I will state that I'm consistent on this. I don't like government
conspiracies in life or in fiction. I worked with a guy at a video game
company once. We shared a cubical. And he believed that the US government
orchestrated 9/11 and the attacks in order to get us into two wars. (sigh.
No. The amount of planning and orchestration involved? Please. Eyeroll.)
And then there was Whitey Strieber who was convinced people were being
kidnapped by aliens and experimented on -- which became a popular sci-fi
television trope to the point that I wished the stupid aliens had kept
Strieber and not sent him back to earth to write it.
The mind is very suggestable. We will believe just about anything our mind
tells us to believe...unfortunately. EVIL sort of plays with that a bit,
which is the one thing I liked about it. Evil plays with similar concepts
but does a better job with it s did the X-Files and Rosewell for that
matter.
