X Files | Interviews | Frank Spotnitz
There is more than you understand

Can you explain the phenomenal success of The X Files?

I believe good stories will last beyond the time they were written and produced.

I think the enduring success of The X Files is the central theme of the show which is 'the truth is out there'.

What does that mean? That�s an endless question. That�s incredibly deep, the philosophical idea. 'The truth is out there'. It really speaks to me, both in the alien and the monster shows.

In every type of episode we try to capture the sense of mystery in the universe and the world that everybody senses. Whether they believe in ghosts, and aliens, or God or not.

There�s a mystery that all of us are aware of, and the show says �yes there is more than you understand�. And it treats people. It captures their imagination because of that.
