There was an episode about the Loch Ness Monster, many episodes about UFOs. They also talked about religion, about faith and, in general, what is belief. I think that really connected with people. The writing was extremely intelligent.”Key interview moments:• 4:10 The appeal of "The X-Files" is no mystery at all, according to FAQ author John Kenneth Muir;• 18:30 If you really think about it, Muir says, "X-Files" creator Chris Carter's work is art;• 39:05 On a completely different subject, Muir explains why his massive collection of sci-fi, fantasy and genre toys are available for his little boy to play with to his heart's content, rather than keeping them boxed up.Subscribe to Mr. Media for FREE on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=MrMediaRadioFor more interviews like this one: http://www.Mr
