Tomorrow sees the big final of #TheXFilesEpisodeTournament (find the hashtag on Twitter), which sees the first movie, FIGHT THE FUTURE, face Season 5's comedy BAD BLOOD
Before it begins, we thought we'd break down the journey each finalist took to get here, voted by you.
ROUND 1
FIGHT THE FUTURE (82%)
v
THE RED AND THE BLACK (18%)
44 votes
A strong first round win out the gate between two big mythology episodes, ironically 'The Red and the Black' being a major lead-in to Fight the Future itself.
ROUND 2
FIGHT THE FUTURE (92%)
v
END GAME (8%)
75 votes
Possibly the biggest win of the tournament, which is a huge shame for Season 2's excellent 'End Game', which deserved a longer run.
ROUND 3
FIGHT THE FUTURE gets a BYE due to a high-percentage win and balancing the numbers.
ROUND 4
FIGHT THE FUTURE (73%)
v
PAPER CLIP (27%)
105 votes
Again, another great mythology episode taken out powerfully by the magic of the movie. 'Paper Clip' should have gone further.
ROUND 5
FIGHT THE FUTURE (74%)
v
HOW THE GHOSTS STOLE CHRISTMAS (26%)
103 votes
Surprising how heavily Fight the Future defeated this massive Season 6 fan comedy favourite, but just shows the power of the movie.
QUARTER FINAL
FIGHT THE FUTURE (62%)
v
ONE BREATH (38%)
122 votes
Is 'One Breath' better than the movie? Personally, I'd say yes, but it certainly gave the movie it's biggest challenge up to this point.
SEMI FINAL
FIGHT THE FUTURE (60%)
v
CLYDE BRUCKMAN'S FINAL REPOSE (46%)
135 votes
An early favourite to win the tournament, it's no surprise Clyde Bruckman gave FTF the biggest challenge. Sad to see this great episode go though & not reach the final.
FINAL
FIGHT THE FUTURE
v
BAD BLOOD
Who wins? You decide tomorrow. Let us know who should be crowned the greatest X-File of them all!

THE X-CAST #68 - One Breath
THE X-CAST continues with host Tony Black looking back at THE X-FILES Season 2 episode 8 - 'One Breath', written by Glen Morgan & James Wong, and directed by RW. Goodwin.
Scully reappears in hospital, out of nowhere, in a coma and at death's door. As her family, including spiritually-minded elder sister Melissa, prepare themselves for Dana's natural passing, Mulder in his desperate bid to find the conspiratorial government forces responsible begins a blood-soaked campaign of vengeance. Meanwhile, on the bridge between two worlds, Scully is tethered to mystical forces as she chooses whether to remain or pass on...
Joined again by The Irish M0vie Blog writer, Darren Mooney, Tony examines one of the greatest and most powerful episodes in the X-Files. Plus Darren has another shot at the X-Quiz - can he get a perfect ten (or six)?
