The X-Files: Space (1993)
Season 1, Episode 9
Oh dear...

Although this has a reputation for being the all-time worst episode I'd probably go with "Teso dos Bichos", which is both amazingly boring and hilariously cheesy. Not that "Space" doesn't manage to be cringe-worthy at times, but for the most part it's just a dull, uninteresting story as opposed to a genuinely terrible one.

Although Chris Carter would go on to write some brilliant standalone episodes his early efforts were frequently sub-par, and it wouldn't be until "Darkness Falls" that he would write a remotely memorable standalone script. Well, memorable for the RIGHT reasons that is.

The special effects in this episode are goofy, there's a miserable excuse for a plot, and aside from one or two fun character moments and bits of dialogue it's genuinely hard to sit through.

3/10
