how can weird stuff happen to them every week?

Its ridiculous the amount of aliens, monsters, time travel, ghosts, AI etc .. something that would be a life altering spine chilling once in a lifetime experience that would probably frighten you into having a heart attack ....every week! Its ludicrous! The pair of them would be basketcases by the end of the first year. Look at various SF movies Alien, Terminator, Predator, Thing, Matrix, Close Encounters, ET etc ...the central characters only deal with one mind blowing event in their lives which they lucky to live through and it goes on to define their lives and thats it (until sequels of course but even those are kind of understandable and flow naturally) .. Mulder and Scully are dealing with Aliens, Terminators, time travel, Things, matrixs, Androids, vampires, werewolves etc on a seemingly daily basis!! Its just ridiculous!

XFiles would've worked better had they finished the series when they did the movie in 98 (which was actually quite a decent SF conspiracy thriller movie like Silence of the Lambs meets All the Presidents Men meets Close Encounters meets Alien/The Thing) then just done a film every few years like star trek or better still just done a movie series from the outset (but then that wasn't feasible as it had to be a tv series)

I mean Star Trek can get away with it as its the far future they on faster than light starships travelling planet to planet encountering weird shit every week..it could happen it probably will in 300 years or so when you think about the changes of the past 100-200 years and the rate things are now changing/new inventions (although in reality it'd probably be closer to the Alien series ) also something like The Invaders could get away with it as it was just one thing a behind the scenes alien invasion. maybe if XF stuck to the central alien invasion conspiracy but then they go off and do other monsters/AI/timetravel/ghosts etc of the week stuff to fill in lol
