I see that this show, or at least as far as the episodes dealing with its "mythology" were concerned, was always idiotic.
The "monster of the week" episodes could sometimes be interesting, but the perfervid "mythology" arc was execrable.
And having Mulder assault a suspect really gives a great picture of the FBI; but they didn't need some overheated fantasy to show that, they could have taken case examples of actual FBI dealings with the Civil Rights movement, or with AIM. None of those involved aliens, either extraterrestrial or terrestrial, but native born citisens of the USA.
And now, I'm switching over to the 1970 version of "Ned Kelly", and whatever historical fallacies it might contain, it's still a world truer, and far less pretentious, that the Excrement-File crap.
I watch the X-Files and I see how the USA has become such a cesspool.
