The TV Addict 

Favorite episode is SMALL POTATOES – what’s not to love about SMALL POTATOES? Mysterious monkey tail babies being born in a small town, a woman convinced that she was impregnated by Luke Skywalker (Scully deadpanned: “Did he bring his lightsaber?”) circus freaks, “Mulder” coming onto Scully…one of the most hilarious episodes of the entire series and is always the first episode that comes to mind for me, even though I love the mythology and other eps as well.

“Jose Chung’s from Outer Space” Jese Ventura and Alex Trebek as Men in Black. Charles Nelson Reilly. What more do you need? It’s the best blankity-blank episode ever and no blank-hole can tell me different!

Runner-Up: “Small Potatoes” I can’t pass this one up whenever I see it on the grid. It always makes me laugh.

Am I the only one who appreciated X-Files best as a comedy?

Home, most definitely. It was the episode everbody talked about before we saw it and even after. It suddenly awoke my fascination for the inbreed family-genre in film also, so huge bonus there.

“Humbug.” Circus freaks and Gillian Anderson eating a bug. What’s not to love?

Gonna go with “Pusher”, followed VERY closely by “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” and “Small Potatoes”.

“Home”, b/c it was one of the scariest episodes of any TV show I’d ever seen.

I love the previous episodes mentioned like “Home” and “The Field Where I Died” but I also really like “Quagmire” from Season 3.
The episode is about a small town that supposedly had their own Loch Ness Monster. Mulder of course believes in the possibility of this monster existing. At the end of the episode he thinks he’s shot it down when it comes on to dry land, however it turns out to be just a crocodile thus convincing Mulder that the monster was just another myth and exaggeration. After Mulder walks away dejected there’s a long shot of the nearby lake and the Loch Ness type monster does in fact emerge swimming through the water. At that point, i was like “nooo Mulder there it is!” I thought it was a cool creepy episode that reflected all those folklore stories and mythologies about things that go bump in the night.
