'The truth is out there,' and FBI agents Scully and Mulder seek it in this sci-fi phenomenon about their quest to explain the seemingly unexplainable. Their strange cases include UFO sightings, alien abductions and just about anything else paranormal. The tales were spooky and well-written, but the long-running cult favorite's strength was a gallery of intriguing (when they weren't just enigmatic) characters, and the dynamic---and intense bond---between believer Mulder and skeptic Scully.
It works because it's silly and over the top and yet also strangely plausible...it's nice to have something this old still be capable of something so new.
I'm such a sucker for concept episodes, and "Rm9sbG93ZXJz" is one of the niftiest experiments in The X-Files' long history...It's a boldly small-scale reconsideration of Mulder and Scully.
"Rm9sbG93ZXJz" somehow found a new tone for the series after 200-plus episodes. With that, it still maintained a sense of humor in the face of urgency.
A quarter century later, The X-Files is circling back around to one of its earliest fears, one that felt outdated halfway through the show's original run but has since been proven valid, if clichéd.
