Sage and I infamously went back and forth over which trilogy represented the best of the show when we picked our top 15 episodes for the show’s 20th anniversary.
(Will I ever not SCREAM when Krycek appears in the mirror lying in wait to kill Bill Mulder? No.) The abduction arc and the Anasazi arc both blow the world of The X-Files wide open. It’s as powerful now as it was the first time I saw it in the summer of 1998. It’s the best season finale of the series, and that’s saying something considering that The X-Files nails every single season finale for nine seasons. Because at the end of the day, as great as “Anasazi” is as part one of a trilogy, it also stands on its own as an incredibly strong episode.
