A personal list of offending stories---your mileage, of course, may vary (and probably should):

"Home" is, in my opinion, one of the very worst shows---possibly, THE worst---of the nine years. I know it was meant as sort of a "Twin Peaks" tribute, but as I never enjoyed that series, the effect was lost on me...also, the unforgivable stupidity displayed by Scully and Mulder (watching a cop get killed by the booby-trapped house, *AND THEN* they choose to enter it themselves) and complete lack of either suspense or real need for the agents to even BE there in the first place...plus the fact that it would have been a LOT scarier if, instead of killing the sheriff and his wife, the three mutant scum brothers were maybe their best friends. That would have been lurid and creepy.

"Trust No 1" is Scully's all-time lowest point. She moans and weeps throughout the storyline like a love-sick teenager (the line "I wanna see [Mulder] SOOOOOOO bad" made me literally cringe) and Doggett, who is clearly in love with her, does nothing but wait around for her to decide what to do, which may work on afternoon soaps but is completely unacceptable from a hero on an action-adventure-suspense series that wants us to take it seriously. Also, the discovery of how to "beat" the supersoldiers is shoehorned into the last 5 minutes of the show....

Another big offender from the last season is "Jump the Shark"---both because it killed the Lone Gunmen off, and because the final cemetery scene was lacking in any emotional content. Scully has literally been saved from her own death on at least two or three occasions by the boys, and all she can do is frown?????? (When Mulder is later seen in the finale, he speaks to their ghosts and never once dispalys any grief of his own, either, and we know he owes his own life to the Gunmen, too.)

"Closure" is very, very bad, too...after positing for several seasons that Samantha is still alive, at least in clone form (which, while not as good as the original, surely beats what the rest of us would have, which would be nothing at all), Mulder simply "decides" that she's dead and lets go of her. I can understand his desire to get on with his life after 24 years of searching for her, but this was really disappointing...and the New Age, touchy-feely "turned into starlight" thing was excrutiatingly bad, too.

I loved "Millennium" the series and was mostly glad to see Frank Black do the XF ep of the same name, but the *complete absence of the Group* in that story was incredibly lame.
