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!"
Not to be sarcastic, but is the submitter of the original story not familiar with a narrative device called a flashback? Just because they're in a picture of the episode, does not mean they're still alive.
If they died to begin with, that is - I really have no idea, I have stopped watching a few seasons ago when it just got too convoluted. But I was disappointed to hear that they potentially bit the dust when that was reported, I always liked them, so hopefully that they are indeed alive. I'm definitely going to see the next XFiles movie, and they'd make a good addition to it.

I particularly liked that the super-intelligent chimps were housed at the "Boulle Primate Research Center". Pierre Boulle, was the author of the novel that was eventually made into the movie Planet of the Apes. He wrote the novel that was made into Bridge over the River Kwai as well.
I'm not an X-Files fan. But one of the dudes that plays the lone gunmen is a vancouver actor. He was on a local show by the name of Urban Rush. And he said that he would be in the final episode.
It was suggested that the lone gunmen aren't dead because they appeared in a teaser for the next episode. That's not a spoiler, unless people refuse to watch the teaser. Trasporting ourselves back in time, to say, 1982. How many Star Wars fanatics refused to watch the trailer for Return of the Jedi because it might show some spoilers? What's that you say? Three people? Well those three people apparently post to /. and I don't care about them, and neither do most others.
