: The X-Files Meta-plot
I've been re-watching the first four season of the X-Files over the last few weeks. Chris Carpenter, the creator of the X-Files, pretty much admits that they didn't have a coherent alien-conspiracy meta-plot in place when the series began. Instead, the meta-plot was created "on the fly" as the show developed. In my opinion, that shows. In fact, it's awful difficult to watch the show and not come to the conclusion that there are multiple alien presences on Earth -- and multiple government conspiracies with very different agendas that involve the various alien groups.
