🌠🛸🕶️ Dark Skies 🕶️ 🛸🌌 [View all]

Dark Skies was a show that tried to tap into the popularity of The X-Files

Although it failed to get the X-Files type buzz

I would argue that it actually holds up better over time the way they were able to use historical events as plot devices against the backdrop UFO mythology.

Dark Skies actually came to mind watching an episode of Without a Trace on Charge TV recently..
Quotes

Duncan: [to Martin and Samantha] Wait, so you're like the real Mulder and Scully? I mean, that's it, right?

Martin: Yea, that's us.

Duncan: Yes!

Connections

References The X-Files (1993)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0749676/

So the FBI agents on Without a Trace were making an X-Files reference to a missing person who claimed to have been abducted by aliens

The Agent being compared to Mulder was played by Eric Close the star of Dark Skies
