The X-Files
Reviews by Jess Lynde and Josie Kafka The latest: The Erlenmeyer Flask (season one is done!) The X-Files is the story of Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, two FBI agents investigating the paranormal. The show features stand-alone "freak of the week" episodes, as well as a complex overarching mythology about alien visitation and experimentation and a massive government conspiracy to cover up The Truth. The show was that rarest of breeds: a minor sci-fi cult hit that became a major network success. Starting out in the Friday "death slot" on FOX in 1993, The X-Files flew under the radar for its first season, then suddenly exploded in the ratings in its second season. Its combination of creepy, scary stories and anti-government paranoia -- not to mention the great partnership between the leads -- captured the imaginations of millions of loyal X-Philes, and eventually earned the show a marquee time slot on Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m., where it stayed until its conclusion in 2002. With over 200 episodes, retro reviews for The X-Files are simply too much for one reviewer to take on. So Jess Lynde and Josie Kafka are teaming up to tackle reviews for the series. For the most part, Jess will cover the early seasons and Josie will cover the later seasons. New reviews will be posted when completed and will first appear on Billie’s blog.
