The Gift of “The Gift” may only be appreciated with the rest of The X-Files catalogue, which tonight and tomorrow will have two more episodes in its canon. So twisted and demented that Fox has never reaired it, this episode about a bunch of inbred killers. I probably should have.Īnd like an X-Files devouring shaman, I consumed all 202 episodes and regurgitated these, so that your soul may stay pure. Home (Season 4, Episode 2) Hands down, this is the scariest episode of The X-Files. “The Gift,” is not the best episode of The X-Files, but it is its apotheosis. It significantly distorts a simple formula in surprising ways.

I hate those oboes.īut “The Gift,” also embodies the best of The X-Files. There's a lot of talk of cancer-in Mulder's brain in people's kidneys-so there are a lot of Mark Snow's oboes floating around. Scully is completely absent ( visiting her daughter IRL) and Assistant Director Skinner can't carry that burden (sorry Mitch). “I don’t believe it.” I don’t believe it?īy many accounts, "The Gift" sucks. The serpentine, contradictory mythology, the obscene Monsters of the Week, the hilarious deus ex machina ( Of course Krycek is hiding behind that fern, ready to inject a mysterious serum into someone’s spinal column). All of the scorn I had held in abeyance for The X-Files came flooding back. Tears of maniacal laughter streamed down my cheeks. news home episodes movies calendar browse top charts premium TV schedule forums: The best.

“You had all this goo on you but you were brought back from the dead! Yes, you!” Track The X-Files new episodes, see when is the next episode air date, series schedule, trailer, countdown. “You woke up naked in a fucking cave, remember?” I was shouting at the television now, my abrupt shift in posture prompting angry flatulence from the faux-leather couch. “I don’t believe it,” says the guy who, four episodes earlier, was shot, killed, and had his dead body devoured and violently regurgitated by a soul-eating shaman, good as new. “It’s a medical mystery for sure, but don’t make me take a load of horse crap for the gospel truth,” he tells Agent Dana Scully in a Cop Brogue that would embarrass the cast of NYPD Blue. Mulder’s replacement, FBI Agent John Doggett-played, uh, doggedly, by Robert Patrick-refused to believe that Mulder and another alien abductee had somehow come back to life. His fungus-riddled body had just been exhumed, and though he showed signs of life, his fate was uncertain.

It was Season 8, Episode 15: “DeadAlive.” David Duchovny’s contract dispute meant that Agent Fox Mulder was dead-or mostly dead, anyway.
