The X-Files: The Erlenmeyer Flask (1994)
Season 1, Episode 24
10/10
They Rarely Get So Close
1 June 2018
One couldn't possibly ask for better finale for the season one as is 'The Erlenmeyer Flask'. This episode makes the real full circle with establishing the mythology for the rest of the show, but doesn't draw any conclusions. Open ending of the episode is perfect in two ways - either you want to see what is going to happen next, or when you are grown tired of the show then the ending gives some sort of solution.

Fast paced and thrilling episode starts in medias res of the high speed car chase. One of these episodes where the beginning is equally effective and exciting as its ending.

I can't describe the story of the episode as it would spoil too much, but it is the best written one of the first season.
