Entry: The Truth About "The X-Files" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_truth_about_the_x_files#33160 Post contents: One of the things I liked most about X-Files and the outstanding Millennium (seasons 1 and 2), and lets not forget about the equally good but even more ignored Harsh Realm, is that they did not make me think about politics. These shows were "objective", the story was what mattered, not social engineering, not some affirmative action casting (for the most part), not making alternative lifestyles the norm, not trying to manipulate the audiences emotions, not the offensive insults to men and Caucasians that we have to endure daily on TV, especially from the satanic mouse network. These shows created a space to lose oneself, to admire the art of the creators, to eagerly anticipate the next episode. Not to mention the astonishing influence this show had. As soon as it was cancelled, the whole paranormal/ alien mania was over. Sure, it showed the corruption of government as a whole and at the same time gave us hope that good individuals within it would have the courage to do what is right- something we don't see nearly enough these days. It was also reverential toward religion which was very apparent. Thanks for pointing these political aspects out. Just another reason to like Chris Carter's work. Sent at: 2008 12 02
