X-files--sci-fi or just fiction?

   I think that the X-files slips in between science fiction and fiction throughout season 3, but for the most part it's fantasy. I think it scratches the border of science fiction. During the season  they discover many supernatural things, such as aliens, but they never really take it into the science aspect. For the most part they try to dive into "why aliens?" or like "what is happening and why?" but a big part of the series is that it is never really answered. By trying to create cliff hangers I feel like they are actually taking away from the science aspect of the show.

   I feel like the science aspect of this is a missed opportunity. They could make the show so cool if they explained more advanced technology that the aliens had. Or if they had just gone more in depth to any of the science they mentioned in the show. I know I might get a lot of backlash from saying this, but I don't get all the hype around this show. I see all the potential this show could have had, but I've just had trouble getting into it. I don't see the show as having a strong plot line and I really have trouble getting attached to the characters, and I feel like I don't have much to say about it even after watching almost an entire season. Overall I don't think that it is a bad show by any stretch of the imagination, I just don't see why it had such a following.
