FAQ
How long do polls run for?
Usually one week
What's your policy on spoilers?
I welcome all discussion of the show in the reblogs/comments, but out of courtesy for first time viewers I'll try to avoid unnecessary spoilers in my own posts. Mild spoilers may be present in episode/image descriptions and propaganda, but I'll label or avoid any major ones.
Why is an actor's name missing from a post?
If an actor's name is omitted in a post where others are named then—unless I've made a legitimate error—they have be censured. See this post for more information
How are you tagging things?
All original polls are tagged with #polls
All polls from or based on other blogs are tagged #other polls
Any poll that featuring an episode is tagged with that episodes name & season placement (formatted #S... E...).
Any poll that featuring a season as a whole are tagged as #season ...
Any poll featuring a character is tagged with that character name.
Any poll featuring an actor outside of the show's context is tagged with that actor's name and #actors
Once I have more polls up, I'll probably make a tag masterpost/directory

What song did you personally like the best out of this round? Did a song make an impact right away or did it require the full version? Did the artist reveal change your opinion for better or for worse? Tell me in a reblog! :D
(note: this is not a popularity contest or to vote for a favourite artist out of loyalty 💖 it's still about the song.)
Give the songs a re-listen to refresh your memory!

Clyde Bruckman (played by Peter Boyle in "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose")
Luther Lee Boggs (played by Brad Dourif in "Beyond the Sea")
Voting ended onJul 13
Clyde Bruckman: Hilarious. Tragic. Makes fun of Mulder, won an Emmy for it. "Final Repose" is one of TXF's most acclaimed episodes for good reason. If Clyde wasn't Clyde, this episode wouldn't be nearly as well received.
Clyde Bruckman: You don't get it, do you, kid? Two years from now, while driving down Route 91, coming home to your wife and baby daughter, you're going to be hit head-on by a drunk, driving a blue '87 Mustang. You'll end up looking worse than 60 feet of bad road your body slides across after flying out your front windshield. Young Husband: Mister, you really need to work on your closing technique.
Luther Lee Boggs: Brad Dourif killing it as usual. Memorable for a reason.
