They’re both two very different shows, too different for me to feel that comfortable comparing them.

I love them both.

If I *had* to choose one, I’d go with Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks season 3 was some of the best television of the past decade, and its first season was so iconic and wonderful. Meanwhile, X-Files after Duchovny left was significantly weaker, and much worse once Scully was made a recurring. I liked the newest seasons for the one off episodes, but the mythology episodes stank.. especially hated what CC ended up doing with William and Scully in the finale. And I say that as someone who generally enjoyed the mythology arc, as convoluted as it became, through the earlier series.
