X-FILES MYTHOLOGY: COME WITH US

About

The mythology (also called mytharc) refers to a series of episodes in The X-Files that primarily focuses on an overarching story, involving the efforts of Mulder and Scully to investigate and expose the conspiracy to suppress knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrials.

The mytharc can get quite confusing so whilst I'm watching it all from the beginning I'm writing notes to help me remember it all. FYI, the notes contain spoilers.

The wiki entries on The Syndicate, The Colonists and The Men in Black are super helpful to get your head around it all.
