Chris Carter’s strength as a writer was always in crafting larger mythological arcs and that’s not something he’ll have room to do in the show’s six-episode reboot. There are entire seasons of the show-mostly the Duchovny-less ones-that fans are happy to pretend never existed. There were definitely great episodes that had nothing to do with Wong or the Morgan brothers we certainly wouldn’t want to forget the contributions of the writing staff’s most famous alum: Vince Gilligan. His upcoming episode for the reboot is titled “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Man” and promises to be just as bonkers as anything he’s written. Morgan’s ability to pair the absurd with deeply poignant storytelling is what makes his episodes unforgettable. 1 answers I got when I asked X-Files fans to name their favorite episode, and the former earned Morgan the only writing Emmy The X-Files received in nine seasons. The younger Morgan only wrote four episodes of The X-Files and they’re all absolute gems: “Humbug,” “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose,” “War of the Coprophages,” and “Jose Chung’s from Outer Space.” Both “Bruckman” and “Jose Chung” were the No. But when Darin Morgan’s name crops up, you know you’re in for something otherworldly. When Wong and Morgan’s writing credit crops up in an X-Files opening, you know you’re in for a solid hour of television. The pair returned for Season 4 to co-write, among other things, one of the best and creepiest episodes in X-Files history: “Home.” Morgan and Wong are responsible for many, many classic X-Files stories that set the tone for the entire series, including “Squeeze,” “Ice,” “Beyond the Sea,” and Wong’s directorial debut “Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man.” Wong and Glen Morgan were integral in creating the first two seasons of the show but left during Season 3 thanks to a lucrative offer to create their own show.

With the exception of some ambitious, mythology-heavy two-parters, the clear winners were Wong and the Morgan brothers.

But, inspired partially by comedian Kumail Nanjiani’s re-watch podcast, The X-Files Files, I only started watching the show in 2014, and everyone I knew was full of opinions as to which episodes out of the 202 that originally aired were most worth my time. If you watched The X-Files all the way through for the first time in the 90s, you may not have paid special attention to who wrote which episodes.
