So far, this all seems pretty straight forward. Their first case together involves some possible abductions, a suspicious local community and a guy whoвЂ™s comatose and couldnвЂ™t possibly have anything to do it, therefore making him the number one suspect. Pilot (Season 1, Episode 1)Д¬hris CarterвЂ™s sci-fi gets off to exactly the start youвЂ™d expect, with Agent Dana Scully assigned to work with Agent Fox вЂњSpookyвЂќ Mulder, who has a reputation for being weirdly obsessed with aliens (because his sister, Samantha, disappeared when he was 12) вЂ“ just the kind of quality you look for in a co-worker.

Is that enough to understand the show? And what more can I discover from just 21 hours of a series that spanned almost a decade?ДЇrom what I learned in each episode to whether theyвЂ™re worth watching in the first place, this is a first-timerвЂ™s guide to The X-Files, written by an actual first-timer.

I went in knowing one thing: The X-Files is about two FBI agents, Mulder and Scully. Because someone out there has got to help all of us X-Files newcomers. Is it really possible to just watch those 21 episodes and make sense of the whole show in time for the new series? I put the theory to the test. I ended up with a list of 21 out of a total 202 episodes вЂ“ a sort of top 10 per cent of The X-Files, if you will. Now, though, like many people who missed out on David Duchovny and Gillian AndersonвЂ™s heyday, IвЂ™ve been asking myself the same question ahead of the new series: do I need to have seen the old X-Files before I see the new X-Files? And, if so, which episodes should I watch?ДЄnd so I went crawling back to my friends, the ones who had all seen The X-Files, and asked which episodes were the essential ones to watch.

It didnвЂ™t seem to matter that all I knew of The X-Files I had basically gleaned from The Simpsons. But itвЂ™s 2016 and, well, I was busy in the 1990s. It would be understandable if this were 1996, when the show was at its peak вЂ“ a time when Twitter didnвЂ™t exist, so there was no online place to share our excitement about strange monsters and David DuchovnyвЂ™s facial expression. The shock would continue for several minutes.

вЂњWhat do you mean, you havenвЂ™t seen The X-Files?вЂќ ThatвЂ™s what everyone I know has been saying to me since Fox announced it was bringing back its sci-fi series for a limited six-episode run.
