About this listen

In 1993, Fox debuted a strange new television show called The X-Files. Little did anyone suspect that the series would become one of the network's biggest hits - and change the landscape of television in the process.

Now, on the occasion of the show's 25th anniversary, TV critics Zack Handlen and Todd VanDerWerff unpack exactly what made this haunting show so groundbreaking. Witty and insightful reviews of every episode of the series, revised and updated from the authors' popular A.V. Club recaps, leave no mystery unsolved and no monster unexplained. This crucial collection even includes exclusive interviews with some of the stars and screenwriters, as well as an original foreword by X-Files creator and showrunner Chris Carter.

This complete critical companion is the definitive guide to the The X-Files whether you're a lifelong viewer wanting to relive memories of watching the show when it first aired or a new fan uncovering the conspiracy for the first time.

We get it. You're not shippers.

An excellent moment by moment breakdown of most episodes of the X Files...but with a real anti-shipper slant, even down to leaving out important plot moments regarding Mulder and Scully's relationship. It's also clear that they didn't speak to Duchovney or Anderson or Mitch, but did speak with Harris and Chris Carter, who, I swear, does not know how to let it lie.
If that musical comes out, I will be personally affronted
