Before we get to the countdown, I'd like to give a big hearty thank you to xfilesnews.com. These guys have been keeping Philes, in the know for months now. They've also totally revamped their website, and it looks great. Some body's been working awfully hard, I for one, am totally grateful. I love you XFN...and I also love you...

"Requiem"
Season 7, Episode 22
"Requiem"
Season 7, Episode 22
Mulder and Scully head to Bellefleur, Oregon. The site of their very first x-file seven years ago. Scully's health begins to go south, and Mulder makes a discovery, that may end their partnership, for good.
Why I love it: Because it's great! Thanks for reading! No, I kid. The mythology (alien) episodes have lost a lot of ground since season five. "Requiem" is an attempt to bring mythology back to the foreground and it works. Taking Mulder and Scully back to the location of the "Pilot" episode, with all the original actors it a stroke of genius on Chris Carter's part. Not only is it a big wink to the long term fans, but it also adds realism to the show, which heightens the scare. This piece is a good set-up for season eight. It puts all the pieces in place, staying true to all the character building, we've seen in the latest non-mythology episodes. Scully's more willing to believe, Mulder is no longer blinded by his quest, and...are they opening up to each other?! Cuddling?! Unbelievable! We've come a long way baby! Speaking of babies...the ending of this episode, always makes my chin quiver. Which is just another reason it's on the list.
