In 1998, Stephen King wrote one episode of the fifth season of the X-Files series. This episode is called "Chinga", in the structure of the series it has an index of 5X10 (i.e., the tenth episode of the fifth season); date of first show: February 8, 1998. It is worth noting that King's co-author in writing the script for this episode was X-Files executive producer Chris Carter. Among fans of The X-Files, the episode "Chinga" takes 4th place in the rating of "The most terrible X-Files episodes" (inferior to the episodes Home, Irresistible , Badlaa). I also note that the participation of Stephen King in writing scripts for episodes of the series was planned for season 7 (this is 1999-2000), but, unfortunately, for some reason King did not join the X-Files writing group.
