera created a special kind of primetime alchemy that networks are still trying to duplicate over two decades later.
Was every single moment of The X-Files high quality? God no. Although most of us look back on the series fondly, we're all aware that it's got its share of stinkers.
But the highest highs of the franchise outweigh its lowest lows, and that's why The X-Files will forever sit on top of a TV-shaped pedestal. It's always going to be that one show that creeped you out while you were flipping through channels but somehow wound up winning your heart as you kept on watching.
Which is why I'm a little surprised that no one's ever decided to rank all of its episodes from best to worst (or vice versa). Until now.
(Spoiler - it's me.)
Yes, that's why I stand before you today, making grand statements about one of the most influential pieces of TV nostalgia ever. I've taken it upon myself to relive, review and rank all classic 202 episodes The X-Files has blessed (or cursed) us with, including both of those movies.
Kind of a big deal, no?
It's okay; breathe. I've watched all of these more than once over the course of my life, seeing as how this series has been around for most of it. The X-Files was one of the very first fandoms I was ever a part of, one of the only programs my family watched together every week, and one of my first experiences in getting the shit scared out of me. (Its soundtrack was also the first CD I ever bought! But that, my friends, is a story for another time.)
Before we get started up, there's a couple of things you should probably know.
1.) For the purposes of this massive listing article series, all multi-part episodes are being ranked together, as one narrative chunk. Does this mean that Season 2, Episode 16 "Colony" is better than its immediate follow-up, Episode 17 "End Game" since it comes up first in the ranking? Not necessarily. I don't know. Maybe. Stop being such a nerd.
This also means that some season finales and season premieres will also be ranked together because they're two-parters. This is where it gets a little slippery. But again, stop being a nerd. Nerd.
2.) Some episodes I will have more to say about than others. Deal with it.
3.) My good friend (and occasional shadowy informant) James Zark is providing a super cool illustration for every installment in this four part in this series. Each one will celebrate different eras of the show in a special way, so keep tuning in for that.
That said, here's a full look at the first image he's whipped up to kick things off. If you can't already tell, this one is all about the gothic glory of the show's first two seasons. That's right. The ones everybody loves. But don't worry, it's not a "fluke". Haha. Yeah. I went there. Wouldn't you? No, I guess you really wouldn't, would you.
(While I have your attention, James and I are also working with Ryan Fukuda on a brand new comic series called The Occult Generation that we're getting ready to launch soon. So keep your eyes peeled, yo. #shamlessselfpromo)
Now - without any further ado - let's begin our long and strange trip into that wild and crazy out there place where the truth is proported to be!
204. Sunshine Days (9x18)
Okay, it's the next to the last episode of one of the most important network TV shows ever. What's the best, most meaningful way to make use of this time?
Make it a Brady Bunch tribute.
Yep, you read that correctly. The penultimate episode of The X-Files pays homage to a little story about a lovely lady, a man named Brady, and their very lovely kids. I know the writers wanted to make this about the Twilight Zone instead, but they couldn't get the rights.
Still, why the Brady Bunch? Why not Tales from the Darkside or Law and Order or The Red Shoe Diaries? Why the fuck did they go with the Brady Bunch?!!
I mean, if they wanted to make a statement about classic television, they could have gone meta and wrote this one about a network producing a show about The X-Files. Oh wait, never mind. That was done in "Hollywood A.D." (Which we'll get to much, much later.)
- You're kidding, right?
203. I Want To Believe (2008 film)
Yes, the second movie.
Oh, don't act so shocked. Deep down, you know it sucks too. Stop fighting it.
What makes this installment in the franchise so terrible?
For one, it's technically not an X-File. If anything, it's more suited to be a mediocre episode of Millennium (which is saying a lot). There's simply nothing paranormal about it. Fine, whatever, there's a couple mad doctors doing Frankenstein stuff in a snow covered base somewhere in Canada. But that's not interesting. Sorry.
Fans had been holding their breath for half a decade waiting for a follow-up to the series finale that left a few important threads dangling. IWTB decided to only casually address those, settling for being a very uninspired standalone in the process.
Not only does it bore you, it smacks you in the face by getting the tone of the show all wrong. The X-Files was never a soapbox used to preach about hot button topics like stem cell research. It also was never overly sappy when it came to Mulder and Scully's romance. (Well, not most of the time, anyway.)
And no thanks, movie. We didn't want any Amanda Peet. No one at this table ordered that. No one! So take it back. We're not paying for it.
Whether you want to believe it or not, I Want To Believe is the X-Files at its most dull, uncharacteristic, trite and disappointing. (Sorry Chris Carter.)
- Skinner shows up at one point. I think.
- Amanda Peet plummets off a building in slow motion.
- Billy Connolly.
202. "Audrey Pauley" (9x11)
Agent Reyes is in a coma. (Ha ha.) Somehow, her spirit gets stuck inside a dollhouse.
And...yeah. That's it. Nothing to see here. Keep on scrolling.
- I said keep scrolling!
201. "Space" (1x09)
You've seen that face on mars, right? Well, in this episode, it possesses an astronaut. Crazy huh?
- Both Mulder and Scully's hair are on point for 1992.
200. "Fearful Symmetry" (2x18)
So, there's this zoo in Idaho, see. And some flashing lights. And an escaped elephant. And a guy in a really unconvincing gorilla costume. The truth is definitely not here, folks.
- Scully gets to perform an autopsy on the elephant.
199. "Agua Mala" (6x13)
Arthur Dales, a character introduced in an episode we haven't even ranked yet, calls Mulder and Scully out to Florida to stop a sea monster from killing people in an apartment complex. Except, uh oh, looks like it's not really a sea monster. It's actually "living water". Y'know. The kind that grows tentacles. Cool story, bro.
- Never having to see this again.
198. "Miracle Man" (1x18)
A faith healer is misused by his bible thumping father. Moral of the story: religion's bad, mmkay?
- Never having to see this one again, either.
197. "The Jersey Devil" (1x05)
Mulder chases this one nasty looking girl around Atlantic City. Not sure why. Meanwhile, Scully wears a really pink blouse. Then later, a vest. And finally...a red plaid blazer.
- Scully's pink blouse?
196. "The Rain King" (6x08)
Oh no. A romcom episode. Set in Kansas. Which actually looks a lot like California. (Huh. Imagine that.)
This time, a man claims to control the weather. Mulder and Scully are like…"Nuh-uh." But the town is all like..."Yes huh!" And we're watching it from home, being all like..."Fuck it. Let's just skip to the next one already."
- A cow crashes through the roof of Mulder's motel room.
- Victoria Jackson is actually the one causing the rain stuff because she's overly emotional. (Spoiler.)
195. "Medusa" (8x12)
Scully and Agent John Doggett investigate a flesh eating virus on a subway in Boston. Turns out, this flesh eating virus is actually glow in the dark body paint. Oops, I mean, microscopic sea creatures. Sorry.
- A random, inexplicable young boy is found in the subway tunnel. Who knows why. #plotdevice
- The subway recreation, which is one of the biggest and most expensive sets ever made for the entire series.
- Scully looks like she works at a call center for a majority of the running time.
194. "Gender Bender" (1x14)
Our dynamic duo track down an Amish person who can change sexes at will. (Not genders, mind you, because anyone can do that, seeing as they're social constructs. I'm looking at you, misleading title.) There's a crop circle somewhere in there too. So what? That doesn't make you cool.
- Nicholas Lea guest stars in a bit part way before being cast as Krycek.
- Mulder and Scully attend an Amish dinner.
- The cave scene is interesting?
193. "Jump the Shark" (9x15)
Who doesn't love the Lone Gunmen? Langly, Byers and Frohike are icons in their own right, and The X-Files sure as hell wouldn't be the same without them. Which is exactly why I don't like this episode. At all. (Kind of hinting around a spoiler here.)
This was designed to wrap-up the storylines from their failed spin-off and it succeeds in doing so, but only by boring those who never watched it. It also brings back the character of Morris Fletcher, who was always a stain on the franchise, but we'll be getting to him soon enough.
"Jump the Shark" is a lighthearted anti-standalone that ends in shoehorned tragedy, which makes it unintentionally distasteful. And Scully only appears briefly in what appears to be a very heavily medicated cameo, so that's unforgivable.
Because it's more of a Lone Gunmen episode than an The X-Files episode (and for the reasons listed above), "Jump The Shark" winds up close to the bottom.
I will say this, though: this one definitely lives up to its name.
- The opening credits? Wait, this is Season 9. Never mind.
192. "Teso Dos Bichos" (3x18)
This one's about...uh...cats? Evil cats. And not so evil rats crawling around in toilets. Plus, magic drugs. Can't forget that. Oh, and some dude's intestine hanging from a tree.
Apparently this was one of the most hated episodes by the production staff and David Duchovny. Can't imagine why.
- Cat puppets ripping through solid doors with their cute widdle cat puppet claws.
191. "El Mundo Gira" (4x11)
I don't know what it is about X-Files that deal with South American spooky stuff, but they sure are boring. So are the ones about flesh eating fungi. Guess what? This particular entry is about both. I really wish it was about El Chupacabra like it pretends to be. Instead, it settles for being a telenovela about migrant workers. Crap.
- Gotta love that theme song, man. So catchy.
190. "Roland" (1x23)
An autistic janitor holds the key to a series of murders related to industrial espionage and blah blah ghost twins blah blah blah. Can you hold on while I grab a Red Bull or something? Shit.
- The actor who portrays the titular character (Željko Ivanek) gives a truly memorable performance, at least. So there's that.
189. "Surekill" (8x08)
Scully and Dogget track down a killer who can move through walls. Kind of like Kitty Pryde, except…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- Huh? Whazza? Huh? No, I wasn't sleeping. Honest.
188. "Kaddish" (4x15)
So we're at this one now? About the golem? Fuck it. I'm going back to sleep. Wake me up when it's over.
- Besides my power nap? The gloomy cinematography was quite effective.
186. "Salvage" (8x09)
Agents Scully and Doggett track an undead metal man that seeks revenge on the bastards that screwed him over. Because fuck them.
- The action/horror scenes in this are...pretty good, actually. As is the metal dude's getup. Gotta love that Season 8 gore, too. (But it's still boring.)
185. "Shapes" (1x19)
In five words or less: "Native American werewolves, before Twilight."
All right, so that makes it sound cooler than it is, and may make you try to watch this one. Which I don't want you to do. (Please, do not watch this episode.) Trust me, whatever you imagined when you read those five words or less are probably infinitely better than what you'd actually experience. Honest.
- Scully's hair is extra poofy today.
184. "Ghost in the Machine" (1x07)
Oh no. This one. With the...evil...computer. No. Let's skip this. Please. I know, it's got its moments, it has its fans, but I don't care. It's putting me back to sleep. Can we just…
- "Dos-based debauchery." I forgot to throw in that line in up there. It's a good one isn't it? Thanks.
183. "Young at Heart" (1x16)
Mulder's old ex-boyfriend/nemesis starts harassing him and robbing banks. Wait, didn't he die in prison a few years back? Awkward.
- The best special effect ever: a dirty rubber glove.
182. "The Amazing Maleeni" (7x08)
An illusionist's head falls off after he twists it 360 degrees around during a street performance. Our sexy FBI investigators look into it and find out that his death may have been just smoke and mirrors. Because he's a magician. Get it?
- Some fun little character moments here and there, thanks to that Season 7 lightheartedness.
181. "Fight Club" (7x20)
Kathy Griffin's face causes people to beat the living shit out of each other. Wait, no. Scratch that. It's because of long lost twins. Or...something.
- I know this is the most hated episode of The X-Files ever, and I know I've ranked it higher than most would. But there was some clever material buried in here. Like the title. Watch the episode, think about it and get back to me. Or don't, whatever. It was just a suggestion. Jeez.
180. "Born Again" (1x22)
A young girl might be the reincarnated spirit of a New York cop that was murdered years and years ago. She also might hold the clue to the death of a recent officer. But the ultimate question remains: who gives a shit?
- No one.
179/178. "Nothing Important Happened Today I & II" (9x01, 9x02)
The first two episodes of Season 9 are glossy, cinematic and hint at The X-Files having been awarded a higher budget than ever.
They're also completely stiff and uneventful, and not in any way a good transition into the new 100% Mulder-less phase of the show.
Some say Season 8 was the death knell to The X-Files as we knew it, but nope. These two episodes single-handedly murdered the series. They give you a sense that this is a show that's finaly reached the very bottom of the barrel, creatively speaking, especially in terms of its overarching mythology.
What's this two-parter about? Let me try and break it down.
Lucy Lawless is naked. I mean, Lucy Lawless is a Super Soldier. And naked. No, wait. That's not a good place to start.
Okay, lets try this again.
Agent Reyes's ex, Assistant Director Carey Elwes, just began working at FBI Headquarters. She's thinking about hooking back up with him, but he's acting kind of jelly about Agent Doggett. And he thinks her new X-Files thing is weird.
Hold on, no. That's not a good place to start either.
Agent Doggett is running around trying to make his new investigation about A.D. Kersh stick. In the process, he finds out that Mulder ran away somewhere and abandoned Scully and her new baby. Why? Because...because. They have no answer for it. None.
Okay, so clearly this approach isn't working also.
Basically, the agents summon super naked Lucy Lawless from her underwater lair to find a secret Navy ship carrying all of this info about ova experiments because Scully thinks her baby might be a Super Soldier. Oh and that boat's going to explode, so they better hurry up.
These episodes take all the junk from Season 1 that never worked (the personal life drama, the soapy acting, the tedious office scenes) and presumes that you're interested in sitting through it now. Which you aren't.
What's even more insulting is they re-frame Doggett as a Mulder-like figure while lamenting Duchovny's absence in the same breath.
For a season premiere that takes it upon itself to launch the new "revamped" The X-Files, it relies too much on tying up loose ends from the Season 8 finale that nobody cared about. And that, ladies and gentlemen, partly killed the show.
- Naked super Lucy Lawless in her underwater lair.
- A callback to the unresolved Lone Gunmen finale.
- The title is spot on.
177/176. "Dreamland I & II" (6x04, 6x05)
I hate this two-parter. Always have, always will. How come? It wastes our time. Standalones don't need to be drawn out like this. Really, they don't.
Season 6 picks up after all of that dark fallout from Season 5 and the cinematic momentum from the Fight the Future with episodes like...this? Episodes that are thinly disguesed excuses for B-list comedians to guest star and be cute and funny? I can't even.
Anyway, this is about Mulder and Scully finally coming across Area 51. Sounds like that would be pretty eventful, right? Nope, it sure isn't.
Mulder gets body swapped with this douchebag named Morris Fletcher who will be seen again for seasons to come, unfortunately. Not because he's popular with fans or anything, but mostly because the cast and crew love working with Michael McKean, the dude from Spinal Tap.
Now, before you kill me several times, I want it to be known that I do like Mr. McKean. I consider him legitimately funny. Best in Show is a classic, and his role in 1997's That Darn Cat reboot --- completely life changing. But his character in The X-Files is so out of place and tonally inappropriate that his introduction was just one of the earliest sharks that the series decided to jump over and then stumble a bit.
That said, if you like your X-Files kooky and self-indulgent, then please: enjoy these two hours. If you're like most of us who don't, just know that the only bit of continuity that really mattered out of this is that Mulder gets a waterbed.
- Okay, so there are a few laughs in here somewhere.
175. "Alpha" (6x16)
There's an extinct breed of Asian dog running around killing people. Could a reclusive (and probably smelly) canine expert hold the answer to what can stop this pissed off pooch? Yes. (Yawn.)
- The dad from Hellraiser guest stars.
- Mulder finally gets back his iconic "I Want To Believe" poster that he lost at the end of the previous season.
174. "Firewalker" (2x09)
It's Scully's first case after being abducted. A volcano in Oregon is infested with deadly silicone-spores. No, not lava monsters. That would have been much cooler.
- Um...the guest performances are passable?
173. "Trevor" (6x17)
A white trash escaped convict is on the loose. What makes him so special? He can pass through solid matter. Wait, that sounds familiar…
- The story is emotional enough, and the guest cast is more than competent to make it work, but it's all very "been there, done that".
- Some great one-liners from Mulder.
172. "Trust No 1" (9x06)
Everything wrong with Season 9 in forty minutes. A very unintentionally hilarious forty minutes.
There's not a lot of coherent plot here, but I'll try to recap as best I can.
Doggett: "Somebody somewhere has info on dose supah soldiers. Dey only want to talk to Muldah tho. Can u send for him?"
Scully: "But Mulder is gone… :'("
Doggett: "It's OK, Scully. Just send 4 him."
Reyes: "YES IT IS GOING TO BE OKAY AGENT SCULLY WE PROMISE JUST DO IT K THX"
Scully: "I dunno...wait who's that woman and her baby? Wait, what is she doing with my baby? MY BABAY!!!! DROP MY BABAYYYYY!!!!!"
Woman: "…."
Scully: "DROP. MY. BAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY-BAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!"
Woman: "Sure. Btw, you are being watched by this evil shadow guy who sees everything like you pooping and Mulder pooping too."
Scully: "My...bay-bay?"
Evil Shadow Man: "It's true, Agent Scully. I've watched you poop. And I've seen Mulder pee. Come on out to the desert with me."
Scully: "Okay. (goes to desert) All righty, I'm here now."
Evil Shadow Man: "Bring me Mulder. Because. (blows up her car)"
Scully: "Okay. (sends Mulder an e-mail) He's on his way."
Stunt Man filmed from 80 feet away: "hi there everybody i'm fox mulder"
Evil Shadow Man: "Hey that's not Mulder, that's a stunt man filmed from 80 feet away."
Scully: "Yeah, and?"
Evil Shadow Man: (flies into a rock and dies)
Scully: (weeps for no reason)
- The beginning teaser montage is insanely good. Too good for this.
171. "Redrum" (8x06)
An old friend of Agent Doggett's is accused of killing his wife. He thinks he didn't do it...but he doesn't know for sure, since he's moving backwards in time. Sucky, huh?
Memento it ain't. I get what they were doing here, but put in the context of the highly experimental (not to mention controversial) Season 8, it detracts from the experience with its slow pace and its overly Twilight Zone-esque, Scully and Dogget-lite story.
- Joe Morton's guest performance really sells the episode, regardless.
170/169. "Providence/Provenance" (9x10, 9x11)
"Okay writers. We need to bring back all those fans we're losing because Duchovny's really gone now and no one cares about the Super Soldier stuff."
"Hmm. Let's tie the mythology back to that thing we did a couple years ago where aliens wrote the bible."
"But what about Scully's baby?"
"What do you mean, yes?"
This two parter is one of the worst mytharc installments ever. Fortunately, it's also one of the very last. A UFO cult (yes, another one) kidnaps Scully's baby. You know what that means: A lot of Gillian Anderson wailing "MY BAY-BAY!" between bouts of quiet sniffling through her long yet magnificent new hairstyle; Agent Reyes mouth-breathing incredulously with a blank look on her face; Agent Doggett looking confused as all shit; and Carey Elwes still standing around with no real explanation, purpose or reason.
- Some engaging sequences bookend each installment, but skip the rest. You have my permission.
168. "Quagmire" (3x22)
Is the loch-ness monster real? This episode dares to ask that question. But they don't call him the loch-ness monster. This one's named Big Blue. And (SPOILER) you only get to see him at the end.
- Despite some great character stuff, it doesn't pack a punch.
- Scully's temporary Pomeranian is finally eaten, thank god.
167. "Synchrony" (4x19)
Time travel. And murder, of course. We need some of that. Maybe some science too.
- Cool concepts, bland delivery.
166. "First Person Shooter" (7x13)
Wasn't The Matrix cool? This monster-of-the-week episode seems to think it was.
In it, Mulder and Scully face off in virtual reality with a cyber femme fatale that is more Mortal Kombat than Lara Croft.
Mainly, this episode is just an excuse for everyone get to dress up in body armor and wear little douche-baggy sunglasses and pretend to shoot things. Looks like they had more fun than we did.
- William Gibson helped write this. We forgive him.
165/164. "The Truth I & II" (9x19, 9x20)
How do you end a nine year run of a pop culture milestone? With the wimpiest of whimpers, sadly enough.
In a perfect world, "The Truth" would have been the event that fans everywhere had been waiting a decade for. It would be a shocking, provocative and game-changing endpoint to a historical television show. It would give us just as much surprise as it gave us closure.
In a perfect world, "The Truth" would be, well, a perfect series finale.
But this is the real world, folks - the world in which "The Truth" is a hurtfully forgettable two hours that wastes its running time on aspiring to be nothing more than a glorified clip show. The world in which "The Truth" is, actually, one big fat lie that pretends to be a profound final statement. The world in which "The Truth" is ranked in the bottom 50 of all X-Files episodes ever, instead of at the top where it rightfully should be.
Oh, what a world we live in.
- The end sequence mirrors the hotel scene from "Pilot" quite nicely.
- Cameos from the Lone Gunmen, X, Krycek, Marita Covarrubius, and Gibson Praise.
- Despite grating on the nerves of everyone during her tenure, Agent Reyes is given a nice final character moment that is at least somewhat redeeming.
163. "Underneath" (9x12)
Is that one weird guy Agent Doggett put behind bars back in the day the real "Screwdriver Killer"? Recent DNA evidence suggests no, but the real answer is more complicated (and nonsensical) than you'd care to imagine.
- The disinterested performance from Gillian Anderson delightfully clashes with the melodrama churned out by the rest of the cast.
162. "Soft Light" (2x23)
The guy from Monk is afraid of his own shadow. No, I'm not just using a figure of speech here. His shadow is pretty fucking dangerous. It can disintegrate anyone it touches. But don't be scared. Agent Mulder's going to make it all better.
- Tony Shaloub chewing scenery.
- Mulder wears sunglasses to a funeral.
161. "Excelsis Dei" (1x22)
A nurse is assaulted by a ghost in a nursing home. Who you gonna call?
- Some fun character interactions here and there, as well as some good suspenseful bits, but the whole episode is tasteless and insensitive.
160. "The List" (3x05)
Before a death row inmate is electrocuted, he swears that he will come back one day...and that five people will die in the process. No, this is not Wes Craven's Shocker, although that stars Mitch Pileggi (A.D. Skinner) and has an oddly similar premise. Do I wish it was? Yes.
- Carter directs this episode, and while he does a great job at making it spooky and dreary, it kinda drags.
159. "Unrequited" (4x16)
An invisible assassin leads Mulder and Scully to a shocking discovery: American POWs are still being held in Vietnam. So not cool.
- Great atmosphere.
158. "Shadows" (1x06)
Our heroes help an office worker and her ghost boss escape arms dealing middle eastern terrorists. Seriously.
- The scenes were the terrorist flunkies get invisible beat downs is pretty cool in a '90s direct-to-video kind of way.
157. "Hellbound" (9x08)
How about that Agent Reyes, huh? Ain't she somethin'?
Her latest adventure finds her visiting a small town in Virginia to check out some dude that got skinned alive and knew it was going to happen. Once there, she starts having her own premonitions. Yadda yadda yadda. Turns out, it's because of all this past life drama bullshit. I stopped paying attention so you didn't have to.
- The practical effects for the skinned people are very well done for 2002 network TV. The schmaltzy scripting and hammy performances are not.
156. "Aubrey" (2x12)
After uncovering a 50 year old cold case that's similar to one currenly being investigated, the agents theorize that violent genetic traits may have been passed down to a new killer.
- Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost) makes his first guest appearance.
155. "The Walk" (3x07)
An army vet without legs or arms might be killing people. But how?
- A quietly menacing standalone that's more reflective than terrifying.
154. "Mind's Eye" (5x16)
A blind woman is accused of murder. Did she do it? Nah, her dad did. She just gets creepy visions of him killing people. Nothing special.
- Except for Lil Taylor's performance, of course.
153. "Schizogney" (5x09)
This episode has two of your favorite things ever: child abuse and killer trees. Er, maybe those aren't your favorite things. Hmm. Well, either way, it's got 'em!
- Those trees though...
152. "Kitsunegari" (5x08)
This sequel to Season 3's "Pusher" brings back everyone's favorite psychic asshole Robert Modell, who's just escaped from prison. As he starts playing his deadly game of Simon Says again, he introduces the agents to his sister, who has the same mind-control powers he does. Oh snap!
- As you can see, he makes someone drink a lot of paint.
151. "Conduit" (1x04)
A teenage girl is abducted by aliens. Her brother believes that she's still out there somewhere. Sound familiar?
- All of the info-dumping to set up the big Mulder's sister mystery which will take years and years and years to finally pay off.
150. "Rush" (7x05)
You might have a hard time believing this, but midwestern teenagers are bored. Really bored. So bored, in fact, that they'll stumble into caves with weird single shafts of light that make them move at high speeds to do...nothing terribly exciting, although there's a lot of blood.
- It's basically a Goosebumps episode with balls.
And there you have it. The bottom 50 or so episodes of The X-Files. How do you feel? Offended? Concerned? A little bit thirsty? Ready for a nap?
Next week we'll be continuing on with the next 50 episodes (150-100) ranked. What can I say, it's only going to get better from here.

I am super excited to be traveling to NYC this week to be a guest on Marlo Thomas' show "Mondays with Marlo"! Whoo hoo! I am so lucky to have this amazing opportunity! I have done a lot of interviews the past few years but this is definitely the first time I can say say I used to own the doll of the person that is interviewing me. I used to undress her, ..the doll that is. Ok TMI, I know . I am just super excited for this one!
Marlo has asked that you the viewers of HTSFF send her in some questions that you want her to ask me. If you want your question asked on the show do so by sending it to her HERE. Just don't ask about the doll undressing thing. I don't want her to think I am completely crazy until she at least gets to meet me and decide that on her own!

Living the Fantasy: Martin Outta Month
By NBA TV's Rick Kamla
Our beloved NBA has already lost LeBron James to a sprained left index finger (for three games and counting) and Tim Duncan to knee and ankle injuries (for tonights Dallas game and counting), and now were down the seventh-leading scorer as well.
Fortunately, the James and Duncan injuries have not been reported to be serious, but the same could not be said of Sacramentos All-Star candidate Kevin Martin, who suffered a significant groin injury in Tuesdays win over the Jazz. Per internet reports, Martin will miss at least four weeks, and his absence could extend to six.
Through 17 games, Martin is the 24th ranked player across the primary eight categories (P-R-A-B-S-FG-FT-3PT) thanks to averages of 24.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.4 steals, and 85 percent from the line. Martin has been a disappointment in the field goal category, as increased defensive attention has dropped that mark to a pedestrian 43 percent after splashing 47 percent last season.
But we arent here to nitpick at Martins statistics, were here to console Martin (if hes reading), calm down the Kings Nation, and advise Martins fantasy owners.
(Speaking of statistics, I dont know if you saw this quote, but I gotta share it with you. Brent Barry from SI.com: Statistics are like bikinis. Theyre nice to look at but they dont tell you the whole story. Genius.)
If you are a fan of the Kings, first of all, lemme congratulate you on the coaching change from Eric Musselman to Reggie Theus. Thats like upgrading from Tara Reid to Beyonce. (I dont care what you say, thats an UPGRADE). Second, congrats on your teams owners, the classy Maloof Family, who fully intends to keep the Kings in Sacto. Finally, congrats on your teams shrewd acquisition of Salmons in the summer of 2006.
Salmons, picked 26th by the Sixers in 2002, proved he could play early in the season when
And Salmons was the hero of last nights win over the Jazz, scoring 13 straight points right after Martin went down late in the third quarter. Salmons finished with 21 points in 27 minutes as the Kings dropped a 43-point fourth quarter on the Jazz in the 117-107 win. As Theus said after the game: "Five or six times in a row I went right to him and he made something happen. You put him in the spots where he can play and he can usually make it happen."
Salmons isnt Martin, and Salmons was out of line for throwing a tantrum when he lost the starting small forward job to the reinstated Artest, but he will more than hold down the fort until Martin returns in early-to-mid January. By the way, Mike Bibby is due back from his thumb surgery in late January, so the Kings should have their starting backcourt reunited for at least the last two and a half months of the season. (That is, if Bibby isnt traded to Cleveland or Miami or somewhere else )
So if youre a proud Kings fan, please come in off the ledge. Its cold out there. And close the window behind you. Thanks.
Now to the fantasy portion of this transmission.
If you own Martin and did not already have Salmons for insurance, Im not mad at you because handcuffing starters and backups is rare in fantasy basketball. Unless your league has large rosters, you pretty much need to carry players who are getting enough burn to help your team TODAY. Its tough to carry upside guys like Salmons when they are only logging 20-some minutes.
That said, you need to pick up Salmons immediately because he is going to replicate the aforementioned starters numbers until Martin crawls back to the lineup. I just missed Salmons in League Freak, as I was beaten to the punch by Steve Alexander (Dr. A of Rotoworld fame).
But my disappointment in missing out on Salmons quickly morphed to curiosity with regards to a player already on my roster: Beno Udrih.
The Slovenian point guard, who was traded from the Spurs to the Wolves then dumped and signed by the Kings at the start of the season, has been a huge addition to the Kings lineup and a pleasant surprise to fantasy owners. Whereas the Kings were dying in the wake of the Bibby injury with point guard wannabes
As displayed by his averages as a starter, the dude can play the game. The Slovenian answer to Paul Rudd is averaging 15.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 threes, and hes shooting 49 percent from the field and 93 percent from the stripe in nine starts. If only Rudd could act that well. (Just kidding, freaks. Rudd is a known fantasy player and he was hilarious in Anchorman and Knocked Up. His wife in the latter was so annoying and so offensive to the male population, I had to tell my wife to get sick for me.)
Udrihs recent success raises the question, why did he lose the backup point guard job to Jacque Vaughn in San Antonio?
My theory is thatwhether it was a conflict of personalities or style of play or a combination of bothUdrih just wasnt a good fit in Gregg Popovichs system. Fair enough. Not every player can play for every coach and not every coach can coach every player. In other words, its not personal, just business, so hit the road and see if you fit in somewhere else.
Udrih has been everything Theus could have asked for and more, totally stabilizing this team. The Kings have won five of their last nine games and Udrih deserves a lot of the credit. Now that Martin is on the shelf, I could see Beno taking at least a couple more shots per game, which is obviously the right direction to be heading. To me, Udrih just went from intriguing fantasy prospect/pickup to fantasy rotation player. In other words, he should not still be on waivers regardless of league size or setup.
Which brings us back to Artest, who is playing with a heavy heart these days because his daughter is currently being treated for kidney cancer. On behalf of everyone here at NBA.com, our thoughts and prayers are with you right now, Ron.
Artest has said that when his daughter needs him, he will leave the team and be with her. But while hes still with the Kings, who need him more than ever without Martin, Artest should have several explosive games. He racked up a five-cat line of 23-8-5-1-1 in the win over Utah and those should be his minimums as long as Martin is out.
Before bringing down the curtain on this weeks LTF, I want to extend condolences to every NBA player and coach who has lost someone they care about over the past year. It has been a very, very sad year in that regard and we can only hope that 2008 brings more happiness and peace.

This application is a continuation-in-part of Application Ser. No. 584,274, filed Feb. 27, 1984 and now abandoned.
This invention relates to apparatus for feeding articles in end-to-end strip form and severing the leading article of the strip in an operating zone in which further operations may be performed on the article. The disclosed embodiment is particularly concerned with the feeding of electrical terminals in strip form to an insertion zone in which the terminals are inserted into cavities in an insulating housing or the like.
A commonly known type of electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities extending into one of its major surfaces and having a terminal in each of the cavities. Connectors of this general description may be of any one of a large number of particular types such as pin and socket type connectors, printed circuit board edge connectors or socket type connectors which are intended to receive an integrated circuit chip carrier.
In the manufacture of connectors of the type described above, it is common practice to produce the terminals in the form of a continuous strip and to assemble the terminals to the connector by means of an insertion machine which is usually of a specialized design as required by the particular type of connector housing and terminal which is assembled to the housing. The insertion machines used for these assembly operations in general feed the terminal strip along a strip feed path, sever the leading terminal of the strip from the strip, transfer the terminal to an inserting ram, and then insert the terminal into one of the cavities of the connector housing. The known types of machines used for these operations have reciprocating parts which push the terminal into the housing after it has been severed from the strip. Under some circumstances, a group of terminals may be severed from the strip and simultaneously pushed into cavities in the housing.
Machines which are used for these assembly operations must be capable of extremely high speed because of the large number of terminals in some types of connector housings and must be capable of precise feeding of the terminal along the feed path into the cavity in the housing, particularly when the terminals are extremely small and are inserted into equally small cavities in the housing. Chip carrier sockets for example have terminal receiving cavities which are spaced apart by only about 0.025 inches or less and the terminals inserted into such cavities commonly will have a thickness of about 0.010 inches or less. It can readily be appreciated that the design of an insertion machine having reciprocating parts which is capable of inserting terminals of this size into cavities and which is in addition capable of high speed operation presents substantial difficulties to the machine designer.
The present invention is directed to the achievement of an improved feeding apparatus for feeding articles such as terminals in end to end strip form along a feed path and severing the leading article from the strip. The disclosed embodiment is particularly concerned with an apparatus for feeding terminals in strip form to an insertion zone in which the terminals are inserted into the cavities in a chip carrier socket housing.
In accordance with a broad aspect thereof, the invention comprises a strip feeding means and severing means for feeding a continuous strip of articles, such as electrical terminals, along a strip feed path to an operating zone and severing the leading article on the strip from the strip in the operating zone. The strip has gaps therein at periodic intervals. The strip feeding and severing means is characterized in that a cylindrical support surface is provided, the support surface being mounted for rotation on an axis which extends parallel to, and is adjacent to, the strip feed path. The support surface has a first end, which is adjacent to the operating zone, and a second end which is upstream, relative to the direction of strip feed, from the operating zone. The strip feeding means comprises a feeding thread on the support surface, the feeding thread being dimensioned for reception in the gaps in the strip and having a thread pitch which is equal to the distance between adjacent gaps. The feeding thread extends helically on the support surface from the second end thereof towards the first end. The severing means comprises a fixed shearing member which is beside the strip feed path in the operating zone and a movable shearing member which is movable past the fixed shearing member to sever the leading article on the strip from the strip. The movable shearing member is on, and extends from, the support surface whereby upon rotation of the support surface, the strip is fed and the leading article on the strip is fed to the operating zone. The leading article of the strip is thereafter severed from the strip by the fixed and movable shearing members.
In accordance with one embodiment, the apparatus is intended for use with a strip comprising a continuous flat carrier strip having first and second side edges, the articles being integral with the first side edge and the gaps in the strip comprising notches in the second side edge. In accordance with a further embodiment, the fixed and movable shearing members each have first and second shearing edges, the first shearing edges being effective to shear the leading article in the strip from the carrier strip and the second shearing edges being effective to shear the carrier strip at a location which is adjacent to the article on the strip which is next to the leading article.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one surface of a chip carrier socket housing and showing a strip of terminals with the leading terminal of the strip in alignment with a cavity in the housing in preparation for insertion of the terminal into the cavity;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but showing a feeding and shearing means in accordance with the invention positioned adjacent to the strip of terminals;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a portion of the chip carrier socket housing and the insertion apparatus, this view showing the positions of the parts at the beginning of an operating cycle and before the srip of terminals has been fed;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but showing the positions of the parts after the feeding operation has been carried out and prior to the shearing operation;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 illustrating the shearing or severing operation;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the chip carrier socket housing showing a terminal partially inserted by the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 through 5;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 showing the position of the terminal in that cavity after complete insertion; and
FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view looking in the direction of the arrows 8--8 of FIG. 5, but showing the positions of the parts before shearing.
The specific embodiment of the invention shown feeds a strip 2 of terminals 10 to an insertion zone in which there is positioned a chip carrier socket housing 26. In the insertion zone, the leading terminal of the strip is severed from the strip and inserted into a cavity in the housing 26 as will be described below.
The strip 2 comprises a continuous flat carrier strip 4 having first and second side edges 6, 8. The terminals 10 extend from the first side edge and are connected thereto by connecting sections as shown. Each terminal has a web portion 12 which extends perpendicularly of the first side edge 6 and first and second arms 14, 16 which extend downwardly as viewed in FIG. 3 from the web 12. A mounting portion 20 extends parallel to the web 12 and is connected to the web by a connecting neck 18. Terminals of the type shown are described in greater detail in our copending application Ser. No. 827,133 (13614) filed Feb. 5, 1986.
The particular terminals shown in FIG. 1 are intended for surface mounting on a substrate and do not have terminal posts for soldering extending from the mounting portion. For surface mounting, the edge 22 (FIG. 6) of the mounting portion of each terminal is positioned on a conductor on the substrate and soldered to the conductor.
The second side edge 8 of the carrier strip 4 is provided with notches 24 at spaced apart intervals, the spacing between adjacent notches being advantageously equal to the spacing between the centers of adjacent terminals and to the pitch of a feeding thread which will be described below.
The chip carrier socket housing 26 has a major surface 28 and side surfaces 30 which extend normally of the major surface. The terminal receiving cavities 32 extend inwardly from the major surface and are in side by side relationship along each side of the housing 26. Each cavity has a rib 34 extending between its internal sidewalls as shown in FIG. 3.
The strip feeding and shearing means for feeding the strip to the insertion zone comprises a cylindrical support surface 36 which is mounted for rotation with respect to a shaft 38 (FIG. 2), the shaft extending parallel to and being adjacent to the feeding path of the strip 2. The cylindrical surface 36 has a first end 40 which is in or adjacent to the insertion zone and a second end 42 which is spaced upstream, with respect to the direction of strip feed, from the insertion zone. A helical feeding thread 44 is provided on the surface 36 and extends from the end 42 towards the end 40 although the end of this feeding thread is spaced from the end 40 of the surface 36. The thread 44 is dimensioned to be received in the notches 24 in the carrier strip 4 so that during each complete rotation of the shaft 38, the strip is fed by a distance equal to the pitch of the thread (that is, the center to center distance of adjacent terminals on the strip). It will thus be apparent that if the shaft 38 is rotated through a complete revolution from the position shown in FIG. 2, the strip 2 will be moved downwardly by a distance equal to the pitch of the feed screw thread and the leading terminal of the strip will be moved partially into the cavity 32 in the housing which is immediately below the leading terminal.
At the time of insertion of the leading terminal into a cavity 32, this leading terminal is severed from the first edge 6 of the carrier strip and the carrier strip itself is severed along a shearing line which extends between the first and second edges adjacent to the second terminal in the strip, the terminal next adjacent to the lower terminal in FIG. 2. The shearing edges are provided on a ramp 46 that extends spirally away from the cylindrical surface 36 adjacent to or at the lower end 40 of the surface. The ramp has an end surface 47 which extends radially with respect to the surface 36 so that first and second movable shearing edges are provided as shown at 48, 50, see FIG. 8. The first shearing edge 48 is a movable shearing edge which is cooperable with a first fixed shearing edge 60 to sever the terminal from the strip and the second movable shearing edge 50 cooperates similarly with a second fixed shearing edge 62. The first edge 48 extends parallel to surface 36 and the second edge 50 extends perpendicularly of the surface 36. As shown in FIG. 5, upon shearing of the carrier strip by the fixed and movable shearing edges 62, 50, a short section of scrap carrier strip 52 is produced which falls away from the insertion zone.
FIGS. 3 through 5 illustrate the operation of the feeding and severing apparatus and show in addition a guide block 54 for the strip 2 which has a slot 56 therein extending inwardly from its lefthand surface 58. The depth of the slot 56 is such that a portion of the carrier strip extends beyond the surface 58 including the notches which receive the thread 44. The lower end of the guide 54 is against or substantially against the surface 28 of the housing 26 and the slot 56 is in alignment with the cavity into which the terminal is inserted in FIG. 3 through 5. It will be understood that a conventional indexing apparatus will be provided for indexing the housing 26 at the completion of every operating cycle so that the cavities in the housing will be successively presented to the insertion station, that is, will be positioned at the lower end of the guide 54. The fixed shearing member having the first and second fixed shearing edges 60, 62 thereon is secured to this guide or mounted adjacent to the guide as shown best in FIG. 8.
It is desirable to design the thread 44 such that after the leading terminal of the strip has been inserted into a cavity in the housing 26, there is a brief dwell in the feeding operation in order to permit the shearing edges to shear the terminal from the strip and to shear the strip itself as shown in FIG. 5. This very brief dwell can be achieved by providing a short section of the feeding thread in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of the surface 36; in other words, this short section of the thread does not extend helically on the surface 36 but has a "zero pitch" and extends in a circular path around the shaft 38. The angular extent of this short zero pitch section of the thread can be quite small, no more than 15� or 20� of arc of the shaft being required so that the remainder of the surface can be used for the feeding portion of the operating cycle.
Feeding threads of the type shown are described in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,871.
The disclosed embodiment of the invention does not insert the individual terminals 10 completely into the cavities in the housing 26 but only partially inserts the terminals so that the mounting portions 20 are spaced above the major surface 28 of the housing as shown in FIG. 6. After terminals have been partially inserted into all of the cavities in the housing as shown in FIG. 6, all of the terminals are then fully inserted by means of a suitable tool which engages the edges 22 of the mounting portions and pushes the terminals downwardly until the edges 22 are coplanar with each other and are spaced from the housing surface 28 by a predetermined distance. This assembly technique is highly desirable for the reason that when connectors are surface mounted on a substrate, it is important that the edges, such as the edges 22, which are to be soldered to the conductors on the substrate be coplanar in order that good solder joints will be obtained with all of the terminals.
A complete operating cycle for the apparatus is shown in detail in FIGS. 3 through 5. At the beginning of the operating cycle, FIG. 3, the leading terminal of the strip will be spaced from the insertion zone and the lower portion of the carrier strip will have been severed adjacent to the end of the ramp on which the shearing edges are provided. During rotation of the cylindrical surface, the strip is fed by a distance equal to the pitch of the terminals on the strip as shown in FIG. 4 so that the leading terminal is moved downwardly and is partially inserted into the cavity which is beneath the strip feed path. Thereafter, there is a brief dwell in the feeding operation and the shearing edges shear the terminal from the strip and shear off the end portion 52 of the carrier strip. During this same interval, the housing can be indexed in preparation for the next operating cycle.
A salient advantage of the invention is that all of the machine parts which feed the strip and sever the leading terminal from the strip are mounted on a continuously rotating shaft which rotates at a constant speed in synchronism with the indexing mechanism for indexing the housing. There are no reciprocating parts in the apparatus which must be moved to and fro during each operating cycle and as a result, extremely smooth operation is achieved by the insertion apparatus of the invention. It will also be apparent that the apparatus is extremely simple as compared with inserting machines having reciprocating parts.

Daily Manna for Saturday, August 2, 2014
Daily Manna is a daily Bible devotional service provided by Biblica. The Scripture is provided in many forms and is new every day. It is a great way to receive the encouragement and hope found in the Word of God.
Matthew 10:1-10
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan
Ustad Ali Akbar Khan has been called "the J.S. Bach of Indian Music" in the west and this almost without exaggeration. Ustad Khan began his training at the tender age of three with his father the legendary Ustad Allaudin Khan of Maihar. He had early training in voice, drums and the Sarode. Khansahib gave his first public performance at the young age fourteen and was appointed a Court musician at the Raja of Jodhpur shortly before Indian independance. Along with Ravi Shankar, Ustad Khan was among the first Indian musicians to bring their music to the west. He has toured extensively in six continents for music festivals, radio and television. In order to disseminate the knowledge of Indian classical music in the west Ustad Khan founded the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Raphael California in 1968 which still continues the traditions of Khansahib's family. Ustad Ali Akbar Khan was awarded the "Padma Vibhusan" by the President of India in 1988. This is one of India's highest awards.

The aroma is enticing with intense plum, cherry and strawberry fruit with a hint of spicy oak. The fresh fruit momentum continues on the palate with vibrant plum and dark stone fruits finishing with some firm acid, beautiful tannins and integrated oak.
Viticulturist Notes
The growing season in 2014 presented some challenges including frost in late 2013 and extreme heat in early 2014. Once harvesting began in late January we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fruit and the resulting wines. Yields were down but quality was up this year. Whites have good varietal character, with great flavour, whilst the reds have beautiful colour and flavour intensity.
Wine Harvest Notes
The grapes for this Pinot Noir were picked and crushed during the cool of night to retain their varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a denser, richer colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction.
Food Recommendations:
Great match with roast duck and other game meats, medium intensity dishes like porcini mushroom risotto or soft cheese.
