>Mulder and Scully are government agents investigating the government with help from the government to avoid the obstruction of the government in order to prove that the government is covering up what is being done by the government
>>220464907 Why kill them when they're working for you? Every time they find a hole in your security you patch it. They'll find the vulnerabilities you didn't even know you had in your conspiracy. At the same time they rack up loss after loss, never getting any real proof and it looks like they're wasting their time. You delegitimize them and strengthen your operations at the same time
>>220464907 It's not like they were going to find out it was the final remnants of the ww2 nazi regime. Wernher von Braun was the lesser space craft designer. The nazi stealth crafts with the hydrogen inflated wings that look like saucers got some nice upgrades I'd say. Kek. Caught you.
>>220464907 Smoker allowed it all. Obviously Mulder was followed by a bunch of UFO nuts and the lone gunman knew him, so making him a martyr wasn't a good idea.
>>220464907 In the X-Files the government is basically Bill Murray, they get off on letting Mulder and Scully see them do crazy shit and then smugly saying "no one will believe you"
>>220464907 scully was sent by the powers that be to give mulder something else to care about so he would never really become a threat. the series is about how unconsciously if you aren't actively volcel you're compromised
>>220464907 I liked this show as a kid but is does NOT hold up all. The Monster of the Week episodes all follow the same exact formula and the "main narrative" is just ridiculous and never gets a satisfying resolution so who cares.
