[Alex Spindler]

This is probably a good list.

[Zen Butler]

Perfect Alex, I will confirm it and edit post.
Thanks

[Kevin Grey]

I don't think I would include Jose Chung on there.

[Alex Spindler]

I think it's included because it may have some underpinnings of the false alien abduction stuff in it.

[Daniel Kikin]

I would also include "Conduit" from Season One in there.

[Zen Butler]

Oh shoot, Daniel, you're right.

[Bill GrandPre]

There are obviously episodes where the mythology is more present than others but there are episodes not included in those lists that have huge mythology points in them. "Leonard Betts" is the best example. This episode would undoubtedly fall into the "Monster of the Week" category instead of the "mytharc" category but it was in "Leonard Betts" that Scully learned she had cancer. Other mytharc revelations were made in MOTW episodes. You can't fully seperate the two.

[Daniel Kikin]

Another on the bubble episode is "Demons" from Season 4, I'm not even sure how to classify this one. It's starts of as MOTW, but drops the MOTW part when it turns into mytharc at the end, but like Bill is saying, it's not really mytharc like the rest of the episodes on Zen's list.

Thanks Bill,

In the case of Leonard Betts, I would add it to the Season 4 list. You bring up a very important exception with this episode. They can be separated, the list would be a bit more lengthy. Ommitting the obvious MOTW does help.

Would you include "Eve" from Season 1?
"Musings of Cigarette Smoking Man" from Season 4?

[Daniel Kikin]

I'd include "Musings of Cigarette Smoking Man" and once you have that and "The Unnatural", I'd also put on "Travelers" from Season 5.
