Since I went back through the DVDs and my old VHS copies, my memory is sufficiently jogged to remember them. Going hardcore nerd and using the production numbers and episode titles, it's changed in: 1X23- The Erlenmeyer Flask (Trust No One) 2X06- Ascension (Deny Everything) 2X25- Anasazi (Ei...

I love both the monster-of-the-weeks and the mythology episodes. I don't know that even the writers would agree with me but I consider the mythology to be the heart of The X-Files.
