The “Christian Terrorists” and their ilk that bombed the
Alfred P Murrah Federal Building seem to be the terror threat du jour for
Clinton era TV series The X-Files, but is The X-Files just too anachronistic
for the Obama administration?

President Obama never
seems to be plagued by “Christian Terrorism” for much of his tenure – unlike
the Clinton administration and The X-Files who tackled the “Christian
Terrorists” who brought us the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building bombing and
other related treasons. But does the really austere fiscal environment of the
Obama administration even make the salient political themes tackled in the TV
series The X-Files seem hopefully too anachronistic by comparison?
Though there are a lot of “challenges” that the fictitious
FBI agents Mulder and Scully missed to tackle that were de rigueur threat to
“civil liberties enthusiasts” during the Dubya Bush administration before they
signed off – i.e. rogue private security contractors, extraordinary renditions,
etc. But will it spur on a reboot of The X-Files franchise probably by JJ
Abrams?
