The X-Files was a daring show for many reasons, among them its willingness to sometimes surprise its audience with unique, unpredictable episodes. “The Post-Modern Prometheus,” for example, is a Frankenstein adaptation that imitates the style of classic black-and-white horror films and prominently features the music of Cher. “Home” is a disturbing, gory horror episode with distinct Texas Chain Saw Massacre vibes.
Season 7’s “X-Cops” is a crossover episode that finds FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully pursuing an alleged monster through the streets of Los Angeles as they, in turn, are being pursued by the Cops TV show camera crew. The episode plays as if it’s actually an episode of Cops, even using the signature title credits and “Bad Boys” theme song in the intro.
Watkins remarked that the episode was “a huge change from our usual look” and “took a lot of courage.” Indeed, suddenly adopting a new style for a single episode could’ve been a disaster. Had the episode, from a production standpoint, done a poor job imitating the style of Cops, it would have been impossible for the audience to buy the faux crossover concept.
When faced with both the logistical and creative challenges that the premise of “X-Cops” entailed, the X-Files team knocked it out of the park. They provided some insight into the psychology of their main characters, and they seamlessly blended a narrative show’s style with that of a reality TV show. It’s a truly daring experiment and a remarkable feat.
