The X-Files died with the last scene of the last show this season.

I have to agree with Shemp. Agent Doggit is okay but X Files without Mulder is..well, hard to imagine. X files IS Mulder.

I hope they don't say, 'Oh, I'm glad Mulder's gone. What an ass--. He had a baby with me, kissed me and now he left.'"

I had better not find this upcoming season saying that Scully's baby is Mulders. I thought that the show made it pretty certain that she was impregnated by aliens in that cloaked ship?

I like Agent Dogget.

But the show has'nt been too good in a few years. Dave is going back to Red Shoe Diaries, which he says is the only show he really has passion for... and KIDS incorporated.

omar,
are you one of those pricks that proofreads your email, so you can bag on somebodies typos? That's a sad sign of insecurity.

--- anyways,
X Files should be dead now...maybe they just added one last season of X files so they can keep a fan base and make another feature film.

-What is Red Shoe Diaries? and is Kids Incorporated? Is Kids Incorporated that children's show I vaguely seem to recall?
Thanks!

Red Shoe Diaries is a "SkineMax" (2:00am ShowTime) Show about a man who is desperately trying to recover from the recent betrayal and the tragic death of his beloved fiancee, who attempts a novel form of therapy to overcome his great loss. He advertises in the personals, under the pseudonym 'Red Shoes', to pay top dollar to women willing to send to him diaries of their similar experiences and how they overcame them. These are those diaries.

I have no idea what "Kids Incorporated" is.

I thought Red Shoes was always some sort of light Cable porno... ;) Showtime seems to have a lot of those... *woot*

Good riddence, Duchovny. Make one more X-Files feature and answer all the questions from the series. Then bury it once and for all.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 5:51 PM

The placement of the apostrophe in "hasn't" is the dumbest reason on earth to snap at someone for. You need a life, Omar, cause this one DOES'NT seem to be doing you a lot of good.

By the way, ever consider that maybe he made a typo? (and I intentionally made it "does'nt" so no need to make an ass out of yourselve and get all anal-retentive on me, too)

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 5:52 PM

And 'yourselve" was a typo. use your common sense: you know what I and he meant, so there's no need for you to correct it if you didn't understand it.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 6:29 PM

I think the X-Files is not the X-Files without David. He is the reason we watch it.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 6:45 PM

Shemp, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I hope they do make another X- Files movie so it can answer all the questions.

No Mulder = No X-Files.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 7:12 PM

Duchovny left it too late to quit the X-Files. He's now typecast for life. No matter what we see him in, he will always be Fox Mulder. That character was his ticket to stardom and is now his curse. I'm surprised he accepted the role in "Evolution" - it looks like an episode of the X-Files.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 8:40 PM

i don't think that'll happen. he can be a diverse actor and i think he's got enough skills to prove it. it's the same with matthew broderick...his biggest role was Ferris Bueller but he can easily take another role that isn't anything like that one. same thing with Sean Connery being James Bond. duchoveny was probaby cast in Evolution just cuz it's a sci-fi movie that deals with aliens and people thought it'd be funny to see him do a sort of satirical view on the x-files...which is what this movie looks like. and i think that's part of the reason he left the show, to try other projects.
i got faith in him. he's a good actor and if he wants something completely different than an x-files-themed movie then he'll find it.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 4, 2001 10:49 PM

Broderick played Ferris Bueller ONCE - of course he's not typecast. Ever see Duchovny in "Playing God"? It was more like "Playing Fox Mulder Playing a Doctor". The character of Mulder draws so heavily on the real Duchovny that unless he plays a completely different part (Rain Man or something) he'll just seem like Mulder.

Ok, Ok, give me a break!
If x-files as a show is going to go on, then it needs to go on with the two new character's Chris Carter has brought on. Mulder & Scully needs to have a some what happy ending. ( and I might add, that Chris Carter should see a happy or un-happy ending to the X-Files ) Both David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson HAVE proved they can act in other things. Hey Man, live & let live! Oh by the way! Why can't it be Mulder's baby??? What a perfect excuse for not chasing aliens???

Omar:

First off in the english language we capialize the first letter when using names. Most of us learned this in first grade, you however decided to skip that grade and therefore earned your new name here at Dtheatre: Omar First Grade. We, your buddies will just call you: "F". Which of course means first grade or the name your parents call you "F#CK HEAD". Anyway welcome to Dtheatre F. Another thing F, my name is 100% American, Hells Kitchen is the name of the section of the city in which I reside, and my e-mail address. Next time try thinking first F.

It's too bad that X-Files will never be the same as it was a few years back, however with a good writing staff, and I hope a change in format they will be able to retain their status as one of TV's best shows.

How about if Mulder get his face burned off by aliens and has to live in a clear vat of extraterrestrial fuid that Scully pushes around on a Dolly?

That way you could just make an ugly Mulder doll in the FX department and he can stay on the show!

Those of you who do not have faith in Duchovny's post-X-Files career should really watch "Twin Peaks." A couple of years before The X-Files premiered, he guest starred as a cross-dressing DEA agent on a couple of episodes. It's downright hilarious!
Think "Tootsie" with a badge. (I figured I'd stick with the Dustin Hoffman analogy. After all, The X-Files itself has had many of the same themes as yet another Hoffman flick, All the President's Men.)

Posted by Pumpkin Boy (pumpkin_pie_studios@hotmail.com) on June 5, 2001 10:14 AM

I think that the final scene of this season would have been a good place to end the show's run, and make the transition to a movie franchise ala ST:TNG.
Then again, I like Dogget and his new partner (and I'm not talking about the accounting chick from the lizard-guy episode). They have good chemistry and I think it could do the show some good to find a new angle to approach things from.
HOWEVER, the thought of Scully returning for another season sans-Mulder really irks me. Mulder should appear in at least the first two episodes of season nine. That way when the transition is established we all aren't sitting on our butts, scratching our heads, going "Huh?"
I can only see two ways to complete the transition to a Mulder-free X-Files:
1) Mulder and Scully go into hiding to protect the child and proceed to get the groove on, giving the audience the sappy-happy ending they may or may not want. Then, Dogget and what's-her-name can go about their investigations without a breast-feeding third wheel. I absolutely hate this scenario and if anything remotely similar to this occurs I will be forced to reconsider my concepts of good and evil.
2) MULDER DIES (my personal favorite). Yes, it sucks as far as happy endings go, and pretty much screws Duchovny's chance at EVER appearing in another X-Files flick, but if he isn't man enough to stick it out one more season and give us all some proper closure, then he doesn't deserve that big fat movie paycheck. Robert Patrick has done a helluva job, being one of the most hated men in the X-Files universe, and if anybody should get that next movie, he should. It only seems fair.
Besides, Mulder's motivation through the series' run has been far too strong for far too long for him to just walk away. Granted, being dissected alive by aliens and living to tell about it may make a man re-evaluate his situation. But I think Mulder would be more motivated than ever.
Then, Scully could become a peripheral character and the plot line established with her pregnancy would come into play during the mythology episodes. During the rest of the show's run, she could be sort of a mentor. Just imagine a teary-eyed Scully on the phone as Dogget asks her opinion on a case. A bittersweet smile would crawl across her face as a tear streaks down her cheek and then she begins: "If Mulder were here...."

Posted by Jack (jack@dtheatre.com) on June 5, 2001 11:26 AM

Red Shoe Diaries is a "SkineMax" (2:00am ShowTime) = softcore baby yeah!

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 5, 2001 2:53 PM

Ok, this is my thoughts of the whole debacle.

The eight seasons so far have been Mulder and Scully's story. How they worked together, their relationship, their mythology, the conspiracy, the whole story. And with that last kiss in Existence, their story is over. It's now Doggett and Reyes' story now, with Scully seemingly a mentor.

I can't say I'm enthusiastic about Mulder leaving and his appearance in season 8, but I still want to watch Doggett and Reyes, provided Mulder does a cameo every once in a while.

But it makes sense that Mulder would leave now; I mean, what would he do? Keep on helping the guys with his own X-Files ideas, running around doing things he's not supposed to. Well, he would do that, but the story would get old.

Besides, where do you go with a story such as Mulder's is now? His search for Samantha is way over, his conspiracy quest is over, and all that is left is the side stories. And now that Mulder's completely out of the FBI, for what seems like good, what is there left to do but protect Scully and her baby and continue with a different life?

Ahh... That's my two cents.

Posted by FredHater (fred_hater@hotmail.com) on June 5, 2001 3:06 PM

Lighten up?

I just created a viable way to keep the Mulder character on the show without Dave D.

Sex life is right on track.

If you're looking for sexual frustration try that Shemp "Tiny" he is a repressed closet homosexual of the Hitler ilk, (he is gay but can't live the lifestyle so he's out to persecute the brave men and women who have accepted their homosexuality and are living full and happy lives) now thats one sorry loser who is in need of some lovin'.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 5, 2001 5:18 PM

Darn, and I was so much looking forward to seeing his cameo appearances at least to clear up some few things.

There are still some questions unanswered.. don't forget he didn't turn out like Miles. Has to be a reason other than Scully figuring it out. :/

AS for the baby... It may be mulder's as well as with the alien hybrid. If you recall, he was filled with the black oil and cured. Chances are that his blood's been modified, which survived the cloning of an alien hybrid which resulted in an healthy baby boy, which i hope is named after him. ;)

The last kiss, I talked this over with someone, it's not very passionate. It's more of a "thank god everything's okay and you're safe" kiss. I would say that that ending was somewhat disappointing. I waited for years for this to really happen but there was no build-up, sexual chemistry in that final episode that would result in a perfect long waited kiss.

One more movie or episode with Mulder and all the answers should suffice.

If x-files goes on, I'll check it out and if it sucks, no more X-files for me!

*SIghs* I'll miss David/Mulder.

It will be different with out Mulder but it seems to me that it needs something different. Maybe this will make X-Files last for a few more seasons.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on June 6, 2001 3:07 PM

There is a light at the end of the tunnel for Chris Carter's well-loved show. I must agree, it is not going to be the same without David Duchovney, but have you really divulged into the acting past of his reaper, Robert Patrick? The younger generation may most well know him as a psycho, both as the T-1000 on Terminator 2 starring with Arnold S. or on the movie The Faculty as the alien possessed football coach, starring along-side Pearl Harbor pretty boy, Josh Hartnett. But it doesn't stop there. Patrick is a well-diversified and highly talented actor.
We are (almost) all truly saddened by the loss of the heart of the show in Duchovney's leaving, but we should not sit here and bash Chris Carter or the show. It was David's choice. He was ready to move on in his life and as an actor, broaden his horizons. I say Congratulations to him for having the strength to make a move like that. We all should respect that he is an actor who cares enough about his career to know when to move on. Though, as for the show and for Carter, they're doing everything in their possible strength to keep this as interesting, beloved and intruiging as before Duchovney left. They've gone and cast several excellent actors and actresses, divulged into some intense storylines and probably spent more than they should have on PR. Let's cut them some slack here people! They're doing everything they can to keep you, the viewer, happy, and most all they're getting back is negative feedback. It wasn't their choice to lose Duchovney. Either sit with the rest of us and learn to let yourself divulge into all of the new adventures of Dogget and Scully, or cherish the fond memories as you will and move on to the rest of this coming seasons mostly-failing line-up. Hey - there is always repeats!

Let's face it X-Files is like the guy in star track who is in the red uniform, he just doesn't know he's dead yet. Duchovny was the X files and without him, well I'm moving on... the last thing I want to see is the show twitch and stumble for another season or two... the show really ended with the first movie.

I think the whole show lost its focus after the first episode. It is a good show, but it lacks the real pizzaz for the longevity it has received. The focus was on X or Xtra terrestrials. It strayed to everything but.

I agree. Once I saw that last scene showing Mulder and Scully kissing, while holding their(?) baby between them, I knew this was the end. Whether they go on next year or not, that last scene of this season will always be the true ending in my mind. To me, that last moment symbolized family, and considering that's not what the show is about, it should end there.

I think the X-files is not the X-files without the character Mulder in it. It just doesn't make any sense. About Scully and Mulder holding the baby and them kissing is GREAT!!! There are fans out there who wanted to see that and much more. Granted to do so would mean the end of that story plot but not the end of the X-files. The romance and chemistry betweent the characters is what made the show more interesting if you don't believe me check out some comments on my site.Link Text .
