I'm sure all of you know what the X-files is, but I'm also sure
you could find here something you didn't know before. Well, lets start.
X-files fans call themselves X-philes.
In its first season The X-files established itself as a cult
hit. In the second season its rating grew
faster than any other series on TV, and in the third season it was the number
3 ranked drama on TV. But it's not all. During the 4th season it moved to second
place and in fifth and sixth seasons we have similar situation. In 7th season
number of fans grow related to season 6. Now season 7th almost over, and we're
hardly waiting to 8th. Huge number of X-philes I know told me they think 7th
season was best season ever.
I'm still watching it, but I liked what I saw.
The X-files won couple Golden Globe Awards, and had huge number of nominations
for Emmy Awards.
It's about two FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny)
and Dana Scully
(Gillian Anderson).
They usually investigate little bit uncommon cases, which are involving paranormal
or unexplained phenomena.
Mulder believes the truth is out there, but agent Scully, a medical doctor,
is sure there has to be an rational explanation (ok, not so hard anymore).
In 8th season, as you (probably) know, Robert Patric join X-files.
He'll be new Scully's partner. He'll be playing the character of Agent John
Doggett who joins Scully to help her
to find Mulder (David Duchovny will staring in11 of 22 episodes of season 8).
In the beginning Scully was initially assigned to work with Mulder
to debunk his outlandish theories, but after some time working in the X-files,
she'll see it's not so easy find a real truth.
At first, they were unlikely pair - Mulder, believer, deeply assured in his
theories, trying to find his sister, who was abducted by aliens, what he thought,
and Scully, who trained to draw conclusions based on facts, but after each case
their relationship grows and becomes more complex.
Both of them are little bit jealous when another one has a date (even it's not
too often) or something like that, but we saw a kiss only few times. Now, Scully
is pregnant, and yeah, it's almost 100% sure that it's Mulder's baby.
There are also AD Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), who gives Mulder and Scully more independence than he can and who walks a line between loyalty to Mulder and Scully's work and accountability to the larger forces in the government who seek to control it, The Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis), who is one from the Elder and who plays unpredictable, and The Lone Gunmen - Byers (B.Harwood), Langly (D.Haglund) and Frohike (T.Braidwood), Krycek (Nick Lea), and ...
At the beginning of every new episodes we can see a phrase. Usually it's 'The truth is out there', but there were those too:
