Generally a very strong, mature season, a close second to Season three. The mythology storyline mostly takes a welcome break from the confusing colonisation / cloning story and takes a backseat to the stand-alone episodes. Fortunately these are mostly excellent with some great thrillers, monsters and a "back to basics" UFO story in "Tempus Fugit" / "Max". Production values and effects are excellent, and all episodes are well-crafted without being too slick. Arguably the highlight of the season is the revelation of Scully's cancer and Gillian Anderson's touching performances bring a lot of emotional depth to this storyline. Some lighter episodes are more than welcome in what is generally quite a serious and solemn season, but none are as good as Darin Morgan's genius work on season three.
This is where the series hits it's peak. the goverment are still conspiring, scully still doesn't fully trust Mulder. Yes they still haven't kissed, are the aliens are getting creepier. Even a character who can grow a new head, told you they were weirder! This really is only good for X files fans, i wouldn't advise if you are not a big fan, it gets to complex as the series goes on, you have to start with series 1 if you don't want to lose the plot!
A great show that lasted for many seasons. A little 'spooky' in terms of aliens, but not over the top. In fact the two main characters develop a rhythm of believing there is alien life form or there isn't. It's also a tense love story, again with the two main characters.
