Episode Descriptions:

Beyond the Sea: A death row inmate named Luther Lee Boggs claims that he is psychic and can lead Mulder to a serial killer in exchange for a lesser sentence of life in prison. The agents' roles are reversed in this episode, with Mulder doubting Boggs's claim and Scully believing him after she is told that she can communicate through him with her recently deceased father.

Fresh Bones: One morning, after two gruesome hallucinations, Private Jack McAlpin crashes his car into a tree that has a voodoo symbol drawn on it; the second death of a marine in two weeks that has featured that symbol. The marines in question were guarding a processing center for Haitian refugees, and when Mulder and Scully visit the center they find the deaths were not as unexpected as they seemed.

Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man: Mulder, Scully and Byers meet with Frohike, where he details what may have been Cigarette Smoking Man's real life.

Field Trip: The skeletonized remains of a young couple are found in the fields of North Carolina. When Mulder and Scully go to investigate, they find that a giant fungal life form releases an LSD-like drug into the air with spores, and then slowly digests its victims. Mulder and Scully fall into its trap and are not sure of what is reality and what is fantasy.

Brand X: While protecting a man due to testify against the Morley cigarette company, Skinner is horrified when the witness dies mysteriously. What the agents soon discover is that a new brand of cigarette has a dangerous secret.

The investigation leads to the discovery of a familiar face, and to Skinner's life being threatened.

Alpha: An Asian dog, called the Wanshang Dhole—thought to be extinct—is blamed for several killings. Mulder and Scully join an obstinate Sheriff, a seemingly eccentric hunter, and a reclusive canine expert to find it. However, there is more mystery to the expert than meets the eye.

While this blog gets on its feet, I'll be posting some low-stakes polls comparing episodes set in the same location.

Any location (cities, states, countries, and even continents) with at least two episodes set in it are up for grabs.

Data is primarily based on Katy DeCorah's mapbox of Jane Robert's "Mapping the X-Files". An episode does not have to be entirely set in a location to qualify.
