#4. X-Files X-Files brought together elements of supernatural and conspiracy theory better than any other fictional story could. It ran from ’93 to ’02, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson played the main two characters, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Mulder was always the bad boy who didn’t give a damn and was always pushing the envelope. Scully was the rational scientist type always trying to find the explanation for the unexplainable. Most of the series had one-timer episodes where they would investigate monsters or whatever, but the good part is what is referred to as the “mythology” where the conspiracy theory comes into play. The cigarette smoking man is a shadowy fella who follows Mulder around and you find more and more out about the government cover operations run by “The Syndicate” who are up to no good. The Syndicate is pretty much analogous for The Illuminati, hence its inclusion on this list. There were nine seasons, the first seven being the best and peaking before they decided to barely include Mulder in the show for the last two seasons. The show was still okay, but why they would mess with the formula at the peak of its success is beyond me. Maybe it’s a conspiracy in and of itself. At the time of the series end in 2002, it was the longest running science fiction television series ever.
