The X-Files 2x21: "The Calusari": As much as the series featured a crazy alien conspiracy arc, there was always an underlying spiritual warfare angle as well. Episodes like this strike right at the heart of that, and even suggest it will become a major plot arc of its own. That never quite materializes. But as far as this episode is concerned, the conflict is real. This is a fairly dark episode overall, a nice contrast to the previous installment. #TheXFiles

The X-Files 2x20: "Humbug": The first Darin Morgan episode, and an absolute classic. While I love it when the show takes itself seriously, this episode strikes just the right balance. At this point, the show has run just long enough for the self-parody to work, since the fandom was already remarking on its tropes on the nascent internet. Everyone knocks it out of the park, but I personally love some of the line deliveries from Duchovny. #TheXFiles
