Als fan van The X-Files vond ik dit artikel erg leuk om te lezen. Het was één van de eerste series die ik iedere week keurig opnam van tv en één van de eerste series die ik aanschafte op dvd. Voor mij was dit het begin van mijn serie-verslaving!

How to Spot The X-Files in Homeland, Breaking Bad, and American Horror Story

A woman weeps when she discovers the husband she thought died years ago in combat overseas is actually alive; she has mourned him and remarried. What now?

A female agent weaves her way through a crowd at a political rally, desperately tracking an ex-soldier she thinks is about to open fire on government and military officials.

A veteran, disillusioned with the military (which he believes betrayed him), hides in plain sight while planning a series a high-level assassinations.

And it's hardly the only X-Files episode with echoes in current dramas, thanks to a group of alumni who are all currently cranking out quality shows: Gordon, Homeland co-creator Alex Gansa, Breaking Bad creator and showrunner Vince Gilligan, and American Horror Story's (among other things) Tim Minear all spent time writing for Mulder and Scully, and those episodes foreshadow their work today.
