BEST. EPISODE. EVER
"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - the classic third season episode of The X-Files - ranked #35 in TV Guide's list of the 100 greatest television episodes of all time. The magazine called the episode "No ESP needed to see the Emmy coming Peter Boyle's way for his X-traordinary role as a psychic helping Mulder and Scully catch a killer." (The list included only one episode per series.)

FORMER X-FILES SCRIBE REBOOTS ALIEN NATION
Tim Minear, who penned episodes of The X-Files, Angel and several other genre television series, has been tapped to develop an update of Alien Nation for the Sci-Fi channel, according to Variety. Alien Nation was originally a 1988 feature film centering on the relationship between two cops - one who happened to be an alien. The film led to a short-lived television spin-off on Fox. "The new Alien Nation would include a mythology that evolves over time and will also touch on some of the issues of the day, such as the immigrant experience and how society integrates an incoming culture," Variety reported.

SCULLY HEAT
The X-Files star Gillian Anderson was named by Entertainment Weekly.com as one of the Sci-Fi Hotties of 2009 for her role as Dana Scully in The X-Files: I Want to Believe. The website noted: Okay, so the X-Files sequel came out last summer and belly flopped at the box-office. But Anderson's Scully, with her potent cynicism and stoic faith in science, proved a vision of ethereal beauty in Chris Carter's otherwise bleak and frozen cinemascape. Or, yeah, she was totally hot.

WOMEN OF SCI-FI
Last month, Anderson's X-Files alter ego ranked No. 4 in a list of TotalSciFiOnline.com's 25 women who shook up Sci-Fi (Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley of the Alien series topped the list). The website said of Scully: FBI agent Dana Scully is less of an action heroine than some of the other figures here. But what she lacks in kickboxing prowess she makes up for in cool reason and dogged detective work, and it’s fascinating to watch her skeptical views challenged to their limits over the course of nine seasons. Last year’s film I Want to Believe may have been a tad underwhelming, but it was still a welcome opportunity to see Scully again.

Only 38? Should be number one!

Does anyone think that there is a better XF episodes than CBFR?

[pipermaru91]

Yea, I agree. That episode is the definition of a classic.

[peas_and_corn]

I thought the definition of 'classic' (in modern usage) was little more than 'good and old'

[Righthere]

I always saw the episode as a short film not really a part of a series. I would call a classic one something like the Blessing Way.

I was given the definition of  'perenially modern', which is pretty good, although I cannot remember who said it.
