Obviously I loved it, being both an obsessive X-phile and biology major.

Having recently watched all 202 episodes of the original run of The X-Files (in preparation for the season 10 revival), I found this book to be a fun and engaging exploration of the science (and science-fiction) behind The X-Files. I appreciate that Dr. Anne Simon not only explores the correct applications of science in the show, but also critiques and corrects the use of artistic license to circumvent scientific reality. Ultimately, I find it very satisfying as a scientist to read about the care with which Chris Carter and Dr. Anne Simon approached scientific accuracy in The X-Files, though some of the metaphors Dr. Simon uses to explain scientific concepts and theory are unnecessarily complicated and confusing. Four stars:

good book but does not provide a scientific explanation for the insane chemistry between mulder and scully

Will hopefully get back to this when I’m not in school, currently too much science for my already academic filled brain
