SALON'S TV PICKS FOR
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3, 1999
BY JOYCE MILLMAN

S E R I E S

The X-Files Complete Conspiracy Marathon (8 and 11 p.m., FX) chugs along with Episode 80, "Tunguska" (8 p.m.), which puts Mulder and Scully closer to the source of the black oil, although they don't know it yet. Mulder takes off for Siberia, the site of a 1908 meteorite catastrophe, in pursuit of the mysterious prehistoric worms that may inhabit the buried rock. In Part Two, "Terma" (11 p.m.), Mulder ends up in a Russian gulag, where he becomes very intimate with the aforementioned "black cancer"-carrying worms. Meanwhile, Scully is jailed after she refuses to cooperate with a Senate subcommittee investigating Mulder's whereabouts. Significant point: Krycek takes a licking, but keeps on ticking. On Dawson's Creek (8 p.m., WB), Joey can't stand the actress who's playing her in Dawson's film. Financial self-help guru Tony Robbins and his gleaming teeth are profiled on Biography (8 p.m. EST/9 PST, A&E). Julia is in denial over Ned's abuse and Sarah tries to bond with her attacker on Party of Five (9 p.m., Fox). Grad gets a scare while delivering the baby of an HIV-positive friend on Chicago Hope (10 p.m., CBS).

S P E C I A L S

The final two installments of I'll Make Me a World (check local times, PBS) survey black artists and performers of the 1960s to the 1990s. Among those profiled are Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, Romare Bearden, Spike Lee and Bill T. Jones. The TV movie Exiled (9 p.m., NBC), starring Chris Noth in his old "Law & Order" role of Detective Mike Logan, gets a rerun airing in the "L&O" slot.
