Next might have been a little ahead of it's time. Watched an episode of the X-Files reboot the other night that dealt with the dangers of AI and that aired eight years ago Rm9sbG93ZXJz

Dark Skies came out to ride the coattails of the X-Files phenomenon. Which I think actually worked against it because it was never accepted by X-Files fans.

Dark Skies was actually more interesting to me because they incorporated historical events. It was cool too when the DVD was released about a dozen years after it was cancelled. The stars of the show had very fond recollections and were very proud of the show.
