I also heard something about trouble between Gillian and David in the past but don't know anything in particular. Perhaps there were some differences when David left the show for several episodes which meant a crack in the show for many fans.

And wow... that pic is ... nice...

Found that. If it is true.
"Anderson went on to study theatre at DePaul University in Chicago, moved to New York to act when she was 22 and by the time she was 24 she was in The X-Files. She didn’t know what had hit her – the success, the fame, the unforgiving schedule. There are so many stories about rows between Anderson and her co-star David Duchovny – fights over money and equal billing – that it’s hard to know whether she actually enjoyed her time on the show. Even today, she seems unsure. “It’s pretty heavy duty. We were doing 24 episodes a year – eight-day episodes, 16-hour days, five and a half days a week, nine months a year. For nine years that’s a long time. So, after a while you go ‘Aaaaaaagh! What’s happening, what have I done?’”"

I mean, look at them:

I'm pretty good at infecting you with... things...
And yes, that's a good comparison. I just read somewhere today a quote from Gillian where she said something along the lines of "Chris Carter did something brilliant when he cast us for the show, because whatever we did in front of the camera, it just worked".

Has anyone of you watched the two movies? I think in the second one they WERE a couple somehow, weren't they? Gosh, it's toooooo long ago ...

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I'm not really sure I've ever seen the second movie. I've seen "Fight the Future", but I'm not sure they really were a 'real' couple then. As far as I remember, they sort of never were what I would call a 'real, normal couple', just because the circumstances they were in didn't allow it. But they were in love, definitely.
I can't wait to see what their relationship will be/feel like in those six new episodes...
 

Is anyone watching the new miniseries?

The first episode of the new series starts here in the UK on Channel 5 on Monday at 9 p.m. (There is another showing at 10pm and on Tuesday at 11pm). Come the 15th February I'll be watching The Walking Dead then, so will have to get it on the Catchup. 

I absolutely loved the original X-files. It ran in Norway when I was a teenager, and the theme song still is as creepy and haunting as it ever was. I never watched past SPOILER when Mulder left SPOILER END.

Last week hubby and I watched the two first episodes of the new series. I was SO sceptical, because in my mind, those kind of revivals just doesn't work. And I am of course not going to spoil anything, but my reaction went a bit like this:

First episode:
No, that's not how it works. No, that is wrong. Omg, those simple solutions, this is disappointing! Well... ok, that was interesting. And, ok, I didn't excpect that...

Second episode:
OMG, sold! *contemplateswatchingtheentireoriginalseriesagain*

I've watched the first three new episodes and I'm quite enjoying them. That third one was a doozy! At first I thought it was ridiculous, but then I remembered they always had the occasional comic episode.

The third episode was glorious!  

I liked this weeks a lot too.   It made some very touching points about our lives today.
Also, the site of Mulder tripping out filled my heart with joy.
