What I learned from watching the X-Files

I have been on a mission to fill my brain with tons of useless information, so I've been watching whole TV series on Netflix while I'm at home working or in my down time. I recently finished watching every episode of X-Files.

There are several things I learned from watching the X-Files:

1. There were A LOT of episodes I never saw before. Remember before DVR's when you actually had to be home to see a show? It was like watching lost episodes...I loved it.

2. Scully got kidnapped...a lot. If I had to see this woman bound and gagged one more time, I'd really start to think the writers were into some kinky stuff.

3. The military is run by alien replicants, or Super Soldiers. I think just this topic takes a whole other blog post about how this happens and why.

4. The Lone Gunmen are heroes. I never saw the episode when they died before and I cried like a baby.

5. Scully and Mulder finally did the horizontal mambo, had a love child, but had to give him up for adoption to keep him safe from the aliens that want to kill him since he's part alien and has powers. He's powers were taken away when Mulder's half brother injected the baby with a mineral to stop his powers. This is another topic that could take a whole post.

6. Mulder is sort of part alien too...and he sees dead people.
