Good point about the potential sources for material. I hadn't thought of it from that angle. I hope the writers don't get too distracted, though, and work events into the X Files world, rather than vice versa. (No shortage of ways to spin things, but if they lack confidence, they might try to update the story line to keep it "relevant".)
As for the propaganda aspect - well, of course, trust no-one :D But since I lived from the UK, and watched the X Files as a teenager, that would probably have passed me by. Older viewers in the US might have had a more sophisticated take on it.
- fit2rule 12y agoI was old enough when X-Files hit the scene to be highly dubious of it as a means of propaganda'izing issues that I thought were being trivialized - secret government programs, psychopharmaceutical experiments, cover-ups, etc. I was also not at all trusting of Fox as a media group, because in the early days of its existence it was pretty clear that it was a propaganda front for the government.
