The X-Files

The X-Files is one of my favorite shows of all time. It is pretty much the combination of just about everything I love. It combines monsters, paranormal, and extraterrestial things all rolled up into one big ball. Also there is a great partner/odd couple thing going on. The two main characters are Agent Mulder and Agent Scully. There are just about the complete opposite of each other. The first and most obvious thing would be that Agent Mulder is a man and Agent Scully is a woman. Also Agent Mulder is significantly taller then Agent Scully. Agent Mulder believes in every unexplainable phenomenon without really questioning it. While Agent Scully is a scientist and doctor so her first instinct is to find an explanation for what ever happened because there is always a logical explanation. The two were made partners for the precise purpose of Agent Scully investigating and determining a reasonable scientific explanation for each X-file that Agent Mulder investigates. This was very prominent in the first few seasons because they were new partners and just getting to know each other. As the seasons went on this became less of a factor of the show. The show then became more of a partner mystery type of show. The other thing I like about the show the way the seasons were structured. The episodes were very new watcher friendly. Each season was about twenty four episodes long. The first couple of episodes and the last couple of episodes were the episodes the strung together the overall mythology of the show. The around twenty episodes in the middle of the season were usually all stand alone episodes. This means that they two would be assigned a case. They would take the case and spend the episode trying to solve it. Usually by the end of the episode they would have some sort of conclusion. The most common type of ending would be one were it is possible that the phenomenon they are investigating was caused by explainable actions but it would leave it open ended enough were it is equally possible that the phenomenon was natural or unnatural. This is one big part that I enjoy. I am the type of person who pretty much believes in anything because unless it is 100% scientifically proved to not exist there is the possibility that it is real. That's why I like the show because they have no problem saying that the unimaginable might be the cause of unexplainable phenomenon. Another thing that the show has going for it is that it has very good humor between Agent Mulder and Agent Scully. While it can be serious they find ways to realistically add humor to the situation that the agents are in. I still have not finished watching the entire series but I have watched most of it, around seven out of nine seasons. I hope to finish off the show this summer so then I can truly say I love the show and how amazing the show is because I would have seen all the episodes of the show. Well that is pretty much all I have to say about the show. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the unexplainable mystery type of thing. That is it for this blog. I don't really have mush else to say about the show besides how much I like it.
