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!
