Movie Reviews of The X-Files - The Complete Seventh Season (Slim Set)
Movie Review: Probably one of the weaker full-time Mulder ones
Summary: 4 Stars
The show can hardly be called consistent. There is great episodes but now and then there's always a clunker. Then again, season 3 which many recognize as the best did have a few fillers now and then. I mean who really liked Hell Money or the List? Well season 7, along with 5, is probably one of the weaker seasons but by no means is this an outright terrible season. It's got its moments, it just doesn't have the same level of greatness as previous seasons had.
The Sixth Extinction: A nice episode that shows Mulder's condition showing a weird side effect. 8.5/10
The Sixth Extinction II Amor Fati: A quite nice episode that delves into Mulder's life had he abandoned the X-Files and we get a great appearance by Samantha. 8.5/10
Hungry: Despite the performance by Chad E. Donnella, it's a very slow and kind of boring episode about a brain eating mutant. 6/10
Millennium: A surprisingly good crossover where Mulder and Scully team up with Frank Black(of "Millennium") to prevent 2000 from being apocalyptic. 8/10
Rush: A likable episode in which kids become the next Flash only not using it for the right reasons. 7.5/10
Orison: A great/creepy episode with a wonderfully-done ending which features season 2 baddie Donnie Pfaster back and he's fixated on Scully. 9/10
The Amazing Maleeni: Another likable episode dealing entirely with the magic of scheming magicians.
Signs and Wonders: A kind of poor episode where a religious man uses snakes to go after unbelievers. 5.5/10
Sein Und Zeit: Well the first half is wonderfully done about a girl who mysteriously vanishes. 9/10
Closure: Oh man. We finally get a resolution to the Samantha storyline and it falls completely on its face. Emotionally and visually it's beautiful but the explanation? Smacks of laziness. 9/10 for the episode itself, 5/10 for the story.
X-Cops: Personally I loved it. A creature is found stalking California residents and the camera crew of "COPS" is following them around. 8/10
First-Person Shooter: Another likable but flawed episode where Mulder and Scully take on Krista Allen and her hotness in a digital environment. 7.5/10
Theef: Another decent episode that has a guy going after a doctor using voodoo/hexcraft. 6/10
En Ami: Smoking Man writes an episode where Scully enters a reluctant partnership with him and the episode's good. 8/10
Chimera: Another decent episode that has Mulder on his own solving a case of the raven creature. 6/10
all things: don't ask about the non-capitals. But Gillian Anderson writes/directs a Scully-heavy episode concerning a former flame. It's not awesome like One Breath or Memento Mori but it's quite good. 8.5/10
Brand X: ANOTHER decent episode with oddly the best anti-smoking message you'll see. 6/10
Hollywood A.D: X-Files goes Hollywood and Mulder and Scully hate it. David Duchovny writes/directs this funny one. 8.5/10
Fight Club: One of the so bad it's good episodes where Kathy Griffin(who I can't stand) play doppelgangers who leave disaster whenever they get too close. 4.5/10
Je Souhaite: Another funny episode involving a jinnyah(female genie) who grants wishes that don't bode well for the wisher. 8/10
Requiem: Mulder and Scully return to Oregon to revisit the people from the Pilot and 2 surprising twists for the lead. It's a fitting finale that thankfully wasn't the series finale. 9/10
The biggie episode of course is Closure, which finally answers the question after 7 years of what happened to Samantha Mulder. While it's certainly a great looking episode and emotionally its topnotch, the way that the resolution is told to me screams laziness and writing themselves into a corner. Also in a weird way, they didn't have the original actress, Vanessa Morley, to play her. While it's not that big of a thing, it would've ended things on a nice way.
The real problem with this season is that there's too many decent episodes. It seemed almost easier to pick the great ones because there wasn't as much to remember. It is a season of ambitiousness since we get X-COPS, First-Person Shooter, all things and Hollywood A.D(in a way) and the season premiere.
It's a season that's still worth watching(even 8 and 9 have its moments now and then) but the consistency of great/good episodes on here is quite off.
