Welcome to the third episode of this epic journey in Revisiting The X Files.
Through 11 seasons, two movies and several stand alone novels, these podcast episodes will be a discussion and revisitation of the series from the very beginning, exploring the good and the bad of every episode, and eventually coming to the point where every piece of the X Files puzzle has been set in place.
So please join me over the coming months and, dare I say it, years, as we dive into The X Files.
Today's third episode indulges in a little listener feedback (from more people than I ever expected to actually listen to the episode!) before we explore Episodes 10 to 14 of Season One.
