Apart from the fact that the episode in question is in fact entitled "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man" ?

Well, perhaps. I must admit I rather like the "funny" episodes.

Anyway, my favorite guitarist is Randy Rhodes from Ozzie Osborns band, and my two fave vocalists are Freddy Mercury and Ian Gillian.

It’s a great episode, but the best episode is Home.

Depends if you prefer the mythology episodes or the stand alone ones.

In addition to "Home", I like "Anasazi" and "Syzygy".

Man, I haven't watched one second of X-Files since it ended. Was the only show I remember ever taping on my VCR. Never missed an episode.

Gonna have to revisit it...but am afraid it is not gonna hold up.

I'll come back to this poll when I get to that specific episode, cause I don't remember it.

I really liked Folie A Deux. For the later Dogget (Robert Patrick) episodes I thought Via Negativa was a good one. That show got pretty ridiculous by the end with the Super-soldiers and Mulder going "missing" and having Scully & Mulder's stupid fucking kid that had some mysterious power like that goddamn Star Child on the original V series. Gillian Anderson was a piece of ass though! While we're at it so was Jane Badler who played Diana on V. As was Faye Grant who played Julie on V.

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose ftw!

Anasazi - Blessing Way - Paper Clip was the best three-episode arc tho. I get the old DVDs out to watch it as a stand-alone movie every now and then
