No series has a dense and long-running mythology quite like "The X-Files." While many shows have made their mythologies infinitely more complicated, the truth out there is "The X-Files'" follows very simple themes. All the abductions, colonization, alien viruses, and super-soldiers are byproducts of the core of the story — the relationship between Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). These two FBI agents take on bizarre and uncategorizable cases. Eventually, they uncover something much more sinister ... something that threatens all of human existence.
For those of you interested in what this alien conspiracy is all about and who do not find Mulder's explanation from the original series finale satisfactory, this article is for you. Not only will we cover the series' entire mythology — or "mytharc" in "X-Files" fan vernacular terms — including the original series, movies, and revival series, but hopefully we'll connect all the dots in an orderly fashion and slightly enhance your appreciation for "The X-Files" as a whole.
Grab your flashlight and tape a big "X" across your window because we're diving deep into "The X-Files" timeline.
