CineTV Contest: My Favorite sci-fi TV show

Hello dear cinephiles, today I am going to talk about my favorite sci-fi TV show. It's not a very original choice, but it is one of the most enjoyable shows.

The series is called The X-Files and was created by Chris Carter in 1993. He wrote all the episodes except for season 6, which he directed. It tells the story of FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), who investigate unexplained phenomena, called "X-Files". They work with Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi).

Mulder is an agent who believes in extraterrestrial life and the existence of aliens among us. On the other hand, Scully has always been skeptical and thinks there is no evidence to support this hypothesis. She has also suffered from depression throughout her career, which makes her less open to new experiences than Mulder.

The first episode aired on September 10th, 1993. In its first year, it had high ratings, but after that they started to fall and people stopped watching it. Then it came back in 2008 with a movie called X-Files: Fight the Future.

I have watched every episode of The X-Files, even the ones I didn't like. There are some episodes that I think are really good, but others aren't as interesting or exciting. But overall, I think it's a great show. I recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi movies and TV shows.

What I loved or hated about The X-Files

Well, let me start by saying that I don't hate anything in The X-Files. Everything is perfect. The actors, the story, the cinematography, the music, everything. It's a well-made show, with lots of suspense and mystery. And that's what I lovemost about it. The story is divided into several seasons, each of them with a different theme. Sometimes the episodes are connected with each other, sometimes they're not. For example, in season 4 we can find two episodes that are completely unrelated to each other. One is about a man who sees himself in a mirror and doesn't know if it's real or not, while the other one is about a guy who gets abducted by aliens. But it's not just about stories that have nothing to do with each other. Some of the episodes are related to each other and tell a complete story. For example, in season 5 we can find four episodes, and in each one Mulder and Scully investigate a case together.

Another thing I liked was the fact that there were only two main characters. In many TV shows, there are too many characters, and you never get to know any of them properly. But in The X-Files, you learn more about Mulder and Scully, and they both play important roles. I also like the way they tell their stories. They use a lot of flashbacks and flashforwards, which makes things even more interesting.

How it influenced me

I think The X-Files had a big influence on the science fiction genre. Many TV shows and movies are inspired by it, including Lost, Heroes, and The Twilight Zone.

It also made a huge impact on the public opinion about aliens and UFOs. Before The X-Files, people thought that there were no aliens among us, and if they existed, they would be friendly. After The X-Files, everyone believed in aliens and the possibility of an alien invasion.

Nowadays, there are many conspiracy theories about aliens and UFOs, and people are still talking about them. If you search on the internet, you will see hundreds of videos and websites about these topics.

What I find most interesting

This question is very difficult to answer because I loved everything in The X-Files. I especially liked the first season, which was my favorite one. It was full of action and mysteries, and it was the first time I saw Mulder and Scully investigating cases together.

I also loved the last season, where Mulder and Scully finally found the truth about aliens. They discovered the truth about the Cigarette Smoking Man, who was a government agent. He worked for the Syndicate, a secret organization that tried to hide the existence of aliens.

My favorite scene

I'm going to pick one of my favorite scenes, and it's from season 8. It's a flashback from when Mulder was a child. His father was killed by a strange creature, and his mother committed suicide. This is the reason why Mulder became obsessed with finding the truth about aliens. I love this scene because it explains a lot about Mulder's personality. The events from his childhood made him believe in aliens and the existence of the supernatural.

Performance of the actors/actress that left an impression on me

I don't have a specific person in mind, but I have to say that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are amazing. They play their roles perfectly, and they make their characters believable. I have seen all their performances in The X-Files, and they're all incredible.

I have a special place in my heart for Mulder. He is a very brave and smart man, and he always wants to help people. But he also suffers from severe depression, which makes him act differently at times. He has a strong sense of justice, and he always tries to do the right thing. I like how he doesn't care about what other people think about him. He doesn't give up easily, and he never gives up on the things he believes in.

On the other hand, I like Scully a lot too. She is a woman who has suffered a lot throughout her life. Despite all this, she continues to fight for the truth. She is also very intelligent and hardworking. I admire her because she is always determined to find out the truth, no matter what it takes.

The best part of the show

For me, the best part of The X-Files is its mystery and suspense. When I watch an episode, I want to know the truth about everything that happens. I can't stop thinking about it until I've watched the whole season. And when I'm done, I can't wait to see the next one.

Conclusion

Overall, I think The X-Files is a great TV show. It has many twists and turns, and the stories are very interesting. I recommend it to everyone who loves sci-fi and mystery.

That's it for now, folks. I hope you enjoyed reading this post.
