David S. @baxter667 Nov 19, 2025 Though I love this show in general, and the first six seasons are pretty good, this season is back to form!!! A better season than you think, it might be hard for modern viewers to vibe with the anthology stories, but All around the last great season of the show, and boy, did it decline after this one!!! See more Sebastian L @RT53077800 Feb 6, 2024 Season 7 offers some redemption from the leftover stew that is season 6, but still has too much of a "monster of the week"-vibe going. There are some very good highlights though that build on characters in a surprising way. See more Aug 31, 2021 My sister and I happened to be in this episode. We were extras at the boxing arena. We were supposed to attack each other due to the two sisters. I was and still am a big X-File fan. Unfortunately, David Duchovny didn't want to be there. He was burned out and you could tell he wanted out. He totally ignored everyone. That was disappointing. Because of that I've never seen the episode but I'm sure it's a must see.

See more Jul 19, 2021 A rather average season brought about by concerns that the show was going to get cancelled, the seventh season of this legendary series has its fair share of good episodes (an MOTW episode from the monster's perspective, the meta "Hollywood A.D.", the hilarious "Je Souhaite" and even a crossover with Cops of all things) and the reliable chemistry of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as well as some of the best visual effects the show has had up to this point but it's quite weak when compared to the six preceding seasons (and a movie + FMV game where I saw all the cutscenes on YouTube). Mythology episodes feature questionable revelations (this being the point where it came to light that Chris Carter had no epic master plan for the show), half of the episodes were forgettable (sorry guys but "all things" didn't really work for me) or reaching levels of so-bad-they're-good (remember Donnie Pfaster from Season Two? Turns out he really was a demon and that wasn't a hallucination Scully had in the heat of the moment. I'm actually more upset about that than I was with her infamous OOC moment...oh, you want an actual so-bad-it's good episode? "First-Person Shooter" was fricking stupid and "Fight Club" was...something) and I wasn't too fond of the ending if they really were concerned that the show was going to get cancelled. It definitely works as a final episode for the most part but the actual ending was one which I would not have approved of had Fox not opted to renew the show at the eleventh hour. Apparently, they would've tried to continue the story in cinematic format à la what Star Trek did from 1979 to 1991 (the cliffhanger even provides a premise similar to the third film) but knowing how things didn't work out after the 2008 film underperformed, it makes me wonder why Chris Carter didn't just let the agents have a happy ending when that potential movie might not have even been greenlit. I don't know, that season finale just really bugged me more than it should've. Nevertheless, this was an okay season of The X-Files and we shall soon see if I find myself liking John Doggett or constantly calling him "Not Mulder".
