Moderator: <rad1701> to <Moderator>: Why didn't the last epsode of the "XFiles" last year tie into the movie?

Moderator: Will the early episodes this year tie up those loose ends??

VinceGilligan: Hi everyone, and Happy Halloween!

VinceGilligan: THe movie touched on certain things that were brought up in the last episode of last season, but certain other questions will be answered at the beginning of the new season. But I'm not the person to answer those questions, because I'm sort of a stand alone writer, and not one of the mythology writers.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <tweedl> to <Moderator>: Vince: Where did you come up with the idea for PUSHER?

VinceGilligan: The idea for Pusher began as a scene I had cannibalized from an old movie script I had written. It was a scene at the end of a science fiction movie I had written called Octane in which a secret hypnotic code word was used by the good guy in order to make the bad guy drive out in front of an oncoming truck. It was a pretty complicated movie script which never got made, but the basic idea of it wound up being the impetus for Pusher.

VinceGilligan: And basically I just thought it was a scary idea... basically I figured what's more scary than losing control of your own actions and having someone else control your life and your actions so that you would set yourself on fire or play Russian Roulette....

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <smithers11> to <Moderator>: are there any funny episodes such as small potatoes and bad blood being

Moderator: written for this season?

VinceGilligan: Absolutely!

VinceGilligan: As a matter of fact, this season will have several funny or at least "lighter" episodes. At the moment we're trying to come up with some very dark episodes to counter-balance.

VinceGilligan: We've got a new writer on our staff named Jeff Bell who on his first script for us wrote an extremely funny and sweet story much in the vein of Don Morgan. We're happy to have him on our staff.

VinceGilligan: Whoops... Darin Morgan.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <Cyrollan> to <Moderator>: What was the toughest episode you ever had to write?

VinceGilligan: That's a tough question... Lemme think....

VinceGilligan: They're all tough!

VinceGilligan: They're all about equally tough... probably the most fun to write, since I can't think of an answer for the toughest, was Small Potatoes.

VinceGilligan: Come to think of it, there's an upcoming episode for this season that took a long time to write.

VinceGilligan: It's called Drive, and it will air November 15.\

VinceGilligan: It was tough to write, but I'm proud of it. I hope the fans like it.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <cjxphile> to <Moderator>: How much freedom does Chris C allow you in choosing the topics

Moderator: you write about?

VinceGilligan: A lot of freedom, which is one of the reasons it's such a wonderful job. We basically have to go out and generate our own ideas, and that's always the difficult thing, coming up with these X-Files, and fighting these deadlines that we face. But it's a great freedom he affords us as staff writers.

VinceGilligan: And he seldom says "no" to an idea, provided we've thought it out properly.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <SculderHere> to <Moderator>: Hi Vince! Have you adapted your writing in any way to fit the characteristics and individual acting

Moderator: abilities of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson?

VinceGilligan: Good question.

VinceGilligan: Yes, as a matter of fact.

VinceGilligan: Having worked on the show for three seasons now, I see the acting strengths of both David and Gillian, which are many.

VinceGilligan: I often write less dialogue for them in certain situations because I know that a simple look, a glance between the two of them, will tell the story as well as any dialogue I could put in their mouths. Gillian in particular has such an expressive fact that very often she can get across very complex emotions without having to explain them in words. David, on the other hand, is naturally very funny, with a very dry and deadpan sense of humor.

VinceGilligan: So very often when I know there's a funny moment, a funny line is called for in a scene, I'll actually leave it out and defer to him hoping that he'll come up with a better line on the set than I would have written. Very often that turns out to be the case.

Moderator: <wook> to <Moderator>: Vince every writer has that super scrap of story or idea that they have never

Moderator: quite made whole. Do you have any creatures, mythology, or concepts that you have want to work into a

Moderator: X Files episode, yet havent quite found the finishing touch for? (and share something with us about the idea if possible).

VinceGilligan: At the moment, I don't have any long-incubating ideas which I'm trying to work into an episode, but for the last two seasons, I had this crazy seed of an idea which puzzled me for the longest time how to work it into an episode. And finally this season, with the help of Frank Spotnitz and John Schiban, we cracked a way to make an episode out of it.

VinceGilligan: It's an idea based on the movie Speed, and I'm afraid if I say too much more or I'll give away the secret to the episode. But it is show #2, which I mentioned before. It's called Drive.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <Palipane> to <Moderator>: Who figured to call Scully "Scully"?

VinceGilligan: That would be Chris Carter. The story I'm told is that he named Scully after one of his favorite sportscaster, Vin Scully. "Mulder," on the other hand, is the maiden name of Chris Carter's mom.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <CathyB> to <Moderator>: Hello Vince - If you could do anything you wanted with the characters of Mulder and Scully for one episode, no limitations, where would you take them?

VinceGilligan: The nice thing is, Chris Carter puts so few limitations on us already that every time you see an episode written by myself or by Frank Spotnitz or by John Schiban, you're basically seeing what we want to do with the characters. In other words, we're making their characters grow and develop week after week just in the way that Chris and we want them to. That's why Chris is such a good guy to work for.

VinceGilligan: I, for instance, wouldn't want to see Scully and Mulder actually go so far as to have a romantic relationship, which I think the person that's in question might be alluding to. I hope this doesn't upset too many fans, but I personally think it would be a mistake to do that, and lose all that wonderful sexual tension that exists between them now. {Teresa opina: Eso son palabras del jefe! ;oP}

Moderator: <Elizabeth> to <Moderator>: Mr. Gilligan -- I'm a young, Southern screenwriter wannabe, so naturally I find your success story quite inspiring. What advice would you give to people planning careers in screenwriting?

VinceGilligan: First off, the old saw of "write, write, write"

VinceGilligan: is about the best advice I can think of off the top of my head.

VinceGilligan: You're not really a writer until you're writing every day. Second of all, I would recommend as a screenwriter entering as many screenplay contests as you can find. I got my professional start when I won a screenwriting competition for a movie script I wrote called "Home Fries." Ten years later, the movie has been made and will be released soon, and I owe it all to the fact that by entering these screenwriting contests I got my work read by working Hollywood professionals.

VinceGilligan: So enter every screenwriting contest you can find, because they're usually judged by working producers, directors, and writers, and it's a good way to network.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <Pizza-Man> to <Moderator>: What the season premeire of the X-Files is going to be about?

VinceGilligan: It's a big secret!

VinceGilligan: No seriously, it will further our understanding of the mythology, of the ongoing grand conspiracy that Mulder and Scully are working so diligently to unravel. Aside from that, there's not much more I can tell you about it, unless you want to get me fired!

VinceGilligan: .

VinceGilligan: Expect it to be really cool though!

Moderator: the right side of their screen.

VinceGilligan: Chris Carter wrote it and Kim Manners directed it, and it's our first episode ever shot in Los Angeles. And I think it looks darn good.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <Earth2XFile> to <Moderator>: How has the move to LA affected the atmosphere of the show?

VinceGilligan: We have a wonderful new crew who we feel lucky to be working with. We very much miss the old crew in Vancouver, though, because they were like a big family to us. And they did wonderful work for five seasons.

VinceGilligan: Obviously, with the bright sunshine of California, it is sometimes harder to effect that classic "X-Files" look, but our wonderful directors and crew are up to the task.

VinceGilligan: It's just a bit more work for them.

VinceGilligan: But also now, we get to shoot in the desert, which we never got to do when we were based out of British Columbia. So we've got that going for us. Now we can recreate Area 51, for instance.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <Antone> to <Moderator>: Mr.Gilligan: Can you tell us about your recent projects? What should we be looking out for?

VinceGilligan: Look for the movie "Home Fries," which will be released Thanksgiving weekend. It's movie I wrote back in 1988, and it took a long time to make it to the screen, but I'm extremely proud of it.

VinceGilligan: It has nothing to do with science fiction however, but please go see it anyway!

Moderator: Please send your final questions for Vince Gilligan to me, Moderator: /msg Moderator

VinceGilligan: It stars Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson. Luke, you may recall, starred as Sherriff Hartwell in the episode "Bad Blood," the vampire episode I wrote last season.

VinceGilligan: Aside from "Home Fries," I'm just busy writing "X-Files" episodes. Chris, Frank, John and I are very proud of Season 6 so far. We feel it may be the best season yet.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <TrueBlue> to <Moderator>: Are the writers suprised, flattered, amazed that the fans of the show seem to know them as well as they know the actors?

VinceGilligan: We are definitely surprised, flattered, and amazed!

VinceGilligan: We all work very hard creating The X-Files, and we are extremely proud of it, therefore it's very gratifiying to see that so many people throughout the world enjoy it and enjoy the characters of Mulder and Scully as much as we do.

VinceGilligan: And yes, the fans seem to know a lot more trivia about the show than even I do!

VinceGilligan: Which makes me a little embarassed... But I think it's great.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: <Aazari> to <Moderator>: Vince, I really enjoyed the X-Files books "Ruins" and "Whirlwind". Is there any chance these will make it to the small screen?

VinceGilligan: It's possible, although we have so many ideas, and in particular, Chris has so many ideas for upcoming episodes, that it may not happen for a while, if ever.

VinceGilligan: But we're glad fans enjoy those books as well as the TV show.

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: And as our final question...

Moderator: <Styles> to <Moderator>: In the series are you working with some ultimate conclusion in mind or are you building one as you go forward ?

VinceGilligan: I believe that Chris Carter, with the help of Frank Spotnitz, has a pretty detailed idea of how the series will end. I think Chris in particular is an extremely far-ranged thinker, and has always been where The X-Files is concerned. But you have to understand, he plays it pretty close to the vest when it comes to telling me about his ultimate plans for the end of the series.

VinceGilligan: I don't know.... maybe he thinks I'll go and blab them all to the fans who log on to the Dominion!

VinceGilligan: .

Moderator: Any final words for your fans before we go unmoderated?

VinceGilligan: Please keep watching The X-Files, and go see Home Fries if you have a chance!

VinceGilligan: And Happy Halloween!

Moderator: Thank you so much for chatting with us. Hope you come back in the near future.

Cyrollan: Thanks for a great five seasons, and good luck in the sixth and seventh!
