I also liked the one with the flukeworm in the sewers. 

I enjoy the monster of the week episodes more than the alien, government conspiracy ones.  Maybe it's just me.

I love when the text flashes at the bottom of the screen, the moody music and dreadful atmosphere of most eps that are filled with 90s paranoia and angst.  I even liked the Millennium TV series.  Frank Black is one bad MF'er.  I never saw The Lone Gunmen spinoff series.  David Duchovny is very intelligent and has a charismatic dry wit about him.  Gillian Anderson is not your typical screen babe, but I find her attractive and wonder if the carpet matches the drapes. 

This show bears rewatching if you are in the mood for a good escapist thriller which often times makes you think.

 I don't know why, but that made me really happy.

I thought "Millennium" was great, too. It's too bad it didn't last longer. I think it would have done better in today's Post-"Lost" TV environment.

As far as the moody atmosphere of The X-Files is concerned, that was always one of my favorite things about the show. A lot of that was a side benefit of the show's filming in Vancouver. So many of the show's exteriors are overcast and/or rainy and it really adds to the creepy factor. Starting with Season 5 (I think) the show moved production to LA to accomadate David Duchovny's demands and you can really see the difference. The mood of the show really took a hit, IMO.

If I remember correctly it lasted one season too long.

I watched the episode Signs and Wonders last night.  There was a pastor who held a mouse over his mouth.  A snake proceeded to come out of his mouth, eat the snake, and return to the inside of his mouth/body.  No explanation, theory, nothing.
