Your Comments: | I think the article in EW said quite a lot about Fox and 1013. Loyalty doesn't seem to be a very important attribute for them. We, the faithful fans of this show for the past 7 years, are expected to just forget about Mulder, his quest, and the reason the X Files exists at all. But I would like to tell Fox and 1013 that without Mulder, there *is* no X Files. And without Mulder, I will not watch the show. It's as simple as that. |

Your Comments: | Mulder *is* the X-Files. I don't feel that the show could or should go on without him, and would be extremely disappointed if he comes to a terrible end in Season 8. I've watched the show faithfully since the beginning, and think it's the most brilliant thing on TV. I would hate to see such a gem tarnished. |

Your Comments: | This article states very eloquently how disappointed we all are in the disregard for the loyalty the fans feel for the heart and soul of this cult show... that being the Mulder/Scully dynamic. It is obsurd for TPTB to believe that they can replace it in our minds so quickly no matter how good the actor. They are sorely mistaken because I believe that when Mulder leaves many of us will be right behind him and the show will just peeter out. As GA suggested (and promptly seemed to forget as well)the show deserves to end with the respect it has earned up to this point... Barbara |

Your Comments: | What a great cause, without Mulder there should be no X-Files. Although, I approve of David's desire to move on, I feel the Fox should respect that and the fans by ending the series if he decides against signing for a season nine. I am a Mulderist, pure and simple. Keep up the great work. I have displayed a banner at my site and look forward to checking out other Mulder support sites! Thanks!! |

Your Comments: | As a member of that all important '19 to 49' age group that every sponsor seems to want to attract, and that has supported the X Files through thick and thin, I am dismayed at the current attempt to negate seven wonderful years. I can only hope that reason will win out. I can assure you that if my small effort is any indication, the Mulderless episodes will not be ratings winners, but will fail dismally. Let that be a lesson. It might be a hard one to learn at this late date, but you should have listened to us all these years. To David, thanks for seven and a half wonderful years. To Gillian, thanks for your contribution as well, it's a shame you couldn't stick to your principles. To Chris, you had a great idea. Don't kill it in your greed. And to FOX and Rupert Murdock, maybe if you'd had better programming directors for the last three years, you wouldn't be behind the eight ball with no ratings winners and no decent new programs for the fall. I don't feel sorry for you at all! |

Your Comments: | The recent comments and interview with CC, GA and RP have saddened me greatly. I don't begrudge David's decision to lessen his appearances in the show and I certainly see where they would find it necessary to bring in a new character. What I don't understand is why they find it necessary to belittle David to promote the new season. It's as if they want to forget his part in making this show the success that it is. I was actually fairly optimistic about this coming season in spite of there being less Mulder, until I started seeing the things that are being said in the recent promotion. Now I am very discouraged about the whole thing. Mulder IS the X-Files, there is simply no way around that. |

Your Comments: | Fox Mulder is The X-Files, David Duchovny is Fox Mulder, it's that simple. Without David and the wonderful character he brings to life, "The X-Files" ceases to exist. I won't be watching my favorite TV show every Sunday this season because for at least eleven episodes it will be a pale comparison of the show I truly love. Already FOX, Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson, and Robert Patrick would like us to forget Mulder and David ever existed and expect us to embrace this new version of the show. What they fail to realize is that the more disrespect they show toward Mulder and David the more viewers like me are being insulted. (This wonderful website is proof of that!) They expect us to forget the last seven years and the character (and actor) that made the show successful. It's not going to happen and they better wake up and realize that! I'm not angry that David has chosen to spread his wings and try new things. I'm thrilled for him and look forward to seeing his new projects. At the same time, though, I'll miss seeing my favorite show, character, and actor every week. No Mulder, No Me!!! |

Your Comments: | I support David Duchovny's career decision and I wish that Chris Carter and Fox had decided to make it an opportunity for a special shortened season -- taking the show out on the same high note they set with "Requiem." Instead, they have decided to introduce a new character (hardly necessary when you consider the rich supporting cast that has never gotten their due time on screen) and all their promotion has focused on how the show does not need Mulder to continue. It's wishful thinking and it flies in the face of the wonderful story that 1013 created. Mulder is the center, the heart of the X-Files. His quest, his losses, his sacrifices, his link with Scully -- these things have given the show its soul. Scully's story has paralled his: it loses its balance without Mulder. I will watch Mulder episodes next season, but MOTW episodes without him will not be appointment tv for me. When Mulder leaves the show (and I pray for GA's sake that Scully goes with him), I will too. How I wish that artistry -- and this show, at its best *has* been art -- had won out over finance for Chris Carter and Fox. Jerry Norris |

Your Comments: | OK heres my two cents... Mulder and Scully ARE the X-Files...NOT Scully and Doggett. I dont so much mind that they are bringing in the new guy, what I resent is the implication floating around that he is 'replacing' Mulder. Sorry, that just doesnt fly. If they are hell bent on making a story centering on Scully and Doggett, and without Mulder, then at least have the decency to change the name of the show. Both David and Mulder have put way too much into the Files to be given the cold shoulder. Its been a great show - and I will miss it dearly when its gone, but...let it die with dignity, Chris. It deserves at least that much. And so do the fans. |

Your Comments: | After 7 years of watching the X-Files, I will be doing something this year that I've never done before -- changing the channel on Sunday night. The thing that I have come to love most about the X-Files is the relationship between Mulder and Scully, watching it change and grow. After all of this time, do FOX and 1013 seriously think that I'm going to grow to like some new guy because all that they can see are dollar signs and they don't want to let the show go out gracefully and with dignity... so they'd rather drag it out another year without Mulder? If that is what you're thinking, Fox and 1013, I have news for you -- Mulder and Scully *are* the X-Files for me. Mulder AND Scully. Not Mulder alone. Not Scully alone. And certainly not Doggett, alone or otherwise. Personally, I will not be watching any of the Season 8 episodes at all until I hear whether or not TPTB have come to their senses and decided against a 9th Season with Scully and no Mulder. I cannot invest any more of my time in this show when it appears that the ending we're going to get is going to be disappointing and unsatisfying for those of us who are watching because of Mulder and Scully. In case you haven't figured it out from the 200+ posts that came before mine, NO MULDER = NO X-FILES = NO ME! |

Of course there is a need to move forward with DD not being present for the whole ninth season, but the disrespect towards him and the desire to lessen his impact is not necessary and rather foolhardy.

Your Comments: | I want to say first off that I do plan on watching the show and giving it a chance this coming season. This does not mean however that I am all too happy about the decision to continue the series without DD. An eighth season was bad enough, but a ninth? With no Mulder at all? I just don't understand it. I don't want to tell TPTB what to do, this show is theirs to do what they want with, but I do feel sad and a bit upset. There comes a time when every show has to end. Duchovny realized this before everyone else and I think it was wise of him to bow out. I also think, to all you DD bashers who don't see beyond Gillian Anderson, that it was very generous of him to decide to be in the show at all anymore - especially in light of his recent lawsuit. But, its not going to matter if the whole focus of the show changes. The show is about MULDER and his quest and his relationship with Scully...it always has been and to me, it always will be. It's probably pretty obvious that I'm a little jealous on Mulder's behalf here, but I do feel this way and just thought I'd vent a little - this site seems the perfect place to do so. On a different note...the show has always been my favorite, the writing has more often than not been brilliant, the characters fascinating and the plots enough to make me set aside an hour every Sunday night to watch. So thanks - everyone, and David in particular - for seven great years. We'll miss the X-files we all knew and loved. |

Your Comments: | Based on the recent insulting press regarding season 8, I won't be watching anything except the Mulder episodes. Ms. Anderson's refusal to acknowledge David Duchovny's enormous contribution to the show, while talking up Robert Patrick was a huge turn off. It appears that Chris Carter and Gillian Anderson wish to convince the audience that the character of Fox Mulder is dispensible to the show and we should now be invested in Doggett and his "manly charms." This is a travesty and denigrates the memory of the show I've invested seven years watching. Not only will I not be watching most of season 8 (and I shudder at the possible season 9), if the show doesen't end well, I won't be buying any of the DVD's or supporting any possible film franchise. Fox Mulder is the X-files, and the character and the show should go out with the style and dignity they deserve. |

As to the issue: in all the years of searching, no matter the tangents, setbacks, side roads and detours he took, Fox Mulder never lost sight of his original goal: to find out the truth about his sister's abduction. Please, Fox Network, et. al, no matter how many distractions you may throw at us, never will we lose sight of the fact that Fox Mulder *is* the X-Files--I encourage you to show the same dedication, dignity and courage Mulder has displayed in his work, towards his character and presence on the X-Files--he deserves your utmost care and attention. I'll be watching the X Files for Mulder, and I'll be watching you, too... |

Your Comments: | Thanks for the opportunity to vent. I fell in love with the X-Files in its first season. It wasn't until Season 5 that I became more specifically focused on Mulder rather than the show. I do not think this was an accident. Mulder was always the show. It was his character (a joint creation of Carter, the other writers and Duchovny) that made the show different than any other. Scully as a character is only of interest as she relates to Mulder (I have only watched Mulder-less episodes once). The character has become a cultural icon. Like it or not Fox is the owner of this character and instead of handling his departure with class and sensitivity to the character and what he means they have chosen to pretend that they can just stick in another character and we will blindly watch the show. Mulder as played by Duchovny has carried the show since season 5. As the writing started slipping, the show became more dependent on Mulder's character and what the audience knew about him to carry the show. I was willing to watch the Mulder-less episodes out of loyalty to the show but the EW article has left me angry. It is honestly too painful for me to watch the show without Mulder now. Please use your few episodes remaining with Mulder to treat the character with the dignity he deserves so we can watch the reruns and the DVDs without having them ruined by the destruction of the character. |

Your Comments: | The idea of the X-Files without Mulder is all but incomprehensible. Since the beginning, he has been the heart and soul of the show. His quest for the truth and the humanity, passion and intelligence with which he pursued it made all things possible. I suppose that FOX and 1013 may choose to pretend that he can be easily forgotten. But when they seek (as they seem to be doing) to have us forget, they demonstrate a grave misunderstanding of what has made the show successful thus far. I do not look forward to what they seem to be creating. |

Your Comments: | For me, the X Files is first and foremost Fox Mulder. Period. I don't necessarily mind a new character (I've welcomed and still love Alex Krycek when he was introduced as the new partner!) but the show lives and dies with Mulder. Even worse, David seems to be discarded as if he never mattered. I can't think of anybody else who would've been able to bring this character to life - for me, Mulder is one of the most complex, interesting characters *ever* in TV history; and it's damn well David Duchovny's talent that made Mulder that character. I'll give the next season a try; after all, we X-Philes are "open-minded" and "believe in the extreme". However, if this turns out to be the desaster I somehow expect then there's one less X Phile in this world. Use Mulder wisely. You have a ton of different plot possibilities. Don't screw it up. And if you really think that this show can survive without its heart and soul then *please* have the decency and at least give Mulder the fare-well he deserves. |

Your Comments: | I am a shipper to the core. I believe in that Mulder and Scully belong together and with no one else. I also believe that while Duchovny wants to pursue more movie roles and is tired of the daily grind of a weekly show, the X-Files had to change with his decision to do only half a season but I will no get upset about the upcoming new lead in Robert Patrick. He needs to be given a chance. I also do not believe everything I read or hear. The EW article and video has caused much grief in the X-Files community. The author and interviewer interprets and edits what goes into the video and written article and I want to believe that what was written was taken out of context by the author. The video was from EW was the author's own opinion and I do not believe that of 1013. I will give season 8 and Carter and Co. the benefit of the doubt and watch the Mulder and Mulderless episodes (but I'll admit I know I'll like the Mulder episodes more). I think if season 8 is the last one and they go into the movies (which I believe it probably since the X-Files has been slipping in the rating for the past year or so and will even more so since Mulder is gone, the X-Files fans will be able to rejoice because then Mulder & Scully will be back together (since both Duchovny & Anderson would rather do movies). But should the 8th season go horribly wrong, at least the fans can view seasons 1 - 7 and forget about 8 and remember the great chemistry between Duchovny and Anderson when all was right in the X-Files realm. The X-Files started out about Mulder and his quest and evolved into something more. One of the all time greatest friendship-romance on televsion which could not have been done without the acting talents of Duchovny and Anderson. |

Your Comments: | I did not start watching X-Files until my mom told me to sit down and watch it with her. After one single episode, I was hooked. I got online to read everything I could about it, and then continued to watch re-runs whenever they came on. In a short period of time, I have learned so much. My personal take on this whole Mulder/Doggett issue is simple: Well, Chris Carter told us "Believe to Understand." I still don't believe it, and I can't understand it. Mulder opened the X-Files, and opened our minds to the extreme possibilities. Now that he is gone, abducted, whatever, and Scully has a new partner until Mulder returns, this is not good at all. I respect the fact that Mulder is abducted. That was a good idea on behalf of those at 1013 who thought of it. But, I do have a problem with this Doggett being Scully's new partner. Of course, when Mulder returns (and it had better be ASAP!!!) he will be back with Scully, but RP is signed for 20 episodes!!! I was ready and prepared for the season 7 to be the last. Beautiful idea that they went back to the place where it all started (or the place of their first case I should say) and it was well written, directed, etc. The ending was tear jerking, and that was great. The show would have ended on good terms (except we wouldn't know the father of Scully's child, nor where the hell Mulder went) THEN after Season 7, with Mulder abducted, Scully pregnant, another movie should have taken place, answered questions (of course all the questions that the show poses won't be answered) and gave a final wave to The X-Files, and ended it with pride, dignity, and whatever other good word there is that I can't think of! Now, as Season 8 looms ahead, no Mulder, new partner, the show may die without dignity and the respect that it deserves. Bring Mulder back soon, have him be with Scully, Scully has the child (in the season finale of course) and end the show on a good note. PLEASE??? |

Your Comments: | Please allow The X-Files to exit TV gracefully. Do not let it be unceremomiously cancelled as Fox TV attempts to milk it for every penny it is worth. David Duchovny now has a limited appearance contract, which presents the perfect opportunity to bring some closure to the mytharc and lead-in to future feature films. However, news of a possible Season 9 is disturbing because it seems it will be done without Agent Fox William Mulder. Also disturbing is news that Robert Patrick's character WILL be replacing Mulder as Scully's partner, despite assertions to the contrary just a few months ago. The X-Files are Mulder's story told from Scully's point-of-view. How can you continue to tell HIS story week after week when HE will not be there? I can see this working for this season as David will be making some appearances. Mulder is the heart of The X-Files and Scully is its soul. Therefore, a Season 9 completely without Mulder will be heartless. Do all Philes a favor and bring some closure to this story, then give us some great feature films that continue Mulder and Scully's stories. Do NOT give us The X-Files: The Next Generation. |

Your Comments: | Finally, anything that anyone at 1013 (including the actors) is more often than not completely untrue. Just remember how much denial was going on about a romantic relationship between M&S, yet here we are. I think these articles and quotes are a concerted effort by the press and perhaps by 1013 to keep TXF in the news, to keep people guessing about what will happen next year. What happens on the show itself, IMHO, will be drastically different from what these quotes and articles are implying. I learned a long time ago not to react to these reports, interviews, articles, etc. Unless I have access to a strict transcript from a press conference/ interview, or something that is unedited and uncut, I try not to get too upset with what I see in print, because it's so often horribly distorted. To be honest, I was semi-prepared for this attitude from the press, because I knew that the first thing they would begin pushing is some sort of Doggett-Scully relationship. I've dreaded that far more than the onset of S8, and it looks like what I feared is certainly happening. However, what we hear from the press is only what we're *given* to hear from the press. I will always be a huge supporter of DD and Mulder, and if 1013 does destroy this final year (and no, I don't think there will be a S9), then I will certainly be first in line to express my complete disgust with everyone responsible. But until the season begins, I have to continue to hold out hope that they won't destroy such wonderful characters and such a fantastic show. Sorry to go on so long, but this whole subject is very important to me. If you've read this whole thing, thanks for hearing me out :) -penny *who's missing Mulder badly, and the season hasn't even started yet* |

Your Comments: | It seems as though each day I get more and more saddened by the attitudes being shown in the press towards David Duchovny and his beloved character. While I agree that the article(s) mentioned have some pretty awful quotes, I do wonder about the magazine selecting those quotes. I've seen so often in the past quotes lifted from interviews and taken completely out of context, that I am resisting taking these comments at face-value...well, except for CC's. But then CC just lies through his teath anyway, so I try to ignore him. I think he behaved abominably over the contract renegotiations, and clearly was only saying things to the press to make himself look good. And I couldn't believe he had the gall to say that he didn't even know what he might have done wrong. Give me a break! When I saw his quote that he could have used David more but that he could have used him less, I was appalled. Now to hear his comparison between Mulder and Doggett, I'm furious. I suppose he feels he *has* to make Doggett look incredible in order to make it look like the character will be a success. And it stands to reason that he would do that by putting down the character that will be absent for much of the season. It's a calculated strategy that I hope blows up in CC's face. I could go on and on about my attitude towards CC, but I think I've said enough to make my point ;) However, I am far more inclined to give the others involved the benefit of the doubt. Consider the fact that we don't know what RP may have said that EW *chose* to leave out of their article. For example, how different would it have sounded if his response had begun with a statement of respect for the Mulder/Scully relationship, as well as the characters themselves, before mentioning the fact that he and GA do have a chemistry on-screen. Chemistry does not necessarily mean that even he believes they should pursue some sort of romance between Doggett and Scully. Continued next message |

Your Comments: | Shame, shame, shame on GA, RP and CC for their thoughtless, clueless and incomprehensible comments in several recent interviews. If they honestly believe that this is some kind of clever PR campaign that will make people want to watch Season 8, they are crazy and/or delusional. The irreplaceable presence and charisma of David Duchovny is the ONLY and I mean ONLY thing that kept me watching through the very mediocre Season 7. Incredibly, after 7 long years, he has kept the character of Fox Mulder fresh and fascinating and layered and intriguing while, sadly, at the same time the character of Dana Scully has become more and more one dimensional and, dare I say it, boring. (Except, ironically, in the episodes DD wrote) Why should I watch something that bores me? Well, I won't. That's the bottom line. I get the feeling that there are certain fans CC considers dispensable and I guess I'm one of them. So, what am I going to do about Season 8? I will spoil myself silly and find out exactly when DD is going to be on and watch those episodes only. I will watch those episodes because of my gratitude to David for his wonderful portrayal of the character I just adore. I'm also grateful that he was willing to come back, even if it was only part time, to give Fox Mulder and the show a chance to go out in style. Please, I beg of you CC, open your eyes. End the show after this season. Let your babies - Mulder and Scully - go out in a blaze of glory. But, if you find you just can't bring yourself to let go, then please at least send off Fox Mulder with dignity and honor. He deserves it and so do we. Then if you decide to commit career suicide by continuing on with a Mulder-less X-Files be my guest. At least then I won't have to watch. Good luck David in all your future endeavors. I will be watching. |

Your Comments: | I agree with everything expressed in the front page. Since ending this show with dignity isn't in Carter's and Fox's plans, at least do fans a favor and give Mulder a dignified exit of the show. CC's comments since may have make me extremelly nervous about the Mulder's future. There is only a thing I would want to ask CC: Prove our fear unfounded and let us keep good memories of this show. |

Your Comments: | Mulder and Scully are not just lead characters in a popular show, over the years they have become cultural icons. I just can't imagine breaking that partnership in any way, shape, or form. Chris just better think about what he's doing and "Dog"ett better keep his paws off Scully. As much as I would have missed it, the show should have really ended with last season and gone out with a little dignity. And at the least, this should be the final season. I don't want any waiting around until the last minute like last year either. I think that the show deserves a proper send-off. But the wonderful people at Fox and 1013 won't let that happen. They are going to squeeze every last cent out of their big money-maker, even at the expense of a little dignity. |

Your Comments: | Fox should have let the show wrap with an appropriate closing at the end of Season 7. There would be no chance of a successful Season 8 if David had not agreed to return in some capacity. To respond to that agreement by trying to sweep Mulder under the rug and pretend the X Files division can be the same without him is ludicrous. I was also astonished to read that Gillian had agreed to a Season 9 contract, perpetuating this farce of Scully and someone else running the X Files. Give Mulder closure; let the show have a dignified conclusion. Finish it with Season 8, and allow the possibility for Mulder/Scully movies. David Duchovny's portrayal of Mulder is a gem--one of the most interesting, unique characters in television history. I congratulate him, thank him, and will miss him. |

Your Comments: | The X Files was built on Mulder's story - any X Files without him is a farce. Or at least a different show. I will not watch a Mulder-less X Files. The show has already lost most f it's weight, it's depth, and it's strength due to over doing the comedy eps the last two years, plus, the stories have gotten stale and un-interesting. But no Mulder?? It's just wrong. There can be no X Files without Mulder. |

Your Comments: | From the very beginning, Fox Mulder has been the central thread of the X-Files. It was *his* department, his quest, his need, his obssession. It became Scully's and Skinner's only because they became entangled in his orbit. It is, indeed, all about *him*. Without Mulder's admittedly and blessedly flakey presence, the show will be different. The delicate balance between Mulder and Scully - his beliefs, her rationality, his intuition, her analysis - their virtual switching of the male/female dynamic - all this will be lost if the new character is as they describe. If he is more macho, I am very much afraid that in order to rebalance things, Scully will be made weaker, more dependent, less rational - more stereotypically "feminine." And this will be almost as great a loss as the loss of Mulder. Mulder is the center of the X-Files, but the real back bone is the partnership - a true working relationship and a deep and abiding friendship. I don't want to lose that, either. Debra Fran Baker |

Your Comments: | I watch The X Files for the great stories and the Mulder/Scully dynamic. I wasn't keen when I first heard rumours of a possible Season 8, but when I saw "Requiem" I became more enthusiastic. But now ... well, no harm to Robert Patrick who I am sure is a great actor, but I'm not interested in a possible new partner for Scully, and I'm certainly not happy about Mulder being quietly shuffled off the show via the back door. I shall be watching upcoming events with curiosity, but believe me - if I see or hear of something I don't like, I won't be tuning in when it finally reaches the UK. The X Files *is* Mulder and Scully. Nothing else is acceptable, I'm afraid. |

Your Comments: | I think this campaign is as much a wonderful idea as The X-Files without Mulder is a bad one. There should be no X-Files without Mulder - it's HIS life we've been following, both in the present and into the past; if he has no future then neither does the show. We must have closure to Fox's story in a fitting and dignified manner. To brush this character to one side as if he were of no consequence would be a terrible thing to do. I SAY, 'GIVE FOX AND HIS FILES THE ENDING THEY DESERVE.' |

Your Comments: | I did not start watching X-Files until my mom told me to sit down and watch it with her. After one single episode, I was hooked. I got online to read everything I could about it, and then continued to watch re-runs whenever they came on. In a short period of time, I have learned so much. My personal take on this whole Mulder/Doggett issue is simple: Well, Chris Carter told us "Believe to Understand." I still don't believe it, and I can't understand it. Mulder opened the X-Files, and opened our minds to the extreme possibilities. Now that he is gone, abducted, whatever, and Scully has a new partner until Mulder returns, this is not good at all. I respect the fact that Mulder is abducted. That was a good idea on behalf of those at 1013 who thought of it. But, I do have a problem with this Doggett being Scully's new partner. Of course, when Mulder returns (and it had better be ASAP!!!) he will be back with Scully, but RP is signed for 20 episodes!!! I was ready and prepared for the season 7 to be the last. Beautiful idea that they went back to the place where it all started (or the place of their first case I should say) and it was well written, directed, etc. The ending was tear jerking, and that was great. The show would have ended on good terms (except we wouldn't know the father of Scully's child, nor where the hell Mulder went) THEN after Season 7, with Mulder abducted, Scully pregnant, another movie should have taken place, answered questions (of course all the questions that the show poses won't be answered) and gave a final wave to The X-Files, and ended it with pride, dignity, and whatever other good word there is that I can't think of! Now, as Season 8 looms ahead, no Mulder, new partner, the show may die without dignity and the respect that it deserves. Bring Mulder back soon, have him be with Scully, Scully has the child (in the season finale of course) and end the show on a good note. PLEASE??? (sorry this is so damn long!) |

Your Comments: | I don't think that I could express my feelings any more eloquently than has Monica Duff on one of the first pages of this website. As she says, it is like David Duchovny/Fox Mulder was some minor, supporting character who was cast to pop on and off the show in various episodes throughout its so-far 7-year run and then suddenly written out at the end of this past season. Therefore, to l0l3 Produc- tions and TPTB at Fox, let me make a long story short-----PLEASE, PLEASE RESPECT THE HIGHLY DEVOTED FAN BASE THAT HAS BUILT UP FOR THIS SHOW FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS AND ONE MOVIE AND, ULTIMATELY, REVERE ONE OF THE BEST FICTIONAL TV CHARACTERS EVER DEVELOPED AND THE ACTOR WHO HAS WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE MULDER THE ONE-OF-A-KIND PER- SONA THAT HE IS BY BRINGING HIM (BOTH THE ACTOR AND THE MAN WHO PORTRAYS HIM) THE ENDING DIGNITY AND RESPECT HE DESERVES. COME ON BOYS AND GIRLS------KEEP MULDER SAFE, BRING HIM HOME, UNITE HIM WITH HIS TRULY BELOVED SCULLY, INTRODUCE HIM TO HIS NEW-BORN CHILD AND SEND ALL OF THEM OFF IN A CLEAR-CUT AND LOVING WAY. IT IS THE LEAST THAT YOU CAN DO FOR THE MILLIONS OF FANS WORLDWIDE WHO HAVE INVESTED THEIR TIME AND ATTENTION IN THE X-FILES, BOUGHT THE PUBLICATIONS AND PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT------AND WHO HAVE GIVEN YOU THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFIT WHICH IT HAS GENERATED. JUST FOR ONCE, BE DIFF- ERENT FROM THE WAY OTHER SHOWS HAVE TREATED THEIR FANS AND CERTAIN CHARACTERS OF THEIR SHOWS AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!! |

Your Comments: | David Duchovny has made Fox Mulder the most unique character on television. I have been watching the x-files ever since the very first episode. While I enjoy the stories, Fox Mulder has made me a real fan. David's charisma is outstanding. Now I watch to see how the character of Fox Mulder is going to react in the story. That is the most interesting part of the show. When Mulder leaves the show I will grieve just like the death of a dear friend. I will leave the show also. It will be too painful to watch the show without Fox Mulder. |

I'll probably tape the show and watch it when I've got nothing better to do. Without Mulder, I can't see there being any intelligent humor on the show. Scully just doesn't have it. |

Your Comments: | I recently became an x-files fan, and I honestly think that it is one of the best shows ever to grace the small screen. That level of quality is in direct relation to the dedication and talent of the two lead characters. Fox Mulder needs to exit the show in a dignified manner, and one that will not leave fans wondering endlessly. I have read, and I hope that 1013 and Fox have the good sense to make it a reality, that more X-Files movies are in the future. There wouldn't be any point in making them if they didn't include David Duchovny. TPTB should keep their eyes to the future and realize that a satisfactory exit for Mulder will both satisfy the fans and any plans they may have to keep the X-Files machine going. David Duchovny IS Fox Mulder and any big screen attempt that does not include his is bound for failure. (Of course the same is true of Gillian Anderson, but that's not what we're talking about at this time.) |

Your Comments: | I am a married mother of two with plenty of disposable income..in short, an advertisers dream. I am cautiously optimistic about season 8 because I am hoping Mulder will be the focus and that DD will be present. However, I already have little interest in watching the shows without Mulder, esp. if the spoilers leaking out are anywhere near on target. It's easy for me...No Mulder, and I learn to watch Millionaire with the rest of the country. And please, let this be the last season. I don't think the show can stretch that far, and if you can't get DD on board, I wouldn't even bother. Though I'm sure it's a moot point..I doubt the ratings this upcoming season will even make it a concern. The show has always been about Mulder and Scully...so again, No Mulder, no show. |

I've survived a few office politcs hissy-fits myself...and not completely unscarred...so I'm not especially surprised at the direction the Season 8 PR propaganda has taken, nor at Gillian Anderson's bit of CYA (she likes her job and wants to keep it; totally understandible). Doesn't mean I have to like it. |

Your Comments: | Lets face it, the show is no longer about the x files, its about the FBI agents that inverstigate them. The relationship Mulder and Scully have built over the last seven years cannot be replaced easily. If David Duchovny wants to leave he should, but 1013 should not drag the show out for longer than is possible. I know they are trying to make the best of Mulder leaving, I just don't agree with how its being done. |

Your Comments: | I miss Mulder and I will miss the X-files. A part of my life will be missing in the fall. For the first time in 7 years, I am not looking forward to the opening episode of the show. I don't want to see or hear the opening credits - David Duchovny is gone, and the heart of the show has been cut out. I say Duchovny is gone, because despite his scheduled appearances, he has been replaced. His co-star was quoted in Entertainment Weekly as saying that she welcomed the change a new character would bring to the show. She implied that she found working with Duchovny boring. Chris Carter has lied about "the replacement/non-replacment" for months. I don't like these people anymore. I don't care about their characters. I have no interest in "the replacement" - a bad character actor who is now being praised by Carter as the second coming of Lord Olivier. David Duchovny's Fox Mulder is the beginning and the end of The X-files. Unless he is on the screen, I'm not watching. I agree with everything written in the statement of this website. I wish I wrote as well as the author. I hope I've made myself clear - No Mulder, No Me. Carol |
