Go Super to Listen Go Super!

The X-Files was a very popular sci-fi TV show between 1993 and 2002. It was about FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Agent Mulder studied conspiracy theories, but Agent Scully didn’t believe in these stories about aliens.

This year, Fox Television made six new X-Files episodes. This miniseries made many fans very happy. In fact, a lot of fans couldn’t be happier.

I didn’t watch it yet, despite the fact it’s been out for a while. You know the Internet abounds with so many TV shows that literally you feel like a kid a candy shop wondering which one to watch first. Anyways, this sci-fi with conspiracy theories, aliens and the love couple reminded me about the book ’ Deception point’ by controvercial author Dan Brown. What I like about it that the fiction is filled with scientific, historic data from which you could learn. No wonder, Dan Brown used to be a teacher. And every time I type the Deception point on the Internet, I come across the intriguing couple of Mulder and Scully. Interesting. :)

I´m not a fun of miniseries, so i´m completely out of the loop to give an opinion on something that i´m clueless. I do believe that some conspiracy theories have solid ground for believing that they are not the product of paranoid minds . We have much evidence that we are being visited by aliens, still goverments, for some reason that only they know are keeping us on the dark, saying that it is not necessary further investigations  on this matter.


Andy is inviting over to Kelsey to watch in his place the entire miniseries. This invitation rings to me that the X-Files might turn into Romantic- Files, starring Andy and Kelsey.:)))

I wasn’t a faithful follower of the X-Files. Watched a few episodes here and there. I admit Scully and Mulder are a very attractive couple, on and off TV ;-). Whenever I watched them, I enjoyed mostly the teasing that was going on. And Mulder hitting on Scully before they became a couple. Priceless! So I guess for some fans it became the most thrilling conspiracy to know whether they are dating in real life or not! You certainly can see some sparks flying on Twitter
