Of all the shows “we did on The X- Files, one of my favorite episodes, maybe my favorite episode, it was called The Post- Modern Prometheus. It was really a Frankenstein story about a kind of unexpected Frankenstein.” Carter As far as, The X-Files at the “time had the highest production values of any TV show. So that was different. And yes, cinemagraphically and story-wise, it was very different from what people were used to at the time. It was before all the shows that followed us that copied us. It was the first one. ” Gillian 7 BLUEBOOK When I read the Pilot “script for X-Files, I thought it was a good script. I thought "Oh this is an interesting pilot, an interesting story, an interesting one hour movie." I knew it was going to be about aliens and I thought, "Well nobody is really intersted in that." (Speaking about 'Post-Modern Prometheus') It just kind of had David everything that The X-Files was. Post- Modern Prometheus was somewhat funny, somewhat artistic, it was somewhat scary, and it was all those things put together. And at the end of it is this beautiful image of Mulder asking Scully to dance and then it turns into a comic book. I remember when I fist saw it, I got chills because that's kind of how I'll remember the show. And in fact when I catch the show on TV now, it's like watching home movies and I'll remember what was happening that day.” 8 BLUEBOOK Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi, Nicholas Lea and Frank Spotnitz at London Film & Comic Con 2012. The pictures fill our hearts and gladden our eyes. “I think the best episodes were the ones when we didn’t have much money.

The question is who’s going to write the script and when? I’m up for it.” by Irina by Sabrina Selle by Raani Scholes by Irina 10 BLUEBOOK by Amy Jo Johnston 11 BLUEBOOK It started with an vision: an X-Files convention on German soil. Organised by fans with the help and support and Ifor fans. In the beginning of 2009, the project started: Within the most active and largest message board of the German Phile commu- nity, xfiles-mania.de, fellow campaigners were looked for - and found. With the blessing and support of 20th Germany Fox Home Entertainment, the work load for the organizing team and the volunteers on-site rose astronomically: Potential locations had to be scouted, legal matters had to be sorted out, a homepage needed to be setup, supporters had to be acquired and so on. Thanks to the never-ending hard work of the participants the first X-CON was successfuly held at the Hotel Mercure Berlin Tempelhof Airport on October 17th and 18th 2009. The positive feedback from the attendees and guests showed that even 7 years after the last episode of "The X-Files" had been aired - the X-Philes are still out there and the X-Files Fandom is more alive and active than ever.
