I have been re-watching this for the 5th time, haven't done so in years. Was it predictive programming? Were they privy to some actual secrets that were incorporated into the show? Or was it just brainless entertainment with no subtext and I am just a schizo?
Also, older Scully > younger Scully

the Lone Gunmen pilot episode was really spoopy stuff, the show creator reportedly though they had inspired the attack, meanwhile, politicians are saying NO ONE could've seen this coming

Damn, that's straight up weird. inb4 that's why they were cancelled.
Some say that this is predictive programming. Just like the way that the film Back to the Future had inspired many engineers to try and invent a hoverboard. As far as military involvement is concerned, take a look at Top Gun, or American Sniper. Both of those were made to drum up sympathy for the military industrial complex.
An airing of the 1998 film on FOX on September 14, 2001 was cancelled after the 9/11 attacks. It was replaced with a repeat airing of Nine Months.
Years ago, Dean Haglund (who played Langly of TLG) said in some interview that the writers were floated ideas from the three letter agencies. That interview has probably been wiped from existence.
>Some say that this is predictive programming.
More like "simpsons effect". 11 seasons 218 episodes. Sooner or later some concepts of show start marerialize IRL by laws of probability. Somebody even will say it was foretald on the show.
I doubt he had clarified whether it was for the monster of the week episodes or the myth arc?
Checked
Aliens are actually transported on secret trains
The X-Files was a surprisingly well written, way ahead of its time and comfy as fuck series. It saddens me when I realize we'll never ever get something of this caliber again because the current generation of creators are nothing but a bunch of brainlets. They have already ruined everything from Stranger Things to Star Trek.

maybe Elon Musk gets into movies and funds creators who do not water down their content
This show aired before there was a thing called tivo. And back then unless you had a blank vcr tape and wanted to waste it on this you were stuck watching this or some of the million other things that were on at the same time. Hence, i never got past season 1.
It did have a young me thinking that the US government really did have all sorts of black projects and sick, out of this world technology. I remember watching it after The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, while eating take out from Kenny Rogers Roasters, in a country that was overwhelmingly white.
The episodes with the thing that comes out of the toilet and those fireflies that suck you dry really scared me as a kid.
Post it
Fine
it was honestly quite a boring show
The fireflies one is one of my favourites, it's Darkness Falls from S1. The toilet thing is the mutated thing from the sewers I guess? That was in S2 and was disgusting more than anything.
What really scared me as a kid was Tooms, the liver eating stretchy fella. Motherfucker still gives me the creeps.
Lucky bastard
Lmao no, it's a 10/10 objectively
You are missing out
>X-Files: FBI good and benevolent
The End
