Comments: The X-Files continued to get better in its second season. There's a little more focus on the government conspiracy, with Skinner, Krychek, and the Cigarette-Smoking Man becoming more prominent characters. There's still a bevy of self-contained, monster-of-the-week episodes, but by-in-large they're all pretty decent and entertaining. The one thing that stuck with me that I didn't notice the last time I watched this season was how often Mulder or Scully (or both) are attacked/abducted/infected, almost to the point of absurdity. Scully particularly has quite an awful season, yet never is adversely affected, as most normal people would be. Still, Season 2 of The X-Files is a strong and entertaining series. I'm going to take a little break before diving into Season 3 so I don't get burnt out on the monster-of-the-week episodes, which is what happened the last time I tried to watch the show straight through.
