"Jump the Shark." Season 9 episode 15. I find plenty of X-Files episodes uninteresting and dislike them intensely. Other episodes end in such a heartbreaking or devastating way that I hate their existence. This episode, while tragic, is also just DUMB. I hate this episode because not only do three beloved characters die, but they die without reason. Yes, they die as heroes, but the plot that led the episode in that direction was entirely senseless. And, okay, seriously, why did TPTB think it was necessary to kill off the Gunmen? It just doesn't make sense. I understand when producers kill off characters to shock the audience - to show them that nothing is safe. (I'm a Joss Whedon fan. I've learned this lesson many times.) But this death was just done so poorly that the effect was lost on viewers. I haven't seen the episode in about a year, and I've only seen it once, and probably will never watch it again, so it's difficult for me to be specific. But, please, take my word for it, this episode is awful.
