    The X-Files is an excellent science fiction show premised on asking the question, "What if there were actually some good FBI agents?"

            TrueAnon rule for life: If an FBI agent says they're not going to hurt you, you'll be dead within a day.

              I'm rewatching the show right now and just got the first Lone Gunmen appearance the other day. I came to the conclusion:

              Bryers = Yung Chomsky

              Langley = Liz

              Frohike = Brace

      In fairness to Chris Carter, he drew on a lot of real-world evil schemes. For example he explicitly called out Operation Paperclip and Unit 731 in the show.

        The Lone Gunmen mentioned the School of America training assassins in one of the Xcode’s episodes, although they don’t explicitly say anything about Latin America.

        Technically, Twin Peaks came out a few years before The X-Files.
