| Season 1 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on Friday, September 10, 1993 on FOX, amidst some doubt over the viability of series' nature. The show was developed by Chris Carter, who, after becoming interested in stories of purported alien abductions and government coverup-type incidents (such as Watergate), formed the concept of a darker investigative-type show touching on such aspects and other, more supernatural facets, featuring elements from such titles as ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' and the recent hit film ''[[Silence of the Lambs]]''. After his first pitch to the network was rejected, he re-worked the pilot into network approval with help from Daniel Sackheim, then a producer for ''[[NYPD Blue]]''.

| The main stars ultimately chosen were an interesting pairing: [[David Duchovny]] - an LA actor more inclined towards feature film work, who, by that time, had appeared in smaller, generally lesser-known parts (his recurring role in ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' arguably being the sole notable instance), and [[Gillian Anderson]] - a then 24-year old actress with considerable theater experience but little familiarity with film or TV productions. Also interesting was their characterization, with Chris Carter opting to go against known typecasts and setting up the male character, Mulder, as the 'believer' and Scully, the female, as the 'skeptic' (Ironically, those qualities are reversed for Duchovny and Anderson in reality). Carter, despite being a California native, opted to have the series filmed on location in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, primarily due to its' considerable amount of surrounding forestry (and the atmosphere it provided).
| | '''''Coneheads''''' is a 1993 comedy film based on the popular ''Saturday Night Live'' characters. After being shot down and stranded on earth, the conical-headed aliens Beldar ([[Dan Aykroyd]]) and his mate, Prymatt (Jane Curtin) find out rescue from their homeworld will be a long time away - Until then, they must survive and blend in with their human neighbors all whilst dodging an ornery INS official ([[Michael McKean]]). The film also stars David Spade and [[Chris Farley]] as well as featuring [[Sinbad]] and [[Adam Sandler]] in early feature acting roles, along with cameos from numerous other ''SNL'' cast members. |

| The first season ran for 24 episodes from September 1993 to May 1994. Though all done in-sequence, the episodes consisted entirely of 'one-and-done' stories, with no real overarching storyline(s) nor any long-term story planning. Subsequently, as the show formed a basis for what would be its' main background mythology (regarding a combined government and alien conspiracy) and developed actual 'arcs' pertaining thereto, the show would continue featuring unrelated single-episode stories, which would be known as 'Monster of the Week' episodes. In addition, many guest actors in the first season, intended only for minor characters with few or only even single appearances, would have their characters become recurring roles throughout the rest of the series. Among these would be Assistant Director Walter Skinner ([[Mitch Pileggi]]), the administrative head of the X-Files unit (and as such, Mulder and Scully's direct superior), in a major recurring role and ultimately as a starring regular in the [[The X-Files - Season 9|ninth season]]; Mulder's consulting conspiracy-theorist group, 'The Lone Gunmen', who would later be featured in numerous episodes and would also have their own short-lived spin-off series; and most notably, the pilot's considerably minor 'Man #2' character ([[William B. Davis]]), who would greatly evolve and expand to become primarily known as the 'Cigarette-Smoking Man', the series' principal antagonist. The setup of much of the show's background and secondary characters in these early years were due to the influence of writing duo Glen Morgan and James Wong, who would go on to develop their own series ''[[Space: Above and Beyond]]''.

| Season 2 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on September 16, 1994 and would conclude the following May with 25 episodes, the most of any season in the show. Like the previous season, S2 was also filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Season 2 started strong, but with a bit of a dilemma - Co-star Gillian Anderson had become pregnant towards the end of the first season, meaning her pregnancy and eventual childbirth would occur during shooting of the second season. The question of how the show should handle this, both on-screen and off, came to a head. Series creator Chris Carter, who fought considerably with FOX executives to allow Anderson to be cast in the first place (the network had wanted an actress with a broader reach, either by greater recognition or sex appeal), now had to fight again to keep her role from being re-cast. Subsequently, the show ultimately decided the solution was to operate around her pregnancy. Behind the screen, Anderson would simply be shown in ways that would not easily reveal her physical changes, while in the show's story, she was relocated and split from working with Mulder (allowing her screen appearance to be more limited) and then kidnapped and abducted to explain her absence for when she had to finally leave to have her child.

| Writing this portion of the season around her pregnancy would result in the shows' first 'arc', an overreaching story that would span several episodes. This arc would tie in with the already somewhat-established (and fairly popular with viewers) government/extraterrestrial conspiracy and would introduce new details and intricacies to this aspect - Ultimately it would serve as the cornerstone for much of what would become the show's main background mythology going forward. Another side-effect of this process was the inclusion of a new character to partially fill Scully's role as a partner to Mulder, who would subsequently become a turncoat and adversary in the show. This role, Alex Krycek, would be filled by [[Nicholas Lea]], who had previously played an unrelated bit part in Season 1. Krycek, like several otherwise limited roles, would grow to become a prominent secondary character throughout the remainder of the series.

| Season 2's production would also introduce into the staff Vince Gilligan, a freelance writer and fan of the show who would become a major series writer and producer and pen many of the show's most notable and highly-rated episodes. Gilligan would eventually develop his own highly-regarded AMC series ''[[Breaking Bad]]'', featuring, in starring roles, several noted guest actors from ''The X-Files''.
