X files. "crazy" stuff

The X files episode we watched in class was a very interesting one. Largely due to how closely it echoed the quote in our Twelve monekys movie by brad pitt saying " Crazy is majority rule". In the close of this Episode the entire town was ready to murder the monster, and all stood behind the doctor. Then after simply hearing the monster talk they all suddenly changed their minds and instead arrested the doctor. This was after the monster literally confessed to all the crimes that they were accusing him of. The town went from trying to kill the monster to going to a cher concert because he confessed. It was an interesting plot twist to say the least. This episode also encompassed how doctors sometimes do things " because they can" and not always because they should or because it helps people. This showed a rather negative view of the purpose of some scientific exploration. The father also did what he did " because he can" but he did it to help his "monster" son. This shows how science that can be bad for some people can also be used for good for another which shows the how opinionated some scientific exploration can be.
