The X-Files’ Darin Morgan teases tonight’s episode, a Trump-inspired “love letter” to The Twilight Zone

Entertainment Weekly

“The initial thing was trying to find some sort of Trump thing,” says the influential X-Files writer. “I wanted to write something about it because (the show’s) whole premise is 'The Truth is Out There,' and now your fictional characters work for someone for whom the truth is a bit fuzzy. So, you should write something about that. Rather than coming up with a story idea or a plot or the weird phenomenon thing, I actually started from that viewpoint. Which is a bit different from what I’ve normally done.” ALSO: Fox releases a midseason extended X-Files trailer.
