31 Years of the X Files: Pilot Episode [ENG/ESP]
(Edited)
English Version
Hello to everyone in the Movies & TV Shows community! Today I'm joining us here to celebrate a television event that greatly changed what we know as the science fiction genre. It was on September 10th 1993 that the pilot episode of the X Files premiered. Perhaps not many imagined it, but that pilot episode would mean the beginning of an unstoppable success that would give birth to some 12 seasons, 3 films, a spin-off (The Lone Gunmen), several books, a phenomenon known as "The Scully Effect" and of course, a legacy that has been difficult to forget. Serving as a source of admiration and influence for several modern series of the same genre.
Althrought I'm not from the era and didn't live through that time when each episode came out once a week (the excitement of waiting, knowing future events, etc.) and so on, the X Files is, for anyone who watches it, timeless. It can be enjoyed as much now in the present as it was in the past. That's why it became a classic, because its passage through time was not affected (at least, not as much as other series) and even though the world has changed, the X Files is still relevant because of something very important (and that helped it to position itself in the past): the charm of unsolved mysteries. I think its themes of paranormal situations, global conspiracies, UFO and alien phenomena and so on, continue to be of great interest to the public.
In addition, the professional treatment given to the series, thanks to Chris Carter's direction, provided a lot of sustainability and credibility, as several of the episodes were written with the help of science experts. Good script, good actors, good photography, good soundtrack. The main characters, with their duality of scepticism (Dana Scully) and belief (Fox Mulder), provided space for a number of interesting debates about life and its unsolved cases. It is for all these reasons that the X Files will remain one of the best science fiction series ever. Today I will celebrate for that, by re-watching the first season of the X Files. So without further ado, thank you very much for stopping by.

¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de Movies & TV Shows! El día de hoy me uno por aquí para celebrar un suceso de la televisión que cambió en gran medida lo que conocemos como el género de ciencia ficción. Es así como un 10 de septiembre de 1993 se estrenó el capítulo piloto de los X Files. Quizás no muchos lo imaginaron pero ese episodio piloto significaría el comienzo de un éxito imparable que daría lugar al nacimiento de unas 12 temporadas, 3 películas, un spin-off (Los Pistoleros Solitarios), varios libros, un fenómeno conocido cómo "El Efecto Scully" y por supuesto, un legado que ha sido difícil de olvidar. Sirviendo de admiración e influencia para varias series modernas del mismo género.
Aunque no soy de la época y no viví ese momento en el que cada capítulo salía una vez por semana (la emoción de la espera, saber los sucesos futuros, etc.) y otras cosas más, los X Files son para todo aquel que lo ve, atemporal. Se puede disfrutar tanto ahora en el presente así cómo se lo hizo en el pasado. Es por eso que se volvió un clásico, ya que su paso por el tiempo no fue afectado (por lo menos, no tanto cómo otras series) y aunque el mundo ha cambiado, los X Files siguen vigentes por algo muy importante (y que lo ayudó a posicionarse en el pasado): el encanto de los misterios sin resolver. Creo que sus temas sobre situaciones paranormales, conspiraciones mundiales, fenómenos ovnis y extraterrestres y demás, siguen siendo de gran interés para el público.
Además, el trato profesional que se le dió a la serie gracias a la dirección de Chris Carter, brindó mucha sostenibilidad y credibilidad pues varios de los episodios fueron escritos con ayuda de expertos en temas sobre ciencias. Buen guión, buenos actores, buena fotografía, buena banda sonora. Los protagonistas, con su dualidad de escepticismo (Dana Scully) y de creencia (Fox Mulder), fue espacio para un sin de debates bastante interesantes sobre la vida y sus casos sin resolver. Es por todo ello que los X Files seguirán siendo una de las mejores series de ciencia ficción de la historia. Hoy celebraré por eso, viendo nuevamente la primera temporada de los X Files. Así que sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por acá.

Hey! I mean, you perfectly captured what The X Files means to both old fans and newcomers like yourself. Even though you didn't experience it when it was airing live, it’s awesome that you can still appreciate the timelessness of it. It shows how strong the show is in terms of storytelling and the universal appeal of its themes—aliens, conspiracies, the unknown. It’s fascinating stuff that clearly never gets old.
I like how you mentioned the duality between Scully and Mulder honestly, that dynamic is still one of the best parts of the show. It’s cool how their perspectives created those deeper conversations about belief and skepticism, which I feel is why it stayed relevant over the years. Also, the fact that you mentioned how science experts were involved in some of the episodes? That’s a great point! It adds credibility and sets it apart from a lot of other shows in the genre.
Plus, that little detail about The Scully Effect so true! Dana Scully became such an iconic character, and she inspired a whole generation of women to get into STEM fields, which is pretty amazing. Honestly, you captured all the reasons why this show still matters today, and I totally agree with you.
Hope you enjoy re-watching the first season!
Greetings over here 🙂 thanks for taking the time to read the post and leaving such a nice comment. It's true, the X Files exceeded expectations for many of the reasons cited. I think it's nice to know it's a much loved series for such good reasons. Thanks so much for stopping by aau
