I love Dana Scully. She's my favorite character of all time. But when I watch The X-Files, I find myself rooting for science and rational thought and getting mad that she's always made wrong when you know--she's actually right. Vampires don't exist. There should have been a better balance.
I made the decision to not try to analyse the science at all and it really helped me enjoy the show!
Well, yeah, there is no real science, right? It's absurd, pure fantasy, really but it works on that level. The X-Files wanted to have it both ways.
