Focused lightning bolts, stigmata, possession, and ancient curses become secondary in Season 3 of The X-Files as more episodes are devoted to pursuing the increasingly complex story threads,
“The Blessing Way” is an explosive start, introducing the Syndicate’s well-manicured man (John Neville), while Scully’s sister Melissa is shot and Mulder experiences Twin Peaks-like prophetic visions,
We learn of medical records of millions, including Scully, who have been experimented upon (“Paper Clip”) : the fast-paced train-bound two-parter “Nisei” and “731” suggests the experiments are about alien hybridisation,
Krycek turns out to be hosting an alien in the next double-act, “Piper Maru” and “Apocrypha”, in which Skinner is shot by Melissa’s killer,
Two great one-offs outside the arc are “Clyde Bruckman’s “Final Repose”, a bittersweet tale of foreseeing death (featuring an Emmy-winning performance from Peter Boyle) and Jose Chung’s “From Outer Space”, a spoof of alien conspiracy theories through an author’s investigations into abductees,
