The X-Files aired thirty years ago today on September 10, 1993. Rolling Stone ranked the entire series. The full list can be read at the link above.
Some of their picks:
118. The Host
"I’m not entirely sure that ‘The Host’ is a good episode of The X-Files, let alone an okay one. But honestly, it gets bumped up so much for how fucking gnarly the monster is."
35. Drive
"It’s... a pivotal episode in the history of television, as writer Vince Gilligan formed a burgeoning relationship with the excellent Bryan Cranston, who stars in this episode, ultimately leading to his casting in Breaking Bad."
14. Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man
"[A]n incredible origin story for our favourite Morley’s smoking figure."
5. Jose Chung’s From Outer Space
"It’s wonderfully meta and an exceptional hour of television that deserves its place in the Top Ten."
3. Home
"‘Home’ is one the very best episodes throughout the entire series, with its unrelenting commitment to telling a story of pure darkness."
