I want to know what happens during the alien story arc, but I have little desire to watch those episodes. The motw episodes are so much better.

The MOTW episodes stand up much better.

At the time, we didn't know that the alien storyline was going to branch out into infinite red herrings and become impossible to resolve with any sense of satisfaction.

Also, at that time, the whole alien, government conspiracy theme was fresh and exciting for a TV show to delve into. Since that time, thanks to the internet and cable channels that basically focus all of their time on it, the subject of aliens and government conspiracies has been neaten to death.
