Season 6 of “The X Files” is probably the best season of the series, in my honest opinion. It deserves a perfect 10.

The mythology episodes (and their conclusion in the “Two Fathers/One Son” story arc) are the best ever – a perfect blend of science fiction, horror, mystery, suspense and spy thrillers. It’s fantastic the way Chris Carter gave us convincing special effects for a 1990’s tv show.

Standalone episodes were also at their best, with gems like “Drive,” “Milagro,” Arcadia” and “Monday.”

The only failure was the truly horrible episode, “How the Ghosts Stole Christmas.” It was truly as stupid as it sounds. It just can’t drag down the otherwise amazing season, though.
