favorite characters and stories


I remember when the X-Files premiered, I looked over the agents and didn't think much of them. But my story soon changed and today find it one of the best. It makes me want to believe.

Who are your favorite X-File characters and what story themes were the most intriguing for you?
My faves are Covarrubias, Kritschgau and Krycek. And I found all stories surrounding the 'black oil' to be the most compelling. What are yours?

Oh my goodness, there are so many good ones! Where to begin??

I loved the whole storyline with Scully getting pregnant and the whole crew, including Krychek, getting her and her baby to safety. I was devastated when Mulder was taken but really loved John Doggett as well.

My favorite episodes are the funny ones! In no particular order: Jose Chung's From Outer Space, Hollywood A.D., Bad Blood, Small Potatoes, Dreamland, Je Souhaite, Arcadia, Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster, The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat.

So many good times!

I always enjoyed an appearance of the Lone Gunmen.

For Sure. Wouldn't have thought anyone could have worked their way in as successfully once Duchovny was gone but very surprised Robert Patrick snuggled himself into the part of the skeptic quite well. And Annabeth Gish's chemistry was excellent by his side.

The Lone Gunmen appearances were always a highlight for me. And it was too bad their series did not take off but I was impressed how well the writers covered their tracks and continued them in the X-Files for a bit longer.

Also another super character is the Alien Bounty Hunter. Such fun when ever he or his story suddenly shows up and Brian Thompson was certainly the perfect choice, such a believably strange intriguing man.

As we all do, I have my own scenarios of what should and shouldn't have happened at particular points, as well as high and low points on the characters - however never disappointed. Great series, I think a lot of Chris Carter.
