God, these new episodes are awful. I am a long time fan but now it's all PROPAGANDA anti Trump or anti conservative. For the independent, we see the PROPAGANDA.

I love the x-files 👽. Everyone is right when it's said to be the greatest show to grace the TV screen in the last 3 decades. You don't get shows these days that offer it all and then some. For the geek, the Mulder and Scully, the truth seeker and dramatist in us all, it's bittersweet to say the least. They gave a comeback season a go, too bad the actors weren't feeling it but after almost 20 yrs you can't force it back into the same mold. True however, we still believe. 👾

This show scared the crap out of me as a kid & I loved every moment of it; still do! David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson along with the rest of the cast are a dream team with great acting. X Files has an intriguing storyline and it's THE show that set the stage for so many other paranormal horror shows that attempted to follow in the X-Files footsteps. I think the X Files far surpasses mostly anything I've seen in this genre. I got to meet Gillian Anderson at Comic-Con one year and she's a wonderful lady too
