And even binging the show today on a streaming service, there's still a lot to get through before you learn the truth about its many tangled plot threads. But there are no such issues with a Mytharc rewatch. It's quite the opposite, in fact: you're positively overloaded with information, and pretty much every episode uncovers some massive new revelation to mull over. It's overwhelming more on that later , but hugely entertaining and satisfying. A lot of the best character moments happen in the relatively chill Monster of the Week episodes.
In the frantic, dramatic Mytharc episodes, Mulder and Scully rarely get any downtime to hang out, joke around, and learn about each other. This happens almost exclusively in the 'between' episodes, and this wonderfully written character development makes the emotional life-or-death situations in the mythology episodes hit way harder.
You've made it this far, now here's a killer two-parter to end the season and give you a big, gratifying hit of new mythology. As we explained earlier, this means the plot is constantly in motion, and you're never left hanging. The downside of this is that the show's central mysteries are exposed and stripped of their mystique a little too quickly.
Usually it would take a hundred episodes to learn some of these earthshaking plot details — but in this rewatch it takes half that, which isn't always a good thing. The truth is, as good as The X-Files is, it really loses its way around season 6 — especially where the mythology is concerned.
It's still fun to watch, but compared to the heights of seasons 3, 4, and 5, it's clear the writers were running out of ideas and hitting narrative dead ends. On a regular rewatch, the still-great Monster of the Week episodes soften this dip in quality, which makes a Mytharc rewatch quite challenging in places.
But, thankfully, it picks up again towards the end of the show's pre-revival run. If you've decided a Mytharc rewatch is for you, here's the best way to do it. The X-Files: Fight the Future.
