OK but I can only give you my view because it was a strange year as far as opinions go. There were several eps that some of us found wonderful and others just hated! VERY differing views!

As I mentioned below there was only one and a half I didn't like. The main one was Hungry. This was also very Mulder AND Scully lite but that's not my main reason for not liking it.

The other ep I didn't care for too much was First Person Shooter (FPS) which sam mentioned. The costumes were nice but that's really all there was, the window dressing. This was the second one written by the Gibson-Maddox team who did Killswitch which isn't a favorite either. I hope they won't be writing more!

My favorites of the year were Requiem (that would be my #1 pick) which is the finale so you'll have a long wait for that I guess! :-( and Je Souhaite (well that was second to last so I guess that one will be a while for you too!)

X-Cops was another favorite and many people hated this one which I don't understand at all.

I really liked the eps written and/or directed by our XF actors, DD, GA and WBD especially Davises! Those were Hollywood AD (DD), all things (GA) and En Ami (WBD)

The 6th Extinction and Amor Fati were both pretty good but not my favorite myth eps.
Some great scenes in them though!

Remember me emailing you about a two parter which I thought was just amazing and I raved about it? That would be the myth eps Sein und Ziet/Closure and has caused the most controversy because some loved it and some hated it. (Especially Closure) I guess it just depends on where opinions fall and you can judge for yourself.

Eps like Rush, The Goldberg Variation and The Amazing Maleeni were all decent MOTWs with Goldberg being the best.

Brand X and Signs and Wonders were both ok with Brand X being the much stronger one.
But they both had something that woud prevent me from ever loving them completely anyway. I'll just say two words: Bugs and snakes!

Chimera and Theef were mediocre to subpar MOTWs

I enjoyed Millennium a lot too. The big disappontment of the year was Orison.
Didn't hate it but it should have been better.

And finally Fight Club which keeps cropping up on people's lists as the worst epesode of all time! I didn't think it was so bad but then I'm very biased since I worked on it! You think I'm gonna hate an ep where I'm on screen with Fox Mulder?! (Be sure not to blink when you watch those scenes.:-))

That's it. I hope I didn't say too much!
And of course, as I think you already know, in Season 7 we are extremely Krycek deprived so be prepared!

One thing I liked a lot in S7 is that Mulder and Scully are working together a LOT throughout the year so it was very enjoyable to see them both together in so many episodes.
