Open your mind to extreme possibilities

Scully's desire to be recognised as a medical doctor, ooze, mouthfuls of difficult dialogue and the tendency for characters not to make it through the pre-titles sequence were just a few of the tragically underexamined elements of THE X-FILES phenomenon - until the first edition of this book. Now the authors take their study of television's weirdest show through to the end of series five, and THE X-FILES movie.

X-TREME POSSIBILITIES presents a unique analysis of the programme that transformed US television. While sometimes witty and light-hearted, this volume is also a serious study of the elements that made the show such a success. As well as a detailed episode guide of the first five seasons, the book pieces together the nature of the series' Conspiracy - and attempts to discover just what the truth is.

Never before has THE X-FILES been put under such focused, affectionate and bizarre scrutiny.
