\nChris Carter\u2019s interest in the paranormal was piqued when he read Pulitzer Prize-winning writer\/psychiatrist\/Harvard Medical School professor John E. Mack\u2019s analysis of a 1991 Roper Poll survey, which stated that at least 3.7 million Americans may have been abducted by aliens. \u201cEverybody wants to hear that story,\u201d Carter told Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. \u201c[Abduction] is tantamount to a religious experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\nIn a 1994 interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/em>, Gillian Anderson admitted that Duchovny was a skeptic and she was the believer. \u201cPsychokinesis appeals to me,\u201d she said. \u201cESP, telling the future, I love that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
\n\u201cI actually resisted the \u2018science fiction\u2019 label in the beginning, because\u00a0the show is actually based in science,\u201d Carter told WIRED<\/em>. \u201cIf it weren\u2019t for Scully, I think the show could be just kind of loopy. So the science and the accuracy of the science is all-important to the success of the storytelling. I think Steven Spielberg called Close Encounters of the Third Kind<\/em>\u00a0\u2018speculative science\u2019 and I would say The X-Files<\/em>, for me, has always fit more into that category.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
