I just don't see the point.

Each episode, something happens which makes absolutely no sense. It's 
not that it's "mysterious", it's just nonsensical. Molder and Scully 
investigate. A series of utterly incomprehensible events occur. It turns 
out that the conspiracy was actually a conspiracy to create a conspiracy 
that would make people think the conspiracy was actually a conspiracy 
about a conspiracy to create a conspiracy. But then that turns out to be 
wrong too. And after about an hour of abject failure to make any kind of 
weakly comprehendable sense, the show ends.

WTF?

I mean, seriously. Any moron can write a bunch of gibberish that doesn't 
make sense. But where's the entertainment in that?!
