The inevitable episode where Mulder gets himself committed.
Folie a Deux is a great creepy episode that is almost a black comedy, but remains a fine creature-feature for the tail-end of season 5. There's some Philip K Dick in this episode - as well as a touch of Lovecraft.
We are admittedly in danger of just praising Vince Gilligan all the time, but this is a really good penultimate episode that has nothing to do with the conspiracy.
The End is the end. Or at least was going to be when The X-Files - like Star Trek - shed any mundane ideas about being a TV series and would instead metamorphose into a film series. That came crashing down to Earth pretty fast, but this episode at least seems prepared for all change and soon.
Shame its a bit of a mess and stuff happens and people do things and Nick is still better he was charged fuil-price for one VHS tape of this episode as it was allegedly vital to the film's setup (Spoiler: barely).
Since we've hit the end of a season we do the usual best and worst episodes - along with best villains.
