RHVR
Ryan Herbst's Viewer Reviews: voters logged on and voiced their opinions. On a scale of 10, this is what each ep. received. Subject to change.

XFEI
The X-Files Episode Index Surveys. Thousands of votes have been cast. On a scale of 10, this is what each ep. received. Subject to change.

IMHO
These are, In My Humble Opinion, fair scores, on a scale from one to ten, for all X-Files episodes. Unlike RHVR and XFEI, it actually runs the entire scale as opposed to sticking in that 6-10 range. I think that the spectrum at which XF episodes play is wide and there should be a system which reflects that. Please, I encourage those who disagree or agree with me to write me and offer your own opinions. If you have a system of your own which you think my table might benefit from, please let me know. NOTE: I haven't properly had time to really examine the last few episodes of the season so for the time being, several of the scores are somewhat homogenous.
