David Duchovny In The X-Files Finale

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the end-of-an-era dept.

unemployed_schlep writes "According to the official press release, DD will reprise his Fox Mulder role for the two-hour series closer. He'll also direct and co-write (but not appear in) an episode to premiere in late April. The final five eps all deal with the mythology thread." I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping that the final round of episodes can wash the taste out of my mouth from this season. I know Carter & Co have it in them...

    This would be an excellent idea. The guy, Darin Morgan, directed my favorite X Files episodes. My absolute favorite was Humbug. Man, that was a funny eps.

    See this for more info on Darin.

    Or let the guy who wrote "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" write it

    That's Darin Morgan, who also wrote the Episodes Humbug (you know, the hilarious one set in the town of retired sideshow freaks), War of the Coprophages (good, not great), and Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose (hilarious, moving, Emmy-award-winning).


    He also appearead as Eddie Van Blundht in the episode Small Potatoes, which he did not write.

  3. Should have ended sooner... by NanoGator · · Score: 4, Informative

    X-Files was dragged along a little too long. I think the whole 'alien conspiracy' thing went on for too long, and really didn't tie up anything. It's like the show was grasping so hard to keep that little secret, it was unwilling to give it up for fear of prematurely ending the show.

    They really would have been better off ending it after the movie. Or maybe even ending it with a movie, I don't know.

    I would have been hyped about seeing it's finale in Season 5, but today it's like "uhh... people are excited about it?"

    I'm not trying to bash X-Files, I like the show. But now I understand why some series are ended with the explanation of 'we want to stop while it is still exciting.", kind of like they did with Deep Space Nine.
