Message
0/5

Not too many positive messages here.

Role model
3/5

Though government authorities are repeatedly shown as untrustworthy, corrupt, and potentially evil, Agents Scully and Mulder uphold the FBI traditions and rules (including not abandoning a fellow officer). They also represent two different aspects of human inquiry. Mulder is imaginative and open to even the weirdest possibilities. Scully is more hard-headed and scientific. They have an incipient romance, not explored in depth here, but show professional appreciation and loyalty to each other.

Violence
3/5

Alien claws gash humans; humans stab aliens. Explosions and gun shots. People bleed and get shot in the head and there are massive explosions.

Sex
2/5

A few off-color references. Agent Scully is supposed to be naked in suspended animation, but we don't see much.

Language
3/5

"S--t" and "a--hole."

Drugs
3/5

Agent Mulder gets drunk in a bar. A villainous character ("The Smoking Man") smokes a lot.
