The X Files has always been kind of a schizophrenic show because there are episodes that deal with the question of extra terrestrial life. Then the great majority of episodes are not about aliens at all.

They�re about all manner of paranormal phenomena from traditional monsters like werewolves and vampires, Frankenstein's creatures to monsters that you know are unique to the show. Beings like someone who can harness lightning, somebody who can�t die. All kinds of paranormal creatures and situations.

Beyond that one of the interesting things about The X Files is it defies conventional wisdom about what a drama is supposed to be. The wisdom in the television industry in America is �give them the same thing every week, only different�.

The X Files said 'forget that. We�re gonna give you a different type of show, a different situation every week. As different as we can make it'.
