The X-Files at 30...

My deep affection for “The X-Files,” Chris Carter’s paranormal/sci-fi series that first began airing 30 years ago this week, is rooted in two distinct and formative places in my mind. The first is a love for the richly spine-chilling stories that Carter and his writers (including the wonderfully eccentric Darin Morgan, “Final Destination” creators James Wong and Glen Morgan, and Vince Gilligan, who later created “Breaking Bad” and "Better Call Saul") offered a seemingly limitless supply of, back when seasons ran for 23 or 24 episodes rather than the paltry 12 to 13 they do now. This love came from exposure at a young age, through my Dad’s work with the psychological fringes of society, to aspects of human nature that were dark and unusual. The show had a broad “government hiding the existence of aliens” storyline thread throughout its run, but for me the best tales were the “monster of the week,” which stood alone as smart, often wickedly funny storytelling AND go for broke yarns that sent your blood into icy creeps. These appealed to my sense of an uncanny borderland that was often kept in the shadows, ostensibly for the sake of not destabilizing normalcy and prosperity but really just to avoid dealing with the bad karma built up over a century of neglecting the truth about darker forces in the world.

The other reason is that, for a number of years, I wasn’t entirely close with my older sisters, due to both the difference in age and because I was the only boy (and a weirdo outlier, interest-wise, at that). At the time "The X-Files" appeared, my sister Heather had just had her first child, and I began to spend more time with her as she settled into motherhood. I would go to her house on Friday nights, and we’d watch the new episode after her baby, Max, had gone to sleep. To this day, I don’t know exactly why our minds met in this particular way, but it means as much to me now as it did then. We became genuine friends in the way you do with siblings as you get older, understanding each other on a deeper level and recognizing the virtues in one another that a typically combative brother/sister dynamic drowns out for so long. She saw that I was a (reasonably) smart, capable, creative adult, and I recognized that she was a warm, intelligent, funny, and nurturing person. We greatly enjoyed that time together, and have kept a strong bond since, even living far away from one another. In that sense, Carter’s odd, creepy show was a real gift, bringing us together within its labyrinth of ideas with graceful suspense and great humanity.
