(I said spoiler-free. I lied a little about the vibe, not the plot.) The X-Files is fandom as weather system. Fox, 1993, two FBI agents, a basement, a poster that is already a meme. Mulder believes. Scully has a medical degree and a spine. The rest is twenty-five years of people arguing whether the monsters were…
