I have their origin novels, which take place in late March and early April of 1979. As Mulder tries to solve his sister Samantha’s disappearance in _Agent of Chaos,_ _Devil’s Advocate_ shows Scully getting in over her head after a deceased classmate appears to her during gym. By chance, Mulder and Scully have a brief exchange in the former book. I’ll keep it small, but Scully didn’t want Mulder and his team disturbing the energy of the building they were in. I know its name, but I’ll keep quiet about it so both stories stay fresh should you want to read them.

I started watching "The X Files" by accident. I was a fan of "Adventures of Briscoe County" and set the VCR to record it while the lovely missus and I went to dinner. We got home and I realized I recorded X Files by mistake. It was the episode with all the cloned girls, and their fathers being exsanguinated.("Eve") I watched every episode after that, and caught the first bunch on reruns when they came on.

They used to post fake TV show names where they parked RVs for actors/actresses and the film crew, to prevent the locals from visiting the site. 🤣 I remember watching the pilot episode of the X-Files while not knowing that was a paranormal based TV show.. 🤣

Thank you for including Paper Hearts. Incredible episode. Noonan is scarier as a human serial killer than anything supernatural they faced. I’d complain that the list is too comedy heavy, but over the decades, I’ve found that the humourous ones are ones that hold up best upon multiple rewatches. Outside of Paper Hearts and Pusher, there aren’t a lot of serious or scary ones I go back to anymore.
