  • Transcript of the Truth Is out There
    1 You’re listening to Imaginary Worlds, a show about how we create them and why we suspend our disbelief. I’m Eric Molinsky. There are two ways to go when extending a franchise – reboots, or revivals. I’m a sucker for the picking up where we left off – even if it doesn’t work a lot of the time because after so many years, the actors can’t relate to their characters anymore or the zeitgeist has moved on. But I just love the idea that these fictional characters are still going about their lives even while we’re not watching them. And so I will tune in with cautious optimism when The X-Files resumes for a limited run this winter. CLIP: X-FILES At its height, The X-Files averaged 20 million viewers a week – a huge number even before TV got fractured. I was so obsessed with the show, I had action figures of Mulder and Scully on my windowsill, donning little FBI badges, plastic guns and flashlights. In case you never watched the show -- Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were FBI agents assigned to paranormal cases. They were also on an epic quest to unravel a conspiracy between aliens and a small group of powerful men that were quietly preparing the human race for colonization. Mulder was believed in every supernatural phenomenon. Scully was the skeptic. But I wasn’t a fan to the end. David Duchovny left after seven seasons, and I thought they should’ve wrapped it up but they kept going with new actors.

  • 4.5.1 Los Abducidos: El Duro Retorno En Expediente X Se Duda De Si Las
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de Documents de la UAB 4.5.1 Los abducidos: El duro retorno En Expediente X se duda de si las abducciones son obra de humanos o de extraterrestres por lo menos hasta el momento en que Mulder es abducido al final de la Temporada 7. La duda hace que el encuentro con otras personas que dicen haber sido abducidas siempre tenga relevancia para Mulder, Scully o ambos, como se puede ver con claridad en el caso de Cassandra Spender. Hasta que él mismo es abducido se da la paradójica situación de que quien cree en la posibilidad de la abducción es él mientras que Scully, abducida en la Temporada 2, siempre duda de quién la secuestró, convenciéndose de que los extraterrestres son responsables sólo cuando su compañero desaparece (y no necesariamente en referencia a su propio rapto). En cualquier caso poco importa en el fondo si el abducido ha sido víctima de sus congéneres humanos o de alienígenas porque en todos los casos él o ella cree –con la singular excepción de Scully– que sus raptores no son de este mundo. Como Leslie Jones nos recuerda, las historias de abducción de la vida real que han inspirado este aspecto de Expediente X “expresan una nueva creencia, tal vez un nuevo temor: a través de la experimentación sin emociones realizada por los alienígenas usando cuerpos humanos adquiridos por la fuerza, se demuestra que el hombre pertenece a la naturaleza, mientras que los extraterrestres habitan una especie de supercultura.” (Jones 94).

"...Are you listening to me? Huh?" He stopped his frenzied movements and took Skinner's face between his hands. "Whatever is going on inside that thick skull of yours, this is no way to deal with it. We have to find a better way. D'you understand that? I'm not going to let you do this to yourself. Even if you don't give a damn, I do." Skinner's dark, glazed eyes suddenly focussed on Doggett as if those words had penetrated his foggy mind. "I mean it," Doggett said. He pulled Skinner against him, wrapped his arms around the big man's shoulders and held him tight against his body to share his own warmth, all the time running his hands over Skinner's back as he rocked him to and fro, still trying to rub some life back into the listless, shaking man. Skinner's bald head was pressed into his shoulder and the big man seemed to be drawing some kind of comfort from the contact as he slowly came to. "Hold on. Just keep holding on, Walter, because I'm not going to let you fall, I'm not going to let them destroy you…just keeping hanging on in there." 1. Part One by Xanthe 2. Part Two by Xanthe 3.

  • Writing an Episode of the X Files by Xanthe
    Re: Writing an Episode of The X Files by Xanthe http://www.xanthe.org/re-writing-an-episode-of-the-x-files/ Story Notes: Chapter 1 by Xanthe Memo to: Chris Carter. From: David Duchovny. RE: Writing an episode of the X Files. Yo, Chris! After some of the crap I've had to act in recently, I've been thinking that perhaps I should write an episode myself, to show the other guys how it should be done. So, I've had a few thoughts and this is an outline of the episode I'd like to write: Game of Gods. Mulder decides to share his body with a lonely alien whose own body has been destroyed in a spaceship crash. The alien gives Mulder the power to leap great heights. He leaves the FBI and becomes a top basketball star, winning game after game for his team and becoming adored by the whole world. Meanwhile, the alien introduces Mulder to his 12 wives, all of whom are blonde, with 3 enormous breasts each. Mulder is forced to have sex with them for the sake of his alien buddy (it's the least he can do). Meanwhile, Krycek threatens to expose Mulder's secret to the world, and Mulder has to beat him up a few times. (Nick Lea isn't prettier than I am is he? You're not really going to give him his own show, are you?) So - whaddya think? Let me know. I won't be offended if you turn the whole idea down, although I am the star of the show and I think you'll be hard pushed to replace me at short notice.

Then, out of the blue, Liz arrives on his doorstep telling Gene she’s off to Prague where she’s starring in a low-budget action flick. Liz asks Gene to help move her father, Malcolm (JOHN NEVILLE), out of his dingy basement suite into a sunny new apartment. Secretly seizing this as an opportunity to recapture Liz’s illusive love, Gene agrees to move Malcolm, despite the protests of his embarrassingly eccentric, yet loving family, and his lady-killer best friend, ballroom dancing instructor, Herbert (NICHOLAS LEA). As Gene and Malcolm prepare for the move, Gene’s plan seems to be working. He and Liz appear to be falling in love again, albeit long distance. Gene has also found an unexpected comrade in Malcolm, a distinctly articulate, if occasionally foul- mouthed Englishman with relationship issues of his own. Once the move is complete, however, things take a painful turn, as Liz once again breaks Gene’s hopeful heart.
