X-Files should totally be fived. It was the next step Phil Farrand took with the Nitpicker's Guides, after all, and he was able to riff on even the most hard-core episodes. And isn't it easier to five the shows/episodes that take themselves very/too seriously? (Just think Sisko. )

We already have a couple good XF fives including, if memory serves, Jose Chung (which has one of the better blurbs, too).
