2 | The Ultimate X-Files Skippable Guide | |||
3 | Hello, I'm Jesse and I created this list. It'll be an ever-evolving thing as I continue to add more sources. A bolded title simply means that I personally skipped the episode on my last watch-through of the series. Sometimes I skip episodes that are recommended to watch (and vice versa). Take this as what it is—a guide. I hope it's helpful, and if you have any feedback feel free to email me at jessejchapman@gmail.com. | |||
