The X-Files is a great show - one of my favs. I think every generation has its shows that "imprint" itself on that particular generation, but with the
X-Files it became far and away more popular than anything before it and arguably after it due to the volume of the show. There's something for
everyone in it.
11 seasons/218 episodes devoted to aliens, gov cover ups, military experiments, paranormal, faith vs skepticism, people with "comic book" type powers
and strange abilities, downright disgusting entities that love in peoples bodies, good ol' fashioned monsters and creatures that live in put of the
way places, inbredding, deformities, people who can feel/sense things, etc. too many intertwining serial and episodal storylines to list. There's
nothing that really comes close with variety of different sci-fi and mixed content imho. At least that I've seen.
Fringe is great and also a fav of mine. Rock solid storyline
but not the variety of The X-Files as Fringe only deals with 1 overarching story - which is arguably stronger than the 1 in The X-Files - but there's
not a lot of variety beyond that.
I'm just glad we have The X-Files. Im a fan for sure.
EDIT: When I first seen the Lone Gunmen episode where they talked about planes flying into the World Trade centers and the blame put on terrorists
about increasing military weapon production - it was really, really interesting. It aired just a few months before 9/11 happened.
