The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead?
A reader writes: "With the series finale of The X-Files rapidly approaching, the official site has recently been updated with a brief description and a few images from the final episode. Normally, this would not be a notable occurance - except for the fact that one of the images, which are said to be from the final episode, is of The Lone Gunmen!"

Shall I even watch the last episode? Why don't you just post it's contents in slashdot subjects over the next 29.25 hours?

"Yes, it's true," he told me, "We're not really dead. Tell everyone not to worry. See, we're just actors. All that stuff you see on the TV show? It's not real. It's just make-believe. You know, stories?"
Honestly, even if they were killed off in the series, they could always be brought back in flashbacks, time-warps, cloning experiments, dream sequences, etc. etc.
You don't have to un-write what was written or disrupt continuity in order to have dead characters come back...
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
He is on trial for laughing at a fat man getting mugged, by an alien.
Imagine how hard it would be to include an image of the Lone Gunmen from a previous X-Files episode! Since that's so difficult, clearly it must mean that they're bringing them back to life!

Spoiler Warning:
Captain Kirk is killed on Star Trek 6 (The Undiscovered Country) - I saw it on the previews.
Is it:
(Lone Gunmen Are Dead) + (Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead)
Which nets out to be zero.
Or should it be:
(Lone Gunmen Are Dead) + ABS(Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead)
Which equals 2*(Lone Gunmen are Dead) = twice spoiled.
And then, what happens if this spoiler is wrong?
My next sig will be ready soon, but friends can beat the rush!
*First* Slashdot ruins the show for loads of people by saying the Lone Gunmen are dead. *Then*, after all the backlash, Slashdot ruins the show *again* by revealing that they aren't!
Geez... you think they'd learn!
Keep in mind we never saw them dead. All we saw were some closed coffins being buried. They probably just went underground and the funeral was a cover. The guys have probably been hanging out with Mulder, eating pizza and watching porn videos.
Hey, it's TV. No ever actually dies on a TV show, especially on a science fiction one...

It must be true - I saw it on TV.
Ideology is for ideots.
Next you're going to go and tell us that Spider-Man is some nerdy photographer and Batman is a millionaire playboy. I mean, really.

The Lone Gunman aren't dead, their publication was just temporarily shut down due to DMCA violations.

First you go and give away that they're dead before I get a chance to see it, and then you give away that they're still alive before I get a chance to see it. You guys really hate me, don't you?

If Slashdot keeps on blaring all these spoilers on the front page, I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy watching the X-Files again.
Well, I guess you're in luck, seeing as this is the final episode and all. Oh wait, did I spoil that for you too?
I heard about this one. Apparently Mulder is put on trial for breaking the Good Samaritan law after watching an overweight man get mugged and not acting to help. A lot of characters from past episodes show up in court to testify against him as character witnesses.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
