...demobbed from the FBI, are back in the Bureau's headquarters, waiting outside a closed door to take a meeting with their former colleagues. They glance at a wall portrait of the President ... and for a moment we hear the first six notes of the whistled theme that cued '90s TV watchers to the weekly spookiness of The X Files. Hmmm. Could George W. Bush be an alien - or an alien abductee? A yes to either question would explain so much...
...Today's target demographic was barely sentient when the show was in its mid-'90s prime. The kids want thrills, and I Want to Believe offers some good ones, though of an old-fashioned variety.

The town's legendarily cranky fans answered the ''tomahawk chop'' of Atlanta admirers with the sign TOMAHAWK SCHMOMAHAWK, while the Phils summoned a very '90s street attitude. ''Beat this,'' they told the Braves, and took Atlanta four games to two. America's city in 1776 is the U.S. capital of baseball in 1993. Philadelphia, the largest small town in America, is used to being slighted. Where other cities have megalopolitan pride, Philly carries a provincial grudge...
