The X-Files Pros And Cons
The show isn't just about aliens, it’s a complex show about the conspiracies and mass deceptions of trusted governments and the unbreakable bond between two young FBI special agents on their quest for the truth buried by their own government. The X-Files centers on Fox Mulder, a young and brilliant FBI agent condemned to the basement of the J. Edgar Hoover building and his counterpart, Dana Scully, a skeptic scientist sent to spy on Mulder and debunk his work in the so called X-Files. Mulder, or more commonly known by his fellow agents as “Spooky Mulder” spends his days documenting and investigating conspiracies and abnormal cases that were discarded for being unsolvable by his fellow colleagues. As Mulder and Scully traveled the country to

    I am writing to you in regard to the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, and the lack of evidence to support these conspiracies. The conspiracy theories are centered on the belief that there is extraterrestrial life within Area 51. People, who live around the area or were traveling have claim they saw unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the airspace above Area 51, especially during the 1950s and 1960s.

    Every question that is asked is expected to have an answer, and soon. As human beings, anticipating a response is unbearable. Area 51 has and continues to spark a multiplicity of fascinating inquiry, many left for the questionee to decide on his or her own. The idea of associating Area 51 with extraterrestrials is a fault in the government’s security. The allowance for the media to distribute false evidence is a hoax. Deferring people from actual activities going on at Area 51 will only raise curiosity.…

    The "Space Traders" story shares many of the same philosophies and characteristics that Hitler expressed during his reign over Germany in the 1930's and 40's. In a sense, the aliens represent him in this story. As Hitler promised the "removal" of Jews, as well as other groups of people, would solve the nations economic tribulations, the aliens promised the same to America. In return they desired the entire African American population, for reasons unknown. The white population obsessed so greatly on this promise of prosperity that they became blinded by greed. The lives of an entire group of people were put second to their own selfish desires. In a very similar fashion, the Holocaust was born. Hitler promised economic opulence to the dominant…

    It’s safe to assume that when people think of reality TV they don’t think of scripts and writers to be a part of the show, as it is all happening in real time and all of the 30 action packed minutes is unedited bits. But that is far from the truth as David Rupel states that, “if you watch every second of someone’s life, the majority of it is quite boring.” Just imagine watching Keeping up with the Kardashian and watching every single minute of their lives, sooner or later it’s bound to get boring. So how do you add that hint of spice, drama and intrigue? That is the role of writers and editors that play a crucial part of formatting and editing bits and clips of interesting pieces from hours of footage that will incorporate and play into the bigger…

    The X-Files is generally acclaimed as the television cult hit of the 1990's. The pilot that aired in September of 1993 introduced FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Together the two work to uncover the truth behind unsolved cases that defy normal investigation, the cases that the government has buried or ignored, labeling them the "x-files." The two agents are wonderful examples of modernism and post-modernism world views.…

    “Just one more episode,” a semiconscious voice screams in your head as your eyes reach a point of barely being able to stay awake. Determined, you select “play next episode” and spend the next four hours curious if Dan really murdered Keith. In simplest terms Netflix defines binge-watching as the following: streaming between two and six episodes of the same TV show in a single sitting. Based on this definition more than 60% of Netflix users participate in binge-watching on a regular occurrence.

    They were considered “aliens” because they were different. They looked different, spoke different, and acted different than most of the other americans therefore they saw them as a threat. The Alien Act and the Alien Enemies Act allowed the president to deport any immigrant that was not a legal citizen if they were thought to be committing any crimes. The Enemies Act was geared more toward the arrest of non citizens committing crimes, but they were also deported as well. The sedition on the other hand stated that any person who spoke bad about the government was to be punished or arrested. Typically the punishment was a fairly wealthy fine for speaking or publishing anything bad mannered toward the government or the officers. Immigrants suspected of being aliens or conducting any bad crimes and any person speaking bad about the government or its officers were the main provisions of the Alien and Sedition…

    UFO sightings in the 50’s and 60’s were quickly shut down by the government, but many chose to continue believing. People starting talking about little green men who were abducting people. Seeing black spots in the sky turned into “UFO sightings”. Most of the paranoia surrounding the mysteriousness of Area 51 comes from the fact that there are many “other-worldly” lights emanating from the skies above Area 51. People claim the lights are from alien spacecraft and the activities of extraterrestrials. Another conspiracy theory says that Area 51 is the base where live and dead aliens that have crashed down to Earth are examined.
