Gillian Hosts "Masterpiece Theatre" ...

Unsilent — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:19:11 GMT

Guess she's really staying in England - lucky girl.

X-files Movie (1998) in High Def

Tue, 01 May 2007 03:54:34 GMT

If anyone has high definition TV (lcd plasma dlp).... they played the X-files movie on one of the movie networks (can't remember which one). I missed it though. Usually they will play them again! Should be awesome if they do.

How about we take turns citing a quote from an episode and someone has to guess the eppie? The person who gets the quote right first (including who said it), gets to cite the next one!

"Agent Scully is already in love."

Which episodes made you angry?

Unsilent — Thu, 12 May 2005 18:04:41 GMT

A personal list of offending stories---your mileage, of course, may vary (and probably should):

"Home" is, in my opinion, one of the very worst shows---possibly, THE worst---of the nine years. I know it was meant as sort of a "Twin Peaks" tribute, but as I never enjoyed that series, the effect was lost on me...also, the unforgivable stupidity displayed by Scully and Mulder (watching a cop get killed by the booby-trapped house, *AND THEN* they choose to enter it themselves) and complete lack of either suspense or real need for the agents to even BE there in the first place...plus the fact that it would have been a LOT scarier if, instead of killing the sheriff and his wife, the three mutant scum brothers were maybe their best friends. That would have been lurid and creepy.

"Trust No 1" is Scully's all-time lowest point. She moans and weeps throughout the storyline like a love-sick teenager (the line "I wanna see [Mulder] SOOOOOOO bad" made me literally cringe) and Doggett, who is clearly in love with her, does nothing but wait around for her to decide what to do, which may work on afternoon soaps but is completely unacceptable from a hero on an action-adventure-suspense series that wants us to take it seriously. Also, the discovery of how to "beat" the supersoldiers is shoehorned into the last 5 minutes of the show....

Another big offender from the last season is "Jump the Shark"---both because it killed the Lone Gunmen off, and because the final cemetery scene was lacking in any emotional content. Scully has literally been saved from her own death on at least two or three occasions by the boys, and all she can do is frown?????? (When Mulder is later seen in the finale, he speaks to their ghosts and never once dispalys any grief of his own, either, and we know he owes his own life to the Gunmen, too.)

"Closure" is very, very bad, too...after positing for several seasons that Samantha is still alive, at least in clone form (which, while not as good as the original, surely beats what the rest of us would have, which would be nothing at all), Mulder simply "decides" that she's dead and lets go of her. I can understand his desire to get on with his life after 24 years of searching for her, but this was really disappointing...and the New Age, touchy-feely "turned into starlight" thing was excrutiatingly bad, too.

I loved "Millennium" the series and was mostly glad to see Frank Black do the XF ep of the same name, but the *complete absence of the Group* in that story was incredibly lame.

New Gillian Interview

BloodStainedParadise — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:38:43 GMT

Evening Standard Magazine
January 19, 2007

The Magnificent Anderson

Since Gillian Anderson moved to London, she's got married and divorced, secured a BAFTA nomination and had a new baby with a new man. As her political thriller, The Last King of Scotland, garners praise, she talks to Annabel Rivkin about her unconventional life.

Gillian Anderson speaks slowly. Her three-month-old son Oscar was awake until 4:30 this morning, 'and that's not normal,' she says, calm but bleary. 'The thing is, I moved house at the same time as he was born so I started from a place of tiredness.' She was meant to move with her boyfriend, businessman Mark Griffiths, and her 12-year old daughter Piper, a good month before Oscar was born but he decided to come early. 'He was 6lb 8oz, which is a decent weight,' she says, 'but he had a lot of fluid on his lungs and so he was quite tubed up and was in intensive care, and I couldn't pick him up. But we got to take him home [from the Portland] after a week so we actually were very lucky.'

Anderson became famous 14 years ago when she embarked on a ten-year stint playing Dana Scully on The X-Files and, over the past year, there had been much speculation over the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy. It was widely reported that Anderson's marriage to the former journalist and now bio-fuel entrepreneur Julian Ozanne officially ended only after she became pregnant by Griffiths. She declines to comment except to say that she finds it highly offensive when people assume she is only in her current relationship with Griffiths because she 'fell' pregnant and that the reported dates are inaccurate.

Married to Ozanne for 16 months but with him for three years, she suffered both a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy. 'So after you've had that, you don't say, "Oh, I'm pregnant but I won't take this one, it's not convenient, I'll take the next one."' She had wanted a second child - she had Piper with her first husband Clyde Klotz, an art director on The X-Files - for some time but she's not entirely blinded by her own happy situation and acknowledges with a discreet nod that her ex-husband must find this entire episode very painful. 'I wouldn't have planned it this way,' she says. 'I wouldn't have wished it this way but it happened and at 38... Complicated but, at the same time, 38. There was no question. It shocked a couple of people, but the ones who really know me and who have known my history over the past couple of years, well, they also know when I'm sane and when I'm not sane. And me being sane and pregnant was a much better recipe for their friend than me being not sane and not pregnant.'

One journalist likened an interview with Anderson with wrestling a crocodile and she has certainly been vocal on press intrusion, but when I first meet her she's eight months pregnant, round yet compact in a tight black dress, and I find her terribly kind and very good company, even if she does put it down to a hormonal flood that is allowing her to 'float above everything'. Even though she was voted sexiest woman in the world many times during The X-Files years, and had more than 9,000 websites devoted to her red-haired charms - it was dyed, she's a blonde - it wasn't until her luminously miserable, virtuoso performance as Lady Dedlock, in the Andrew Davies adaption of Bleak House, that her bone structure and poise began to read properly.

During her ten years on 'The Series', as she refers to The X-Files, the producers had a habit of dressing her in dowdy trouser suits; not that deterred her devoted fanbase. The costume designers even managed to disguise her first pregnancy with lab coats and eventually an alien abduction. 'Most of the time I look like shit,' she says merrily. 'I mean, I don't brush my hair and half the time I don't look in the mirror before I leave the house and at the moment I own three things that fit.' Indeed she is no Victoria Beckham when it comes to dressing up to go shopping and her red-carpet outfits do not lead one to believe that she sets much store by stylists, yet her face is getting better and better. With age, her aquiline nose gets haughtier and her pout looks self-assured rather than childlike. Her eyes are unusually changeable in both colour and mood.

She is, by turns, daffy and focused but always wilful. 'I was, from early on, incredibly self-ruled,' she says, 'and I was going to do what I was going to do no matter what, and that was very challenging for my parents.' She uses 'challenging' to mean difficult and painful, as do many people who have spent any time in Los Angeles. 'I felt that I was an adult from the age of 14.'

Her perfect Received Pronunciation comes from a childhood in Crouch End. She and her parents moved to London when she was two so that her father could attend film school. They returned to Michigan when she was 11 and her father set up a video post-production business. Soon her brother and then her sister were born - Aaron is now doing a PhD in California and Zoe is an artist and teaching assistant in Minnesota - and from when she was 14, Gillian was in therapy. She still is. 'It's very casual for me,' she says. 'It's no big deal; it's just there in my life and I find it helpful. I like self-examination.'

She shaved off her hair, pierced her nose and brought home drug-addict boyfriends who stole. Her high-school classmates voted her Most Likely to Get Arrested and on prom night she duly was, for attempting to glue the school doors shut. 'Most of my life I've felt as though something was wrong,' she says. 'I've always had a feeling that I've done something or something's happened or something's about to happen. Something's not quite right.'

The sadness that she's always felt lurking is not, she says, depression. 'I don't know where it comes from and although some of it certainly comes from my life, some of it just seems to surround me and I'm sure it can be really pathetic and annoying for people who've spent time with me. Just the endless f***ing seriousness.' She doesn't come across as a moaning hysteric, but perhaps this access to her strange reserves of grief is why she has played such serious roles on screen and is currently receiving lots of offers to play mad women. 'I don't know why I can do sad,' she says cheerfully, 'but it seems to come naturally.' Actually she's rather funny and girlish and a little flirty, very different from any of her on-screen personas from Scully to Dedlock to Sarah, the character she plays in Kevin Macdonald's The Last King of Scotland - a film about Idi Amin and his crazed butchery in Seventies Uganda - more of which later.

After drama school in Chicago and a year waiting tables and partying in LA, she was, aged 24, cast as Agent Scully opposite the more seasoned David Duchovny. The X-Files was filmed in Vancouver on a rigorous schedule involving 16-hour days over ten months of each year. Soon after starting the show she married Klotz, whom she met on set. Piper was born months later and the pressures of work, marriage and motherhood took their toll in the form of panic attacks. 'I have a tendency to throw myself at life,' she says. 'There's a wonderful aspect to that but there's also a price and the price for me has been my emotional and psychological stability. The panic attacks started when I was pregnant with Piper. They started at work and then they would happen every day and I felt like I was going mad. After Piper was born, I would nurse her, shaking from anxiety, and then I started having them in the middle of the night, so I would get home from work at one in the morning and then be having one until four. It was hell on earth. If it hadn't been for my newborn child I wouldn't have been able to handle it.' She tried anti-anxiety drugs but they made her sick. Meditation has helped because she says, 'I have to stay very present in my body to stop it happening.'

Her marriage to Klotz was over within two years and there followed a couple of on-set romances - such was the workload that it was the only place she really met and got to know men.

In 2002, The X-Files finished and she was released into her future, which is a big place when you have been so fiercely managed for so long. 'I don't think I realised what an impact the ending of it was going to have on me emotionally. I was so excited about the freedom that I don't think I allowed myself time to process what had happened. I am terrible with time now because I still feel as though I've only got half an hour and I have to make the most of it. I had to learn to be a mother in 20-minute time slots. I'd come back to the trailer, give full attention and then full attention an hour later for five minutes. It's been amazing with Oscar because I have the time to spend with him. When Piper was born I was 26 and my working hours were ridiculous. At 38, I feel like I've earned motherhood and the right to take it all in and not feel distracted.'

Piper lived most of the year in Canada with Klotz while she was at school there, but now she is at school in London. Anderson is keen to ensure that her daughter doesn't find the transatlantic move, combined with the arrival of a younger sibling, as difficult as she did. 'The irony is that I moved from England to the States when I was 11 and within two years I had my first sibling. I found it very challenging. And I am trying to make sure that she doesn't have the same experience. But no matter how much love, family and everything you give, it's still a very complicated thing for a child who has been the centre of everyone's attention for such a long time to suddenly feel that they are being usurped. You have to be mindful of everyone's experience. I don't think Piper was prepared to love Oscar so much.'

After leaving The Series, Anderson came to London to do theatre (she played at the Royal Court and the Comedy Theatre) while periodically nipping off to film the tough, independent movies she favours. For four years she's been adapting the novel The Speed of Light by Elizabeth Rosner which she hopes to direct.

During her time in London she met Julian Ozanne at a dinner party and they loathed each other. He thought she was a Hollywood nutter and she thought he was rather wide, but they became friends, married in 2004 and lived together in Notting Hill, an area in which she has lucratively bought and sold ever since.

She was hesitant about accepting the part in Bleak House. 'I knew that the films I'd made weren't going to come out until afterwards and my whole thing was about moving from television to film, which was what I'd always wanted to do. It absolutely turned out to be the right thing to do - it was blessed from the start.' She was nominated for a BAFTA, an Emmy and now a Golden Globe.

The Last King of Scotland is a relentless bullying, political, violent film that is attracting huge amounts of attention. It co-stars her fellow Golden Globe nominee Forest Whitaker as Amin and James McAvoy as the young Scottish doctor who gets pulled into the dictator's web of brutal madness. In fact, Anderson's part, as a missionary doctor's wife whom McAvoy attempts to have an affair with, is a small one. 'I'm generally drawn to complex, real-life characters. Coincidentally I'd been to Uganda three or four times in the years before we started shooting because Julian was working there and I'd met women like her; women who were brave and ballsy and willing. Something clicked and I thought, "I know this person." I've intimately watched the rise of the movie and I've been as surprised as anyone that a film of this kind can gather so much heat.'

She has another film called Straightheads, co-starring Danny Dyer, coming out in April. In this she is brutally raped and then exacts her revenge; but then no one expects a romcom from Anderson (which may well compel her to make one). Beyond Straightheads and her screenplay, she plans to 'sit back for a while'.

She doesn't know whether she and Mark will get married and, despite Oscar, thinks it's 'way too early for me to tell. I have to start looking at what part of me jumps into things too early and f***ks things up. I do believe that it's all 50/50 and that it's never one person's fault but I'm the common denominator in my two divorces. Sometimes my reasons for doing things are not the best. It's like a childish reasoning; not informed or fully thought out. I just think I need to pause a bit more before I leap.'

There is an appealing quality about Anderson who alternates between reckless dashing and myopic, blinkered focus. 'But I don't like hurting people,' she says. 'And my intention is not to hurt people. And that starts somewhere; it doesn't just happen at the end bit. I'm trying to use this time and this experience to slow down.'

I hope she gets what she wants. I hope the sadness stays at bay and her relationships are what she wants them to be. 'I have no regrets,' she says. 'I've had some extraordinary men in my life and most of them are still part of my life and I think that's really beautiful.'

The Last King of Scotland is out now.

His "X-Files/Millennium" production company, after all, was named Ten Thirteen:

Wiki claims it's because this is his birthday, but I remember reading that he named it this because it was his wife's. In either case: many happy returns.

Darren McGavin, TV"s Kolchak ...

Unsilent — Sun, 26 Feb 2006 22:55:22 GMT

His 1970s monster-hunting reporter was the primary source of inspiration for Mulder, according to Chris Carter. He later played the "original" X-Files investigator in two episodes of the series, as well as Frank Black's father in several "Millennium" episodes.

Prolific Actor Darren McGavin Dies at 83
Sunday, February 26, 2006 1:01 PM EST
The Associated Press
By GREG RISLING

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Darren McGavin was painting a movie set in 1945 when he learned of an opening for a small role in the show, climbed off his ladder, and returned through Columbia's front gates to land the part.

The husky, tough-talking performer went on to become one of the busiest actors in television and film, starring in five TV series, including "Mike Hammer," and endearing holiday audiences with his role as the grouchy dad in the 1983 comedy classic "A Christmas Story."

McGavin, 83, died Saturday of natural causes at a Los Angeles-area hospital with his family at his side, said his son Bogart McGavin.

McGavin also had leading roles in TV's "Riverboat" and cult favorite "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." Among his memorable portrayals was Gen. George Patton in the 1979 TV biography "Ike."

Despite his busy career in television, McGavin was awarded only one Emmy: in 1990 for an appearance as Candice Bergen's opinionated father in an episode of "Murphy Brown."

He lacked the prominence in films he enjoyed in television, but he registered strongly in featured roles such as the young artist in Venice in "Summertime," David Lean's 1955 film with Katharine Hepburn and Rosanno Brazzi; Frank Sinatra's crafty drug supplier in "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1955); Jerry Lewis's parole officer in "The Delicate Delinquent" (1957); and the gambler in 1984's "The Natural." He also starred alongside Don Knotts, who died Friday night, in the 1976 family comedy "No Deposit, No Return."

Throughout his television career, McGavin gained a reputation as a curmudgeon willing to bad-mouth his series and combat studio bosses.

McGavin starred in the private eye series "Mike Hammer" in the 1950s. In 1968 he told a reporter: "Hammer was a dummy. I made 72 of those shows, and I thought it was a comedy. In fact, I played it camp. He was the kind of guy who would've waved the flag for George Wallace."

Born in Spokane, Wash., McGavin was sketchy in interviews about his childhood. He told TV Guide in 1973 that he was a constant runaway at 10 and 11, and as a teen lived in warehouses in Tacoma, Wash., and dodged the police and welfare workers. His parents disappeared, he said.

He spent a year at College of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., taking part in dramatics, then landed in Los Angeles. He washed dishes and was hired to paint sets at Columbia studio. He was working on "A Song to Remember" when an agent told him of an opening for a small role.

"I climbed off a painter's ladder and washed up at a nearby gas station," McGavin said. "I returned through Columbia's front gate with the agent." The director, Charles Vidor, hired him. No one recognized him but the paint foreman, who said, "You're fired."

McGavin studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse and the Actors Studio and began working in live TV drama and on Broadway. He appeared with Charlton Heston in "Macbeth" on TV and played Happy in "Death of a Salesman" in New York and on the road.

He is survived by his four children — York, Megan, Bridget and Bogart — from a previous marriage to Melanie York McGavin, Bogart McGavin said. McGavin was separated from his second wife, Kathy Brown, he said. Services were set for March 5 at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

The "Xmas" Files.

Unsilent — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 23:11:16 GMT

Mulder: We're too late. It's already been here.

Scully: Mulder, I hope you know what you are doing.

Mulder: Look, Scully, just like the other homes:
Douglas fir, truncated, mounted, transformed into some
sort of shrine; halls decked with boughs of holly;
stockings hung by the chimney, with care.

Scully: You really think someone's been here?

Mulder: Someone or some THING.

Scully: Mulder, over here -- it's fruitcake.

Mulder: Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal.

Scully: It's O.K. There's a note attached: "Gonna find
out who's naughty and nice."

Mulder: It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list.

Scully: Who? What are you talking about?

Mulder: Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid
entity who could travel at great speed in a craft
powered by antlered servants. Once each year, near the
winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from
the heavens to reward its followers and punish its
disbelievers with jagged chunks of anthracite.

Scully: But that's legend, Mulder -- a story told by
parents to frighten children. Surely, you don't
believe it?

Mulder: Something was here tonite, Scully. Check out
the bite marks on this gingerbread man. Whatever tore
through this plate of cookies was massive -- and in a
hurry.

Scully: It left crumbs everywhere. And look, Mulder,
this milk glass has been completely drained.

Mulder: It gorged itself, Scully. It fed without
remorse.

Scully: But why would they leave it milk and cookies?

Mulder: Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing
can stop its wilding.

Scully: But if this thing does exist, how did it get
in? The doors and windows were locked. There's no sign
of forced entry.

Mulder: Unless I miss my guess, it came through the
fireplace.

Scully: Wait a minute, Mulder. If you are saying some
huge creature landed on the roof and came down the
chimney, you're crazy. The flue is barely six inches
wide. Nothing could get through there.

Mulder: But what if it could alter its shape, move in
all directions.

Scully: You mean, like a bowl full of jelly?

Mulder: Exactly. Scully, I've never told anyone this,
but when I was a child my home was visited. I saw the
creature. It had long white strips of fur surrounding
its ruddy, misshapen head. Its bloated torso was red
and white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned
away, and when I looked back it had somehow taken on
the facial features of my father.

Scully: Impossible.

Mulder: I know what I saw. And that night it read my
mind. It brought me a Mr. Potato Head, Scully. IT KNEW
I WANTED A MR. POTATO HEAD.

Scully: I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to
disregard the laws of physics. You want me to believe
in some supernatural being who soars across the skies
and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen
to what you are saying. Do you understand the
repercussions? If this gets out, they'll close the
X-files.

Mulder: Scully, listen to me: It knows when you are
sleeping. It knows when you're awake.

Scully: But we have no proof.

Mulder: Last year, on this exact date, S.E.T.I. radio
telescopes detected bogeys in the airspace over
twenty-seven states. The White House ordered a
Condition Red.

Scully: But that was a meteor shower.

Mulder: Officially. Two days ago, eight prized
Scandinavian reindeer vanished from the National Zoo
in Washington, D.C. Nobody - not even the zookeeper -
was told about it. The government doesn't want people
to know about Project Kringle. They fear that if this
thing is proved to exist, then the public would stop
spending half its annual income in a holiday shopping
frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully,they
cannot let the world believe this creature lives.
There's too much at stake. They'll do whatever it
takes to insure another silent night.

Scully: Mulder, I --

Mulder: Sh-h-h! Do you hear what I hear?

Scully: On the roof. It sounds like . . . a clatter.

Mulder: The truth is up there. Let's see what's the
matter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wish I could take credit for having written this -
it's funny!

The importance of Vancouver ...

Unsilent — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 21:31:48 GMT

Bought the DVD package for year 1 of "Millennium" and in watching the Pilot Episode ("The Frenchman") with Chris Carter's commentary track, I was hit once more by how brilliant it was to shoot both that series and "X-Files" in the city of Vancouver. Because it looks so unlike Los Angeles or New York, and yet can double for each on film, Vancouver has a unique quality from a physical standpoint. The use of Canadian actors who might be nigh unknown to us Yanks is also a real positive because we don't tend to think 'oh, right, him from that other thing' so much as 'that guy's lying to Mulder, I can feel it' --- i.e., we think of the character more than we do the performer because we don't have so much familiarity with his or her work. Carter went on to say how much he liked the fact that he was outside of his comfort element in working in Vancouver and that it pushed the series towards being more creative.

Millennium Box Set...

Unsilent — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 23:29:49 GMT

Last weekend I purchased the Year 2 edition and it's been amazing to see how dense and dark the series was, and how smart, too. At first, I didn't see the appeal of the series; it was pitched as a more violent yet less otherworldly edition of X-Files, but it quickly toned down the gore and toned up the bizarre, and it became quite an excellent companion series. All of which makes Frank Black's disappointing 'zombie' episode of X-Files all the more curious a viewing experience; I think they did his character justice and it was amazing to see him interacting with Scully and Mulder, but still...what a missed opportunity. Mulder could have made a fascinating adversary for those who ran the Group, but I guess you only get one conspiracy of enemies per character in Chris Carter's thinking---Mulder had the Syndicat, Doggett had the Super Soldiers, and Frank had his Group.

FAVORITE SCULLY MOMENT?

C-K — Fri, 08 Oct 2004 22:59:30 GMT

C'mon Gilly lovers, weigh in.

my fave- and there are so many ( I mean just staring at those beautiful lips is my favorite moment) is in "The End", when a TOTALLY PISSED Scully goes to visit the LGM to get the dirt on that lying skank, Diana Fowley. If there is any question Gillian Anderson is not the best actress in the history of Television, her acting in that scene puts it all to rest.

Lone Gunmen

Thu, 30 Jun 2005 06:39:52 GMT

Okay, chris carter needs to create a new show.
He could make whatever he wants and have it totally be unrelated to x-files. I don't even have to watch it.
...but then...halfway through season 2 of this supposed show and he is under contract for 5 more years for new shows...

Get this...

He kills off all the main characters, brings back in the lone gunmen from the dead, and returns us back where the last episode left off.

Gillian Anderson Weds Longtime Boyfriend
Jan 18, 5:51 PM EST

The Associated Press

NEW YORK - Former "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson has married longtime boyfriend Julian Ozanne.

The couple exchanged vows Dec. 29 at a friend's beach house on Lamu's Shella island, off Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, People magazine said Tuesday. The ceremony, which included hymns sung by a Kenyan choir in Swahili, was attended by immediate family and a handful of close friends.

"I can confirm it took place," People quotes Jonathan Clayton, a veteran London Times African correspondent and friend of Ozanne's.

"It was a spectacular occasion. They were both delighted, but I would rather not go into details."

Anderson's manager, Connie Freiberg, confirmed the report Tuesday.

Ozanne, 42, a documentary filmmaker, was previously a correspondent with the London Financial Times.

Anderson, 36, starred as agent Dana Scully in the Fox sci-fi series "The X-Files," which co-starred David Duchovny.

She has a 10-year-old daughter, Piper, from her previous marriage to production designer Clyde Klotz. Anderson played Lily Bart in 2000's "The House of Mirth," an adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel.

I put together a page on the startling parallels between the X Files and the Isis-Osiris mythos. Frank Spotnitz really dug it, hopefully you will too...

All I ever watch are X Files reruns

C-K — Sun, 10 Oct 2004 02:47:02 GMT

Well, that and old videos on VH1 Classic. That's it. I just watched "Christmas Carol" last night and did not weep! Ahh, progress. But "According to this... I am Emily's mother"? If that doesn't kill you, you're heartless. Like those so-called fans on alt.tv.xf who thought "Closure" was stupid!

Well, if there's an X Files disease, I'm it's poster boy...

SPEAK

jesse — Sat, 01 May 2004 01:13:36 GMT

hey, i'm new to the tribe. there doesn't seem to be much in the way of conversation lately. i was hoping change that. i wanted to talk about some of the characters we've seen throughout the seasons. who do you love or hate or love to hate. my favorites are probably the smoking man, and alex krycek. i guess there's nothing redeeming about krycek at all, but for some reason i really like him. anyhow, hope to hear some other opinions. later, jesse.

The Bees

Sun, 20 Jun 2004 23:46:26 GMT

This is not a trivia questionairre, more like research. After my elector-shock and hypno therapy - there were certain episodes of X.F. that i can't remember much of.

1). What was the first episode that introduced the "Bees?"

2). How many episodes were centered around the "Bees" or had the "Bees" part of that episodes plot line. Please list them in order from old to new in one fell swoop if possible. otherwise I will take what I can get.

Also and this is just for kicks: How many of the episodes had at the beginning, instead of the "The truth is out there" motto, had the name of the episode.

Gillian Anderson licking David Duchovny

Amber — Sat, 28 Feb 2004 23:35:45 GMT

One the photos posted for this tribe is a magazine cover of Gillian Anderson licking David Duchovny's face. I remember reading two letters to the editor in a subsequent episode of the magazine. One woman was outraged by the cover, saying that if she had wanted to see a tongue bath, she would have purchased "Cat Fancy". The other woman, however, said, "I don't know who I envy more. Gillian Anderson, or her tongue." I, who was madly in love with both Mulder and Scully at the time, of course, loved the photo, as well as any other publicity shot featuring the two in suggestive positions.
