If you look at 'The X-Files' generally, we did 202 episodes. About 80% of them are not 'mythology' episodes, which tend to be the epic episodes. They deal with the big conspiracies, the search for Mulder's sister. They deal with what I would call the 'saga' of 'The X-Files.'

Carrie Brownstein

I've always been interested in queerness and underground and fringe and periphery, and who and what flourishes in those spaces.

What a splendid perspective contact with a profoundly different civilization might provide!

...if you were designing an organism to look after life in our lonely cosmos, to monitor where it is going and keep a record of where it has been, you wouldn't choose human beings for the job.

It's an unnerving thought that we may be the living universe's supreme achievement and its worst nightmare simultaneously.
