So, RE: discussion about monsters and mutants and humanity in vescoiya's LJ t'other day, I went back to my old notes for A Time of Dark, Dark Despair (which I may even write more of. In another three years,) and finished filling them out.

The result? A spreadsheet of all human-like Monster of the Week characters ever to appear on the X-Files.

They are listed by full name, episode number (production number/DVD number, I hope), how they qualify as an x-file, how they got that way, what criminal things they did, and their status at the end of the episode. Full of spoilers, obviously.

It's up on my webspace as a .csv (spreadsheet) file and a very ugly HTML table. Download them and have a look. (The .html is sorted by episode number, the .csv file you can open in your spreadsheet program and sort by whatever.) Sources were memory, re-runs, and a variety of XF sites around the 'net, none of which provided a complete resource.

( clarification of spreadsheet categories )

( Some very shallow analysis of the stats: )

You could probably mine more data (especially if you did more than just back-of-the-envelope stats.) Please do! And discuss! And write thinky fanfic! Please? Especially the fanfic. Who wants to help me start an RPG where they all team up and fight aliens? :D

(BTW, not in the spreadsheet, but racial stats, to the best of my assisted memory? Hispanic: 2 episodes. Black: 2. Asian: 1. White: 61. Go you, XF. *sigh* oh, and gender? Female: 10, male: 46, unknown or mixed-gender groups: 11.)
