I can comfortably say this is probably a Top 5 show for me as well, even accounting for the rushed way they wrapped up the finale.

I can still go back and watch episodes from the first 6 seasons or so (with a few stand outs from 7, less-so from 8, and practically none from 9), whether they're Mythology, or stand-alone.

(We don't talk about the reboot episodes)

The reboot had some pretty fun monster of the week episodes, The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat and the one with the lizard werewolf are a couple of my favorites.

It felt more like an episode of Black Mirror, but I did love how it had almost no dialogue. Really cool concept.

It was on the nose but yes it was very unique. It reminded me of when the x files was one of the best shows on tv

The Michael Emerson Brady Bunch episode and Burt Reynolds is God episode in season 9 weren't too bad. I liked the William episode too.
I actually thought season 8 had some solid mythology episodes (that season 9 kinda retroactively made worse by muddying up the alien replicant plot into supersoldier bullshit). Plus, Vienen was a very solid black oil story that was basically the only time the show teamed up Mulder and Doggett.
