September 10, 1993 was the premiere date for The X-Files. Coincidentally, this year’s anniversary even falls on a Friday night, which is when XFiles originally aired. Seventeen years ago, we met Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, and began a journey through the most thrilling tv seasons that television had to offer. Trust No One and The Truth Is Out There became household catchphrases, ‘msr’ and ‘ust’ became common terms, and nine minutes became a significant reference of time.
