And I have to point out that that if GA was in the same position, I would be saying and feeling the same. Trying to pair Scully with anyone else is just a huge error. M *AND* S are TXF. I haven't read the whole EW article, but the more I read of it, the worse it gets. There again, I have no faith in CC - haven't for a while.

Now they are out to make sure he is eliminated from the minds of the viewers. HA! There's a dangerous lack of gray cells to be found among the 'suits' in Hollywood. The gradual collapse of network television as the public flocks to cable stations in droves should wake them up -- but that's assuming they have the brains to understand what's happening.

You are from: Chicago, Illinois Referred by: People's Links Comments: For years, the writers have told us that the premise of the X-Files was to tell us about Mulder's 'quest' for the truth by using Scully as the P.O.V. For years, we've been told that Mulder was "essential to the project" AND subjected to the endless 'tease' of the Mulder/Scully relationship. Now, all that is 'dispensible.' I would have rather that they 1013 had shown the 'guts' to kill Mulder off and martyr him,leaving Scully to carry on 'his quest.' Instead, they've opted for this 'limited role' garbage for no other reason to manipulate the audience into watching a show that's abandonned it's heart. While I am willing to assume that some of the statements in the EW article, especially RP's and GA's remarks, were taken out of context by the author to fit to the construct of the article, they simply show that Carter/Spotnitz and Fox have never truly understood why the show was successful in the first place. While others may choose to stay with the show, I will only do so to see what happens to the Fox Mulder character, a character I have come to know and respect. And, in the process of doing this, I've lost all respect for 1013 and Fox. I'm tired of being treated like an idiot and a fool who will 'go along' with anything they do.

I dont care about all the "be positive about Season 8 and when not, you are not a real fan" stuff. The only reason I ever fell in love with the X-Files was because of the character of Mulder and the way David Duchovny portrayed him. Mulder is absolutely unique in the history of television, especially as a male character. All those qualities that CC seems to degrade now drove people towards Mulder. He is such a succesfull character because he doesnt show the typical male characteristics. Sadly, in my opinion they didnt manage it to be as unique with the character of Scully as well. For me, without Mulder, the X-Files is nothing but a show where the makers didnt manage it to bring it to a dignified end because their hunger for power and money seems to be endless. As always, the art is ignored when it comes down to the question of money. I love the X-Files but I nevertheless hope that the makers calculated new approach will fail and the audience is clever enough to not let themselves be manipulated to follow every direction the "creator" points out.

| Visitor's name: Anne You are from: Ottawa, Canada Referred by: Just Surfed On In! Comments: The X-Files has had a wonderful run of seven years, as it has challenged and entertained viewers, provided some truly scary, funny and poignant moments, and introduced memorable characters whose graces, strengths and foibles personify the show's themes and concerns (and by extension, those of the audience). In the vast lexicon of all these characters, however, that of Fox Mulder has truly been the shaping and driving force of the series' complex storyline. Mulder's character has grown along with the stories, and has come to mean much more than one man's search for his missing sister. His unceasing fight for justice and understanding, humour in the face of adversity, intelligence, empathy for victims of violence and conspiracy, and very real loyalty to those he loves have made him a truly heroic figure, albeit a very human one. This has been due in no small measure to David Duchovny's subtle and powerful portrayal of a man whose quest has become so familiar to viewers that his character has come to personify the series. Ignoring or denying the contribution that Duchovny and Mulder have made to the program is an insult to the actor and to the audience whose loyalty has kept the show running, and poured money into the pockets of Fox. Duchovny's contribution in the form of writing, directing, acting, and above all, fiercely stated interest in maintaining the show's quality and his character's integrity are well-known. The powers that be have a moral obligation to do right both by the character and the man. Failure to do so negates the positive themes of the show itself, is a slap in the face to Duchovny's contribution, and an insult to the intelligence and loyalty of the audience. Loyal viewers can accept change, but we expect, and demand, justice for a character and an actor we've grown to love. Sign Time: Sun September 24 2000 |

I hope to see more such Web sites. I am appalled at FOX and 1013 for their seeming attempt to firmly put Mulder in the past. He and his relationship with Scully are THE soul of the show, and it should not continue without either of those things. I want the show to end after this season, because I think it would be foolish and reprehensible to continue the show without DD. I want to see both Mulder and Scully get a proper send-off, together, so that I can look forward to future movies and continue my Philedom. If they continue it into a 9th season without Mulder, I will be unable to stomach even reruns. I have loved this show, and the character of Mulder, too much to watch it mutate into some Frankenstein's monster version of itself. David is about the only one associated with the show I still have respect for, because he's the only one who seems to realize that it's time to *end* it. The great ones *do* know when to leave the stage. After the promise of Requiem, I figured I'd give it at least a few DD-less eps to see how they handled things. Then I started hearing spoilers about boring-sounding MOTWs that had NOTHING to do with a search for Mulder, and I decided I'd watch the 2-part premiere, tape the rest, and decide based on the opinions of people I trust whether to watch individual eps. But the EW piece just scuttled even that interest. What upset me so much about the article (beyond the just-plain-wrong cover) was how everyone involved felt the need to pump up RP and the "new" XF by denigrating or writing off DD and what has gone before. Plus, it insulted me by being *so* tranparently full of PR B.S. It was just all Doggett, Doggett, Scully and Doggett, Doggett. Sorry, but for me, that Doggett won't hunt.

I personally did not feel the need for a new actor. Nick Lea and Mitch Pileggi could have filled the void in episodes where Mulder did not appear. The final season with Mulder should be spent resolving old story lines which were left dangling and showcasing the supporting actors that have made the show great as well as letting us say goodby to Fox Mulder, a great character, played by the only actor that could have given him such a multilayered personality.

It's great to see a tribute to DD and his portrayal of Mulder, and seeing so many people in support of him is all the better. The letter on the main page pretty much articulates my thoughts. David Duchovny has become the reason I watch the show, and he'll be missed - by many, it seems, after reading through this guestbook. I think he and Gillian have breathed life into this show for seven years now, and its a shame that it has to end like this - I always hoped the series would end with them together, like always, and then maybe continue on the big screen in years to come. But, it seems we're stuck with a new guy and a phase-out of Mulder. Sad, because the X-files were Mulder's passion to begin with, and no replacement will ever really do. I will miss Mr. Duchovny on the show, and I'm not quite sure how much the Mulderless episodes will capture my interest this year. After certain comments in a certain mag, I'm not even sure I want to watch. I guess we'll have to see how it goes. I wish David the best of luck in the future in whatever he chooses to pursue. DD, thanks for bringing Mulder to life for so many years. Your talent is unsurpassed and you will be sorely missed. Sign Time: Sun September 24 2000 |

It was Mulder's stand-up belief in what he did, his almost painful vulnerability, and dry wit that have kept me coming back week after week, year after year. While I think GA and MP and all those involved have done a consistently amazing job working alongside DD, for me XF will be a shadow of what it was if Mulder is not a central character throughout the season, or at least the focal point of the episodes he *does* appear in.

I'd also like to think that, so long as he's got them, that he'll be writing powerful stories for the characters we already love. I'd like to believe that Carter plans to use Duchovny as a precious resource to deliver the best possible conclusion to this phase of the Mulder story. Sadly, the spoilers from EW and the TV Critics Association suggest that he doesn't think that's an important part of the new season. David Duchovny has helped create a magical and memorable character and I hope he goes on to create many more.

You are from: Virginia Beach, Virginia Referred by: People's Links Comments: Hi. I don't know how much this will help the cause, but I definately feel strongly enough about it to try. To me, Mulder **is** the X-Files and everyone else on the show (sorry, even Scully)is just supporting cast. I do not dispute the fact that everyone else is important to the show, but without Mulder, it's just not going to be the same. I may as well be tuning in to a totally different show on Sunday nights. I was willing to give season 8 a chance, to see how Chris Carter and Co. handled using Mulder for just half a season, but all the comments I've been hearing and reading make it seem like a total disregard for everything that David has done for the show and how respected Mulder is by all the fans. A lot of people that I've been talking to are just going to tune in for the episodes that Mulder is in (and the Alex Krycek episodes) and I'm seriously thinking about doing that myself. I don't mind when a show adds a new character. A lot of times, that person will become a much loved person on the show, but to assume that someone could come in and make us forget about Mulder is a mistake that has upset a lot of people. I understand that David wants to leave the show and try new things and I wish him the best of luck. I will lend my support to anything that he tries. My only complaint is with the way Fox and 1013 are handling Mulder's exit from the show. To me, it seems like Mulder is not going to be treated with the respect that he deserves and that makes me want to see if there are any interesting new shows coming on Sunday nights at 9:00. A faithful fan from the very beginning,I am saddened by the way things have progressed. Sign Time: Sun September 24 2000 |

I have to be honest and say that it was David Duchovny's portrayal of Mulder that was the key factor for my devotion. He was smart, witty, committed, quirky, vulnerable, and immensely appealing.

The show will never be the same again. I'm all for Doggett, I'm not for how Scully is being portrayed right now. If Scully were to go away and Doggett and Mulder as partners, it would be much better. I've always thought that Mulder would work better with other males anyways. As for David Duchovny moving on, I'm all for that and have been since last summer. I'm glad he has the opportunity to do something other than The X-Files. If he doesn't want to be on the show anymore, let him be. If he isn't interested in the job anymore, it will show on camera.

Sure you could still eat it, and it may even fill you up, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as satisfying. For me the show has always been about Mulder. Sure Scully is a great character and I love the chemistry the two had (it kills me to say had instead of have)but the show has always been about Mulder's quest for the truth. For the reasons behind the lies that tore apart his family and threatened the safety of our planet. His undying passion and unwavering determination to find that truth is what made me tune in every week. Compound that with David's magnificent portrayal of the first truly complicated and interesting character on primetime television to come along in a very long time and I was hooked. Now that David is gone and Mulder along with him, I won't be tuning in. It's terrible to hear the rotten things that people involved with the show are saying about the Mulder character. When I saw the cover of the new EW, I wanted to rip it to shreds. I would have preferred a cover with just Robert Patrick. After all, according to the article Scully is supposed to hate him, right? So seeing the two of them all cozy on the cover just set my blood boiling. I'll just content myself watching the first two seasons on DVD and all my tapes of the other episodes. Goodbye David!

You are from: Portland, OR Referred by: Word of Mouth Comments: Thank you for summing up my feeling so well. As a fan of this show for seven long years, CC&Co's comments have often made me wonder how they can be so out of touch with the fans. If they expect philes to follow them through this half-baked season, let alone on to a movie franchise, it seems to me they need to recognize some fundamental truths. This show has always been about the evolution of two things: Mulder's (and eventually Scully's) quest for the truth, and the relationship between Mulder and Scully. The mythology became too convoluted and absurd to care about, great characters like Krycek are largely ignored, and Samantha turned into starlight for crying out loud. What's left? Mulder and Scully. Their journey TOGETHER. If the first half of this season is about biding time till we can get back to that, fine.

You are from: Sydney, Australia Referred by: Word of Mouth Comments: Back in 1994 (in Australia) when this new series started, I thought it would be interesting to watch as I like Sci-Fi shows. But The X-Files was like no other show I have ever seen. This was no average "monster of the week" type program, this was the story of one man's quest to learn the truth - Fox Mulder. He was assigned a skeptic for a partner, who very quickly came to realise that the passion Mulder had went beyond looking for his sister and solving paranormal cases. I have faithfully followed The X-Files for seven years and that is in no small way because of Fox Mulder and particulary because of David Duchovny's wonderful portrayal of him. He is the heart and soul of the whole show, and without him it just won't be the same. I was willing to watch season 8 and the search for Mulder with an open mind, wanting to believe that Mulder's return and final exit from the show would be a highlight, even though I firmly believed that it should have all ended at the end of season 7 and just continued on in a movie franchise. Now I am seriously concerned, after reading comments made by Chris Carter and Gillian Anderson, that Mulder will not get the respect and ending that he deserves. Certainly David Duchovny is now having the contribution he has made for the last seven years cast in a less than flattering light by the recent EW article. If 1013 and FOX want to keep my attention, they are going to have to start showing a lot more respect for the person and character that has made the show the phenomenal success that it's been.

Mulder's passion and intelligence, his sensitivity and strength, his dry humor and his humanity completely drew me in and kept me watching. What a great character and what a wonderful portrayal by David Duchovny who so brilliantly brings Mulder to life. Until recently, I was planning on watching season 8 and was remaining open-minded about the character of John Doggett. Then I read the EW article. The whole tone of the piece -- talk of 'chemistry' 'heat', harping on Doggett's masculinity vs. Mulder's flakiness were offensive to me. Comments by Miss Anderson and Mr. Carter that seemed to dismiss David Duchovny's contributions to the show didn't help matters either. The impression I'm getting is that 1013 believes Mulder is no longer important to the show and now I'm actually worried how 1013 will handle his exit. I certainly don't want the character killed off or disregarded or changed beyond recognition and after reading this piece, I worry about all those scenarios. If I continue to get the impression that Mulder is being replaced and isn't important any longer, I probably won't watch at all. If that isn't the case, and this character gets the respect and send-off he deserves, I'll continue watching. It's as simple as that. Sign Time: Sat September 23 2000 |

| Visitor's name: Heidi You are from: Nashville, Tennessee Referred by: Word of Mouth Comments: I've been watching the XF since early Season 3. Immediately my attention was captured by the intriguing Fox Mulder, his passion, his belief and his faith and trust in his partner. Dana Scully was an equally intriguing character - a scientist like myself, she needed proof. Not a great scientist, but young and passionate in her own beliefs. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson made this show what it was. Their chemistry was not *acted* or *manufactured* - it is one of those things that "just happens". It saddens me greatly to see that 1013, Chris Carter and, most importantly, Gillian Anderson feel that they can so easily re-create what they had. That it *can* be acted. So simply, they seem to dismiss the tremendous contribution that David Duchovny, as Fox Mulder, made to this show and it's past sucesses. Not only is Ms. Anderson not satisfied with her own contribution to the show in the recent past, she also denigrates her co-star of seven years, basically saying that he was only showing up for work. A commentary I strongly disagree with. Mr. Duchovny (as Mulder) has kept me watching when the character of Scully began to leave me cold. Do these sorts of comments by the principals currently involved make me want to continue to watch the show? Of course not. Before the publication of the recent EW issue featuring Ms. Anderson and her new costar (whom I have nothing against and actually feel some pity for), I had every intention of giving the new X-Files a chance. Now, I'm highly doubtful. Based on Ms. Anderson's and Mr. Carter's comments, I fear for Mulder's memory, his passion - his very (fictional)life. And I resent the shoddy treatment both accord to Mr. Duchovny and his considerable talent. Will they end Mulder's life, ridding themselves of Duchovny, now that they've decided he isn't needed? I don't want to watch and find out. Why ruin my memories of a once great show? Sign Time: Sat September 23 2000 |

In my opinion, TPTB should be practically kissing the feet of DD for bothering to come back at all, and I think in the long run the ratings will reflect this; they certainly will as far as I'm concerned, as I have *no* intention of watching a Mulderless episode! Mulder will *never* be forgotten by virtue of the *tremendous* efforts on the part of DD, from episodes apparently missed by the media that stooped to such low levels, the only logical explanation in my opinion as to how we can suddenly and conveniently forget Mulder for the sake of an over-extended lifespan for a wonderful show! And in closing, I would like to thank the creator of this page for being bold enough to create a website to express and address this issue! This approach to publicity is just *wrong* imho, and it's time someone came *right* out and stated it! So again, thank you for being that person to do so! Sign Time: Sat September 23 2000 |

A TV series can't last forever! Sign Time: Sat September 23 2000 |

In fact, he *is* the X-Files, and if he's treated as anything less, Philes will tune out. Mulder doesn't deserve to be denigrated or have his importance played down. If he's misused, abused, or forgotten, Philes will find something else to do on Sunday nights. Mulder is intuitive, intelligent, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor. If 1013 decides to assassinate his character when he returns, I, for one, won't be returning to TXF. Or buying the DVDs, magazines, etc. Sign Time: Sat September 23 2000 |

You are from: Minnesota, USA Referred by: Word of Mouth Comments: Mulder is, and will always be, the pivotal character on the X-Files and regardless of what some people might think -- he is not replaceable! Mulder has become an icon. He stands side-by-side with some of television's and literature's most recognizable characters. Mulder's fate is now in the hands of 1013 and CC, and from the EW article of September 22, it does not look promising. CC and Fox seem to be blind to the fact that Mulder is beloved by a very large portion of the show's fans worldwide. Most will tune out as soon as he is gone. Some will even stop watching the show in reruns if the character of Fox Mulder is assassinated or destroyed in season eight. Why watch if you know that the show's hero is destined to be killed or worse? It will take all of the enjoyment out of watching past episodes. Many of us had hopes of the show continuing into a series of movies -- similar to StarTrek. It now looks impossible unless it stars GA and RP, which I wouldn't pay money to see -- I wouldn't even watch it for free. The show ceases for me the minute Mulder/DD is no longer a part of it.
