Most of my favorite episodes come from Season 5, but the show really starts to hit its stride IMHO about halfway through S2 until the end of S5.
Good to know. Together, you and the other commenters have persuaded BB to persevere with with the show, so yay!
I can't in good faith recommend much past Season 6/7, but if BB gets into XF she'll probably end up watching them anyway against her better judgment, just like the rest of us poor addicted folk.
Oh, no. In this household, we have strict "canon ends HERE" policies; this is a major advantage of watching TV only on DVD. I can poll my friends list on where the ideal canon cutoff is, and then we both just pretend that the canon did indeed end there. It saves much heartbreak and sadness. We are very practiced at this. Okay, BB more so than me, because I tend not to watch any canon, but if I did, I would so entirely keep to idealized canon cutoffs. Pain saved!
The commenter who described X-Files like a bad breakup was spot-on.
Uh, yeah. It really seems to have left scars on a lot of people. I hope Chris Carter (...and I bet I'm not the first person to make a mistake and type that "Christ Carter"), wherever he is now, is happy.
