THE X-CAST X-FILES EPISODE TOURNAMENT - Bad Blood's Journey to the Final



Tomorrow sees the big final of #TheXFilesEpisodeTournament (find the hashtag on Twitter), which sees Season 5's BAD BLOOD face the first movie, FIGHT THE FUTURE.

Before it begins, we thought we'd break down the journey each finalist took to get here, voted by you.

ROUND 1

BAD BLOOD (84%)
v
EN AMI (16%)
49 votes

A decisive first round win for the comedy vampire story against Season 7's Scully/CSM road trip. 'En Ami' probably deserved a longer run, however.

ROUND 2

BAD BLOOD (88%)
v
2SHY (12%)
81 votes

Even stronger second round win against Season 3's creepy, early-internet stranger danger story. No contest on the whole.

ROUND 3

BAD BLOOD gets a BYE due to a high-percentage win and balancing the numbers.

ROUND 4

BAD BLOOD (64%)
v
HOME (36%)
138 votes

One of the tournament's highest-voted matches and in other circumstances this could well have been the final. Still a decent win but 'Home' really should have lasted longer.

ROUND 5

BAD BLOOD (69%)
v
THE UNNATURAL (31%)
122 votes

Slightly bigger win but 'The Unnatural' still gives it a run, being a highly popular Season 6 romantic comedy.

QUARTER FINAL

BAD BLOOD (65%)
v
REDUX II (35%)
113 votes

Did 'Redux II' deserve to get quite this far? Open to debate but nevertheless this Season 5 battle wasn't too much of a 'Bad Blood' rout.

SEMI FINAL

BAD BLOOD (54%)
v
PILOT (46%)
141 votes

The highest scoring match yet and a close one. Many of us at The X-Cast have been stunned by how beloved the 'Pilot' is and how far it got, so the best episode probably won here.

FINAL

BAD BLOOD
v
FIGHT THE FUTURE

Who wins? You decide tomorrow. Let us know who should be crowned the greatest X-File of them all!
