The Lone Gunmen Aren't Dead?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the people-with-way-too-much-time dept.

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!"

  2. Dead? I spoke with one of them the other day... by Junior+J.+Junior+III · · Score: 5, Funny

    "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...

    *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.

    Next you're going to be telling me that Anakin is Luke's father and that Clark Kent is really Superman!
    Oh, now you're just being silly. I mean, Clark Kent wears glasses, for crying out loud!

    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.

    Spoiler Warning:

    Captain Kirk is killed on Star Trek 6 (The Undiscovered Country) - I saw it on the previews.

    You know, I've often wished that they killed me off of TNG, because that would have guranteed my return, multiple times, across numerous series and movies.

    Instead, I got to take off with the Galactic Pedophile.

    Dang.
