Introduction

I guess I should do a little intro here as well as to what this is all about and why I'm doing it. I am a long time fan of the show The X-Files and have watched it many times. Each time I watch the show through, I like to take notes on different topics. This time through I've decided to make notes about the scientific theories presented and do my own research on them to find out as much as I can about it. I plan of doing at least an episode a week.

One of the things that I like so much about the X-Files is that it is so real and believable even though it is presenting information that is obviously not true. I think a lot of that is due to the presentation of the scientific evidence. There is so much lazy science fiction out there that just expect you to believe whatever crap they make up without explaining it. The X-Files for the most part avoids this. Some episodes were not as good at this but for the most part I think they did a great job and my main goal here is to learn. I'm not a doctor or chemist or anything like that myself although I do know a lot about computers so for the most part I'm going to be looking at Google and Wikipedia for some of the info I present. As such I invite anyone who reads this and knows better or has input on it to please comment or contact me and I will update as needed. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

EDIT: After some feedback, I've decided it might be fun to also do these by request.  If anyone has a request for a specific episode just send me a message and I'll focus on those.  Otherwise I'll probably keep going in order.
