M: Mytharc and Monsters of the Week

I prefer Monster of the Week episodes over Alien Mytharc episodes. The Mytharc episodes were hard to follow until the last few seasons when there were more of them back to back. The MOTW episodes give us some of the best characters in all of TV history. Below you'll find a list of my favorite MOTW episodes and my favorite Alien episodes...they're in order just in case you want to have some sort of fun X-Files marathon. Awhile ago you could just buy the Alien episodes and you can still find them (Abduction, Black Oil, Colonization, Super Soldiers).
