http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m176/LadyShayde/kim_manners.jpgHe was a fantastic director (and exec producer and production manager) whose work I have been fangirling since the early days of the X-Files. Some of his awesome episodes include:
X-Files - Humbug, Oubliette, Syzygy, Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' and The End.
Supernatural - Scarecrow, Shadows, In My Time of Dying, Heart, Fresh Blood, Lazarus Rising.
I actually hate to list a selection since I love about 90% of what he's done.
I get that he's famous in the oogly boogly sub-genre and not much elsewhere, but I appreciate his work and am sorry that his time is up.

Sad to hear this. The Jose Chung episodes remain the best episodes of the X-Files, or any series for that matter. Brilliant fanboy fun. Humbug was probably one of the creepiest things I've ever seen on cable.

Millennium had two Jose Chung episodes as well.

I forgot about those! Didn't one of them start out with some demons sitting around in donut shop? That was teh awesome.

Yes, those are the ones. The one your talking about actually isn't a Jose Chung episode, fett, but it is written by Darin Morgan. I suppose that means that Millennium only has one Jose Chung episode, my bad.
