Does anyone have a guide to the best/most important xfiles episodes for a new fan? I have a friend that wants to watch the show before the new season starts but doesn’t have enough time to watch all 200+ before that.

That’s a tough one! There’s many lists of “the most important” episodes of the X-Files, but it’s hard to find the right one. It depends if she wants to focus on the mythology, or on Mulder and Scully’s relationship, but you have to include to comical ones because they’re really good even though they don’t have mythology in it. There are also very good stand alones with no mythology and no important msr scenes… 

I’m so useless here, I’m going to shut up, leave that here, and hope someone better than me can help you! 😀

News about NYCC has my head spinning. I live in NJ so I will definitely be attending. When do we normally find out if they will be doing photo ops etc? Do you have any insight on CC or links to pages of people that have the best tips for the panels. All and any suggestions welcome… I need to get my photo with them..Don’t care how much they are charging!

Haha! I’m so happy for you that you get to go!! I wish I could! You’ll have to wait a little bit that NYCC releases the schedule, but I have no doubt they will be doing signing and photo op. Usually, they both spend a day or two at cons, so they might even be there on Saturday, who knows! Save some money, though. VIP package can be quite expensive! Good luck, don’t die, and report everything!!
