I did see it, since I'm sort of a fan of "X-FILES". At first, I was really
angry, but as the show unfolded, they seemed to be confused and chaotic,
mixing everything in from Wicca, Satanism, OTO, Crowley, etc. and more or less 
giving the impression that they were trying to make a distinction between
"legitimate" occultism, and dabblers & dilletantes. It really ended up being
really chaotic and garbled. I'm still annoyed, but not sure what they were
trying to actually say. It's as if they were trying to straddle both sides of
the fence, or the middle ground.
