This show made my university life bearable! Too bad about the movies, though!

You’re exactly right Mr. Melzer — The X Files was a phenomenon that still maintains a solid fan base. And don’t forget all the ripoffs, which is another testament to the show’s impact.

The X-Files did something to me that no movie or show previous to it had-it made me OBSESSED. I’d never experienced what it was like to push aside chores and homework, to beg to stay up (please Mom!), to know the entire arc of something quite the way I did when X-Files rolled around. One of my greatest joys in life is explaining the syndicate and the black oil and all that fun stuff to people who haven’t seen it

Fantastic show and article. My favorite episode is the one guest starring Jim Rose and the Enigma (from the Jim Rose Circus).

There’s a scene where the Enigma pounds a nail into his head via his nostril, and Scully remarks “You must be one of those rare individuals who’s nerve endings don’t register pain”. It cracks me up because, as a medical doctor, she should have known how the trick works.

Awesome article. I agree that this show, even after all this time has carved a niche in to the psyche of anyone who ever watched it. Allowing for the possibility that the truth might really be more than what we can perceive, and believing if only for a short time, lifts the human spirit to new heights. Are we alone, is there something more, will we ever truly know.

The X-Files is still one of my absolute favorite shows. I’ve always wanted to believe, so a character like Fox Mulder resonated very powerfully with me. Great stuff.
