|
|
| The X-Files, is a one-hour
drama on TEN (Australia) and FOX (USA). The show chronicles the lives of , two disparate
FBI agents who were originally assigned to investigate the bureau's unsolved cases, known
as the "X-Files" many of which suggest paranormal involvement. Mulder, who
maintains that as a young boy he witnessed his sister's abduction by aliens, is the
believer, steadfast in his determination that there exists an entire world which simply
cannot be explained by rational thought, a world rife with alien beings, government
conspirators, and human anomalies. Scully, a medical doctor by training, remains the rock
solid skeptic, equally determined to prove that science can explain even that which
appears to be without explanation. Nothing, not even her own possible alien abduction, has
shaken the foundations of her faith. The two were at first an unlikely pair. Mulder is a former FBI fast-tracker whose preoccupation with things paranormal stalled his meteoric rise through the agency. Scully, on the other hand, as a medical doctor, trained to draw conclusions based on fact. Still, as their professional relationship progresses, even the skeptical doctor has had more than one experience that defies scientific explanation. As the pair works to solve these unexplained cases, Mulder's strong belief in the forces of the unknown continues to challenge Scully's rational mind. Their relationship grows more complex with each case and slowly emerges as a heady mix of professional competitiveness, witty repartee and a personal intimacy due to the intensity of their job and the close proximity in which they work. Among the cases the pair has investigated are a violent, unseen force surrounding a young girl that kills those who threaten her; a series of bizarre deaths thought to be the work of a genetically-mutated serial killer who emerges every 30 years from hibernation to eat five human livers; the mysterious demise of a research team drilling for prehistoric ice core samples at an Arctic research facility; and an unorthodox government research project in which human subjects are injected with alien DNA. |
SCULLY |
She is dedicated to objectivity and common sense, but open to extreme possibilities. Special Agent Dana Scully is not only a medical doctor with a specialty in forensic, but a firm believer in reason who thinks there is a scientific explanation behind every X-file. Against her parent's wishes, Scully went from medical school to Quantico, where she taught for two years at the FBI's training academy. From there she was assigned to work with the X-Files, with the strong implication that she was to debunk them. Over the years that they have worked together, her trust in his instincts and her respect for his integrity have eroded her skepticism. She finds her faith in a scientific and orderly universe constantly challenged by the cases she pursues with Mulder. Far from being a spy for the bureaucrats who hinder their work, Scully is a full partner in the X-Files, focusing on assembling the hard evidence that will prove the truth is out there.
FOX |
Special Agent Fox Mulder was on a fast track in the FBI when he
took a detour into the paranormal. Convinced through hypnotic regression that his sister
was abducted by some unknown power when they were children, he is now obsessed with
discovering the truths hidden in the X-Files, a repository for the extraordinary, the
unexplained and the supernatural.
Recruited into the Bureau after studying psychology at Oxford, Mulder showed an
inclination toward the off beat from the beginning of his career. His early monograph on
serial killers and the occult led to the capture of a notorious murderer. But far from
pursuing what could have been a stellar career within the Bureau, Mulder chose "the
basement office with no heat" where the FBI hides the X-Files. Only his network of
contacts in Congress and other halls of power has allowed him to continue his
investigations in the face of official indifference and covert opposition. Opposed by
enemies within the Bureau itself and beyond, the only person he can trust absolutely is
his partner
