It also features a wonderful, discombobulating-as-ever performance from the fabulous Brad Dourif, cornering the market in creepy genre serial killers. Ice is one of the earliest episodes to explore Mulder and Scully’s partnership, while Beyond The Sea is the first to reverse their believer/sceptic dynamic, a trend which would continue with the occasional religious-themed episode until Scully finally gave up disbelieving in most things somewhere around Season Eight.

However, be aware that due to the nature of the piece, certain elements of world-building, bad guy-revelation, late character arrivals etc. Since part of the aim of these articles is to encourage new viewers, spoilers will be kept to a minimum. Chances are, there’s a whole generation of fans wondering what all the fuss is about (plus an enormous number of people who watched it at the time but gave up somewhere around Season Six).

Its fandom are credited with originating the terms “shipping” and “Monster of the Week,” it brought genre television to the mainstream at a time when most people outside of fandom said the words “ Star Trek” with a level of disdain usually reserved for low alcohol beer or decaffeinated coffee, and is made stars of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.Īnd now, The X-Files is back for season 11.
