Your Comments: I think this is a great idea and you have my full support. I will not be watching XF without Mulder and I haven't the slightest scrap of interest in Doggett at all. I think it's appalling that DD's wonderful contribution to the success of this show should have been summarily dismissed as if it counted for nothing, and I have to say I've no time for Chris Carter, Fox et al. I would urge *all* Mulder fans to sign this book and show your support for this fantastic character.

Your Comments: The X-Files are Mulder and Scully. No x-files without them. I don't like Doggett if he's going to be Mulder's substitute. There's no substitute for him and I won't keep watching the series if Mulder disappears definitely. Without Mulder I'm an ex-phile

Your Comments: My feelings towards the news that David would be participating in few of the episodes in the upcoming series of the X-files took were both contrasting and turbulent. I felt for David's situation - surely it must have been a difficult decision to make, whether to disappoint many of the fans who were instrumental in his success, or to devote more time to his family and allow for the next stage in the evolution of his career. I also felt that there had been a gradual decline in the quality of the series, which although still excellent viewing, I believed had begun to be 'drawn out' for too long, and belied David and Gillian's reluctance to continue with the series. For this I was glad of some form of completion. I was disappointed that I would soon never be witness to the remarkable chemistry between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This I came to accept. Now my feeling turn towards anger at the disregard for both the fans of the series and, David's outstanding work in the series as both writer and actor, and the betrayal of one of the most beautifully haunting characters ever created for television - Fox Mulder. A friend of mine recently travelled to America and brought back with her a copy of "Entertainment Weekly", and although I am yet to have a chance to read it, I am devestated to hear of its contents. Although I will continue to watch the X-philes in the near future, 1013's treatment of Mulder's departure has been devestating, and the attitude they take towards this in the future will be paramount in my decision, as I believe it will be with many others, whether or not to continue my support of the series.

Your Comments: I think this is a wonderful idea and long overdue; there has been far too little support for Mulder and the fantastic contribution David Duchovny has made to this show. I wish it had finished at the end of the last season, with Mulder and Scully still the main characters, and with David being remembered for his brilliant work. As it is, I shall only be watching those episodes with Mulder and I couldn't care less about Doggett, quite frankly. You have my unreserved support - I hope it does some good.

Your Comments: I think that Season 8 should be about finding Mulder & what happens between Mulder & Scully when they get him back, then if David's not going to do any of Season 9 then because of the Baby they should have the two of them either move to a different department in the FBI or leave & get jobs elsewhere. Which would leave the X-Files open for the new guy plus a new partner. If Gillian is still in it then Scully could perhaps still do any Autopsy that came up with suggestions on how to proceed. It will ruin it if Mulder & Scully do not end up together, Mulder wouldn't want to loose either Scully or the baby. Keep up the good work. Sue ~~~

Your Comments: What drew me to "The X Files" were the intriguing weekly adventures of the characters of Agents Mulder and Scully investigating the unknown and the interpersonal relationship of these two specific characters. That was the core concept of the show, to me. That is what I have invested my entertainment viewing time watching for the past 7 years. I have read recent articles and quotes trying to tell me that the show I invested the last 7 years of my attention to was so inconsequential that any revamping of the series format or changing of characters would be unquestionably acceptable. The success of the talented Ten Thirteen production staff, writers and directors over the years has made it impossible for me to just dismiss and forget the very foundation of what this show has always been about. If the recent ill conceived publicity campaign wasn't enough to turn me off, the season premiere was the final nail in the coffin. After watching the 2-part premiere I have come to realize that David Duchovny was too successful in bringing to life the humanity, style, grace, charm, and sense of wonder that epitomized the character of Fox Mulder, and in doing so, infused the series itself with those same qualities. I had become spoiled and didn't know it. Now that I do, I know that I am not willing to settle for a poor substitute in the guise of the "Scully Show," or the "Doggett Show," or the "Scully and Doggett" show. '' Such a shame that a once unique program has become nothing more than a creatively bastardized and dime-a-dozen cop show that just happens to have monsters instead of criminals, and only exists for the benefit of the FOX Network's bank account

Your Comments: I'm crying now as I write this, and I'm not embarassed to say so. We haven't even seen season 7 here yet, it just started two weeks ago, and knowing where it's all going is making it just too painful to watch. I can't believe directors and producers can be so selfish, I mean, we all know they invented the damn show and applaud their brilliance, but don't they owe us anything for having devoted vast periods of our lives to it? Guess not. I should have studied for exams instead of watching cliffhangers after all. All I can say is, thank God I've got a good imagination, because I won't be watching once Mulder goes. I'll be inventing my own conclusion to the show, based on where it was really going ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE (ie the existing episodes!!!)

Your Comments: Mulder is the main reason I began to watch the X-Files in season 1. If not for the partnership of Mulder and Scully I dont think I could watch it. I cringe at the idea of replacing David Duchovny as Mulder. I plead to give Mulder a respectful exit just dont replace David. I also hate to say this but I loathe John Doggett and there is no way you can replace Mulder with a new character.

Your Comments: As a fan from England, I have not yet seen the X files without Mulder in it, and dont actually want to. It isnt the fact that I watched it solely for this character, but without him,it is not the X Files, and im sure everyone agrees! Mulder was funny, flirty, tortured, a pure genious. Mulder WAS the x files, cos lets face it, Scully almost always took a back seat! Movies, fine....but to carry on the series is suicide for the show.....!

Your Comments: Having lurked around this site for a while, and naturally, having read the guestbook, i find it odd, yet comforting, that take the X-files seriously....serious enough to make known our concerns about mulder's demise, about the course of the show, and the introduction of a new character....i suppose what hit me the hardest during the season premier, was seeing doggetts id card in the opener....i feel the show was a good one...much like how the show used to be...and patrick did a good job....but there have been others on the show that do a good job, and for a longer time, and you don't see them in the opening....i felt as if carter slapped duchovny, and all of his fans, in the face with the addition of that card!... but i wish i could beseech carter to change his methods..and give back to the viewers, the fans, what we've given to him all these years...LOYALTY....he made us watch...we believed.... we know all good things must come to an end...and we can ready ourselves for that finale if we know it died a dignified death... plus, we want movies!

Your Comments: Part III (see Part I and Part II below) Scully, on the other hand, desperately wanted *not* to believe. Everything in her life, every choice that she had made to get where she was, was vested in the opposite of what Mulder believed. Coming from what we've been led to believe is a very religious upbringing, the things that Mulder believes would be absolute anathema to those ideas. On top of that, she made choices to go into the sciences and law enforcement--choices that caused her to question whether her father was proud of her and lose a lover with whom she once considered spending the rest of her life. If Mulder's beliefs were correct, then her science wasn't. And if he were correct, her choice of law enforcement was hopeless because there was almost certainly nothing she and Mulder could do in the face of everything against them. Every important choice in her life depended on Mulder being wrong and realizing that fact about Scully was what allowed me to buy into the fact that she remained a solid skeptic for seven years. Given all that she has seen, Scully's skepticism should have been completely blasted away by the time she was returned from her abduction, at least from the viewer's standpoint. But knowing what we know about Scully, we could understand and even empathize with her need to hold onto that skepticism. Lida, the ghost in the Christmas X-File, was wrong about Scully deriving joy from proving Mulder wrong. It wasn't joy at all, but self-preservation because if Mulder was right, then the entire life she'd built for herself was wrong. For Mulder and Scully, believer and skeptic were not just the roles they played, they were the sustaining forces in their lives. That was the magic element they brought through in their partnership and what made the X-Files truly unique. Now we're moving forward with Scully moved into the role of "reluctant believer" and Doggett bringing in the element of skepticism. Scully doesn't *want* to believe--belief doesn't bring her any joy or wonder. She doesn't believe because she chose to believe, but because she didn't have a choice. Doggett's skepticism isn't because of any need to prove anything wrong. He's a skeptic because any "normal" person would be skeptical. It isn't invested in anything deep or meaningful in a profound way. No joy in the belief and no investment in the skepticism. What it boils down to, for me, is that I grieve the loss of the joy. I want stories that are driven by wonder. I want to come away knowing that they're right to keep doing this instead of crazy for beating their heads against a wall. I keep envisioning a ninth season with Scully and Doggett sitting in the basement waiting for cases to come their way. How many X-Files has Scully ever initiated and how many, do you imagine, were things that Mulder just dug up because he wanted Scully to help him play with them? Neither Scully nor Doggett want to believe and making either of them into people who *do* want to believe would be contrived beyond all imagining for me. And even before that, I'm afraid for what TPTB will try to do to make Mulder less significant. I know it's been said that the premiere will plainly give us Scully painfully missing Mulder and desperately trying to find him. I know we've been told that Mulder will be the "absent center" of the season. But immediately following the premiere we have a whole string of MOTWs and there have been rumors of "tender Mulder moments" interspersed here and there. But how long before the "tender Mulder moments" disintegrate into "obligatory Mulder mentions" and how long after that do they become too much of a hassle to include in a script. How long before the MSR goes back to being a figment of our imaginations? It's seeming to happen already, although I'm willing to read the spoilers with a mind toward the fact that things often look different on screen than on paper. So that's what I'm worried about. And I hope I've shed some light on what I and other people are upset about. I'm not one of those who has chosen not to watch the premiere or the Mulderless episodes. I will watch and I will tape season eight, just as I've done every season. And I will make every attempt to view with openness. But I can't say that I will do it with joy or anticipation, as I always have in the past. I sincerely hope that my fears and anxieties are unfounded and I will acknowledge it with gratitude if they are.

Your Comments: Part II (see Part I below) But Scully is not the source of the show's joy and wonder--the elements that made the X-Files succeed where other shows have failed. Now I know that I will get dissenters on this statement but, again, these are my feelings and you don't have to share them. Fox Mulder--in the hands of this show's incredible writers and directors and in what David Duchovny's own unique talents have brought to this character--is quite possibly the most remarkable character ever brought to network television. Given what we know of this man (and we have been given a much richer wealth of backstory on him than is usually presented for a tv character) and all that has happened in his life, he should be a bitter, dejected shell of a man, if not completely emotionally dysfunctional. His entire life, from childhood on, has been totally and cruelly manipulated by very real, although unseeable, forces that no one but him believes are there--complete with the bitter irony that the sheer ubelieveability of the plot is what has allowed it to go on, unchecked, for over fifty years. That, along with a driving, realistically hopeless need to find his sister and "fix" his family should have resulted in a man virtually unable to cope with what his life is. Instead, it resulted in Fox Mulder. Now, I've seen statements where he has been described as the "most morose person on television." When I read statements like that, I know that whoever has uttered them has not seen what there is of this character. He is pensive, he is driven, sometimes weak, gult-ridden and at times completely self-absorbed, but at the same time he is compassionate, loyal to a fault, loving, strong, and brighter than almost everyone around him--except Scully, whom he knows is his intellectual equal and that's one of the many things he loves about her. Believe it or not, it's difficult for a person to be significantly brighter than their peers and I would bet that Mulder had to face that his entire life. But also inherent in Fox Mulder are a joy and wonder that must be boundless to have sustained him as a functioning human being. And in the midst of the horror that his life should have been, given the circumstances, Mulder was able to find his passion--investigating the strange and phenomenal--and a companion of the heart and mind to share it with him! Mulder loved his work, pure and simple. Sure, he went into it as a means of trying to garner information that might lead him to his sister, but along the way (and I bet not too far into it) it became what held his mind, stirred his curiosity, and captured his imagination. Mulder *wanted* to believe, found joy and hope in extreme possibilities. The idea of flukemen and mothmen and appliances gone bad filled him with wonder. And it was his hope and joy that made me want to believe and his wonder that made me want to wonder.

Your Comments: Part I Please excuse the very long post, but these are thoughts that have been swirling around in my mind and heart for a long time now. I am a Mulderist. That's it, plain and simple. My primary reason for watching the X-Files has always been Mulder and, by extension, the MSR. (I'm a full-on shipper, too, so to me the "R" is definitely ROMANCE.) I suppose that posting my concerns on a message board in the hopes of influencing invisible and probably uncaring "higher powers" is ill-advised. But even if itis, these are still my feelings and, ultimately, I'm the one who has to live with them. I've seen the question asked here dozens of times: "How can you be so negative about something you haven't even seen?" The question has been asked mostly in regard to the introduction of the Doggett character but, for me, I don't think that's where the negativity--if that's what it should be called--comes from the introduction of Doggett, as such, but more from the overall future direction of the show. Please don't jump in and tell me that DD chose not to participate fully in the show and that CC and Co. are doing what they have to do to continue. I know that and my feelings aren't about placing blame. I truly believe that I don't blame anyone in this scenario. But not placing blame doesn't mean that I don't have what are, for me, real apprehensions. And I think that many of the people have the same apprehensions but have been made to feel that since they are not positive and enthusiastic about what's to come, their apprehensions and concerns aren't valid to those who have chosen to be positive and enthusiastic. I realize that it's hard to be sympathetic to many of those expressing knee-jerk reactions to the situation at hand, but I think it's important to remember that those reactions come from fear--fear of something bad happening to something that matters deeply to all of us. There has been much talk on many discussion boards, and by CC himself, that this situation can be viewed as a way of bringing the X-Files back to its roots and telling darker, scarier stories. For me, there are many inherent flaws to that line of reasoning. Over seven years, the X-Files has gone from a seedling to a magnificent vine with shoots going out in many directions. The problem is, when you cut a plant back to its roots, it dies. Real progress is never made in going backwards and one of my many concerns is that going backwards and recreating something that didn't need recreating will denigrate all that it has been and all that makes it what it is--to me and, I think, to many others. Another flaw to the reasoning is the fact that, in going back to its roots, they don't have a very essential element to what made the X-Files work where many of the other shows that tried to tell us "darker, scarier stories" have failed. On the surface, and maybe even in CC's mind, he gave us the story of two people--a skeptic and a believer--going at strange phenomena in different ways in search of an answer. And, therefore, in CC's mind and perhaps in the minds of other people, if Scully now believes and Doggett is the skeptic, the plan can move along successfully as before, especially if he can convince the audience that Scully's route to becoming the believer is plausible and true. But I think what's not been considered here, what has made the ongoing story buyable--at least for me--is not the believer/skeptic thing so much as the combination of Mulder and Scully. Mulder is not just a believer--he *wants* desperately to believe. Scully has not been just a skeptic--for all these years she has wanted desperately *not* to believe. And that is where the power comes into the telling of their stories. And not just power but, strangely, joy. CC's initial concept of "dark, scary stories" has grown into something infinitely richer than that. Think about the scope of the stories we have been given and, on a surface level, all of the things that have happened over the course of the years should have caused in its audience some kind of feeling of desperation and hopelessness. Two characters, who have become real and very beloved to us, rarely win in their ongoing struggles against seemingly unstoppable forces. But I, for one, have never (until now) had that feeling from the X-Files. I've come away from this experience with a sense of joy and wonder at the resilience of the human spirit and those feelings have come from one source--the character of Fox Mulder. Please don't misinterpret this sentiment and feel that it is a dismissal of the importance of Dana Scully because that is not my intention and is the furthest thing from my mind because she is vital to the story they've told us and vital to Mulder, as we all have seen and as Mulder, himself, knows.

Your Comments: Mulder has always been The "X-Files". The main reason i ever watched(besides the paranormal activities-gotta love it!)from the pilot episode in sept. 93'-present day. He's the heart and soul completely along with the shady characters like the great Krycek and CSM etc. They had better have a great exit for Mulder after all the show's success cuz of him mainly. Btw David don't blame u for leaving cuz season 7 was horrendous to put it bluntly. But "Requiem" kinda redeemed the whole routine year. But this year is gonna be fun and creative i think and hope,even though he only wanted to do half or less. It'll be odd without Mulder doing his thing,and too much Scully..damn that's bad. But when he's around i think it'll be good of course cuz he ain't gonna be the same in my mind with what's happened to him. There's all sorts of capabilities and Doggett's fine to me but of course noone could even attempt to replace Mulder cuz he's the reason the show is what it is if u ask me. Peace David and good luck.

Your Comments: Like many fans, I look at the coming season with an odd mixture of longing and despair. I want the show to continue, but I am upset--- and angry--- that they are A) doing the show with a limited amount of air time for David Duchovny, and B)continuing to do the show without him Like many people, I held the believe that last season would by The X-Files farewell.Almost every aspect of the show had been dealt with and I thought it was time to finish. Indeed 'Requiem' had all the earmarks of series finale. The coming season has enraged me on several counts. 1) Chris Carter's change in attitude from 'I can't do the show without David' to 'By the end of season, people will hardly notice Mulder's gone and by the way I'm considering doing a Season 9' How much money did they throw at You, Chris? 2) The shabby treatment of Gillian Anderson. Earlier she made it clear that she wanted to leave the show as well. Now in order to fill out her contract which forces her to possibly do another season if she wanted to do an 8th. (And by the way, what genius at FOX overlooked signing Duchovny and Anderson to simultaneous contracts. 3)The elimination of almost every additional supporting Character, save for Krycek,Corruvibas, Skinner, and Kersh (Cancer Man is most likely gone,and we all know the world The Lone Gunmen are entering) I won't keep dwelling on this(otherwise thsi will be the longest E-MAIL in history) but I will say I hope that all MULDER fans will join me in protesting not only the shabby treatment of Duchovny,but its unnecessary exstenstion of a once great series.

Your Comments: I do not care to watch the "X Files" with out Mulder. He IS the X Files; with strong support of Scully. As much as I care about the show and some of the other characters i.e. Skinner, cancer man, and the lone gunmen, I could stand loosing any one of them, BUT NOT Mulder OR Skully. Take either away, and you simply have another science fantasy show. I hope David returns, or I will watch all the episodes I have taped over the years.

Your Comments: I believe Robert Patrick should be given a chance to develop his character. If David Duchoveny decides to not sign for Season 9, then I believe the program should stay in character. He should be allowed to depart with dignity. There are many ways this could be done without killing him off, degrading his character, etc. He could chose to go with the aliens, he could chose to go another route without Scully. By leaving his character the dignity the show has shown him, the X-Files will continue with dignity and respect. If those who only watch because of a potential Scully-Mulder romance no longer tune in, then they have missed the point of the X-Files. It will find a new fan base, but can only do so if Mulder, Scully, Skinner and Doggett are treated with respect and treated true to their characters.

Your Comments: Dear Mr. Carter, For 7 years, I have invested my television viewing time in a quirky, unique, and engrossing program called "The X Files It was the only television program I watched on a regular basis. Now, according to your press campaign, the series is being changed into something I do not recognize. A change that I am totally not interested in. What drew me to "The X Files" were the intriguing weekly adventures of the characters of Agents Mulder and Scully investigating the unknown and the interpersonal relationship of these two specific characters. Period. That was the core concept of the show, to me. *That* was "The X Files." *That* is what I have invested my entertainment viewing time watching for the past 7 years. Now, through this press campaign, you ask me to embrace a new show that still has the same name but is unrecognizable. You ask me, through the press, to accept a new character, as a replacement for the key lead player of the entire series; a character that the whole series is based on; the character of Fox Mulder. No thank-you. You might as well give this "re-invigorated" show a new name while you’re at it. How about “The Phony Files.” No matter how much you try to make me think that the pop culture television icon character of Fox Mulder is inconsequential to the series, or try to devalue and denigrate said character for a new one, it won't matter. You can try to ram a new character that is a throwback to an old John Wayne movie down my throat; it will be of little concern to me. I am not interested in any further shouting to the world that the character of Fox Mulder and the actor who plays him, Mr. Duchovny, is inconsequential/replaceable and easily forgettable to the series and that I'm suddenly supposed to swallow the spin doctoring of "please embrace our new re-invigorated, re-energized show,” or "true fans will give it a chance." If the publicity wasn't enough to turn me off, the season premiere was the final nail in the coffin. It is clear to me that "The X Files" has become it's own X File. It's a zombie. It walks. It talks, but the soul is gone. It walked out the door with Mr. Duchovny. It proved to me that I am not interested in the "Scully Show," or the "Doggett Show," or the "Scully and Doggett" show. That is not "The X Files," and never will be to me. Such a shame that a once unique program has devolved into bastardized and dime-a-dozen cop show that just happens to have aliens. A program bereft of style, wit, charm and intelligence, only there for the benefit of the FOX network's bank account.

Your Comments: It was pretty painful watching the premiere last night - and not just for poor Mulder's sake. (What was WITH that? They're turning sadistic!) I miss our guy already. How am I going to feel when the two-parter ends and its just GA and RP? Neither of them hold half of the interest for me that DD alone held. I felt like I was watching a different show. I'm crossing my fingers that they end the series this year - Xphiles for Mulder, Preserve the Partnership, whatever - I just can't stand watching The X-files without Mulder.

Your Comments: just over an hour til the season opener begins...i find myself becoming more and more nervous...will carter and duchovny come to an understanding?...without the wit and intelligence of mulder, there is no x-files...and for carter to think that we could just dismiss mulder, not to mention his deep, deep love for scully, and think we can could just accept someone in his place....~that~ would be para normal! dd--i know you're out there...

Your Comments: While I agree that eight years is a long time to be working on any serious project, it seems that FOX is awfully eager to just shove Duchovny's contribution of seven years on the show AND a feature film right in the shredder. I respect anybody's desire to walk away from something they've put so much time and effort into, but don't ignore their contribution once they've made their decision. That's just being a sour lemon about somebody else being mature about the situation.

Your Comments: I looked upon the exit of David Duchovny's character, Fox Mulder, with regret and sadness, but with the understanding of a friend: the understanding of an X-Phile. I was ready to (warily I'll admit)accept a new agent. Then I heard the comments on E! and read EW. I was disgusted, indignant, and I must admit a bit hurt. If we turn our minds back to the first episode I'm sure you can recall being taken in by those soulful, intelligent, hazel eyes and leaning those extra few inches to listen to our hero's quest and tragic past. Some say to me it's just television: but to X-Philes everywhere the show and it's characters have become a comfort and a friend and more. To here the show's and magazine's comments cast our comrade, Fox Mulder, aside is essentially to be cast aside ourselves. And that in part, ladies & gentlemen, is what bothers us so much. Besides that insult to fans everywhere comes the insult to our knight in shining armour, Our Camelot. David Duchovny has received every sort of insult except a spit in the face! To say the fans of the X-Files will be wishing Mulder gone? Insane! Impossible! *And again I say to you...* Horribly insulting to not just us but David and his devoted acting, Gillian and her portrayal of her character, and the intelligent and witty show in itself! Open-minded? I was until the day Chris Carter, 1013, and company decided to destroy my Camelot in front of my eyes. I will admit that tears ran down my face when David began the "beginning of the end" in Season 7's finale. Now any tears from that fall from my eyes will be for those who find pleasure in ripping his character apart in front of millions of fans. I am flabbergasted with the attitude & comments towards David Duchovny. Once you had my devotion; now you have only eaned my disgust. I leave you with that and plead with you to join the noble quest of these fans. Goodnight. ~Kat

It just doesn't make any sense. You can still call it the X-Files, but a title is only a title...I mean, it wouldn't refer to the series we all love, it would turn into a few empty words...

David and Gililan are the eptiome of grace they are incredible together and I will not watch if and when Mulder leaves and Scully is left with Doggett because David has brought Mulder to life and I love David and Mulder. I hope Chris Carter knows how much the fans want Mulder and Scully to get together cause that is what I have waited for so long I want Chris Carter to have the deceny and end it on a good note rather than a note of why have i wasted all this time after 8 years I hope he does the right thing

Your Comments: I was only 10 years old when I began watching the "X Files". I stared in amazement at the man who could stretch and contort his body. I was often scared or shocked into using a nightlight by these episodes. I remember thinking of Mulder as a brave heroic character; He walked into the face of danger constantly. Mulder has encountered situations that would make Chris Carter wet his pants. Even Chris Carter's macho hero Doggett couldn't handle these situations that Mulder faced so bravely. Maybe if surfer dude hadn't crashed into so many rocks he would realize that Mulder is an integral part of the "X Files". Mulder is the "X Files"... dude!

Your Comments: The X-files without Mulder will no longer be the X-files. If the Fox network wants to continue the series beyond Season 8, they should continue it with only the character of Doggett and rename the show, in the same manner that the Star Trek series went on with their "next generation" series. The fans of the X-Files deserve proper closure regarding the characters of Mulder and Scully.

Your Comments: I think... I consider one of the people better convinced on the continuity of the series, nevertheless, I believe that he is right to move away us of the egoísmo and to offer our support to a man, who all we loved: David. He along with Guillian and Chris, have offered their life, heart and core us. Dedicating between 12 and 16 hours daily of recording, work of script and direction. If David needs to move away to make his dreams we give the opportunity him to be crystallized like person and actor. But that he does not forget that he is what is thanks to us and in correspondence returns soon to the series. Without Mulder there is noX-Files, we stop then a time. I am convinced that for us the X-Philios, does not exist limits, we can wait for a longed for return. And nobody would lose. We would obtain chapters with quality, non churros nor refritos (pathetic repetitions) of the same history, actors with renewed forces. They would gain a deserved rest, a time for their families, to grow like human beings. The Fox, a highest rating of the moment waited for by all, a return, a return to the world that all we wanted to live and an encounter with the loved personages more of the world (SALES). They do not fear Fox, we have the best public of the world, because the best series of planet has given us Earth. We will not go away with first of change. We are faithful and we have demonstrated it. Let us demonstrate to our solidarity = now love (that is to say, ours anti - egoísmo) Thousand excuses, I do not speak English, but desire to share with all my love by X-Files. Love is the total delivery..... Yo pienso...... Me considero una de las personas mejor convencidas sobre la continuidad de la serie, sin embargo, creo que es justo alejarnos del egoísmo y brindar nuestro apoyo a un hombre, que todos amamos: David. Él junto con Guillian y Chris, nos han brindado su vida, corazón y alma. Dedicando entre 12 y 16 horas diarias de grabación, trabajo de guión y dirección. Si David necesita alejarse para realizar sus sueños démosle la oportunidad de cristalizarse como persona y como actor. Pero que él no se olvide que es lo que es gracias a nosotros y en correspondencia regrese pronto a la serie. Sin Mulder no hay X-Files, paremos entonces un tiempo. Estoy convencida que para nosotros los X-Philios, no existen límites, podemos esperar un ansiado retorno. Y nadie perdería. Nosotros obtendríamos capítulos con calidad, no churros ni refritos (repeticiones patéticas) de la misma historia, actores con renovadas fuerzas. Ellos ganarían un merecido descanso, un tiempo para sus familias, crecer como seres humanos. La Fox, un elevadísimo rating del momento esperado por todos, un retorno, un regreso al mundo que todos quisiéramos vivir y un reencuentro con los personajes más amados del mundo (VENTAS). No teman Fox, nosotros tienen el mejor público del mundo, pues nos han regalado la mejor serie de planeta Tierra. No nos iremos con la primera de cambio. Somos fieles y lo hemos demostrado. Demostremos ahora nuestra solidaridad = amor (es decir, nuestro anti - egoísmo) Mil disculpas, no hablo inglés, pero deseo compartir con todos mi amor por los X-Files. Amor es la entrega total.....

Your Comments: Yo considero que en efecto es fatal el hecho de que DD no participe como estamos acostumbrados en la serie, por lo tanto, si él tiene otros proyectos que realizar, sería muy saludable que los llevara a cabo después de largos 7 años dedicados a la X-Files, es decir a nosotros. No seamos tan egoistas y démosle la oportunidad de alejarse del programa. Esto va dirigido no sólo a Chris Carter, sino tambien a la Fox y a todos sus fans, permitamos que la serie pare unos meses, quizas un año y estoy segura que ser así todos estaríamos esperando un retorno con deseperación y pasión y eso les retribuiría en rating, que creo es lo que temen perder. Ojalá puedan traducir este mensaje y difundirlo... Es saludable para todos respetar y aceptar las decisiones tomadas por quienes hacen tanto por nosotros. Gracias David Duchovny. Gracias Guill....

Your Comments: From everything I have read so far, I don't think I will be watching this season. It sounds like CC will be pulling another "Closure" with Mulder. And for Scully, it sounds as if they want to forget about her pregnancy. In other words they plan on reinventing the show. Only problem, is that there was nothing wrong with it. If they write a lame ending for Mulder and ignore a core story line for Scully, what is left of the X -Files? I think fan should just sit down and write a little fanfiction, and do Mulder and Scully some justice.After all we who love their characters can create our own endings.

Your Comments: The thought of X files without Mulder has put me through a number of different emotions. I guess the stongest is disappointment and in a way mourning. I mourn for a show that has given me hours upon hours of pleasure and entertainment, I mourn for the fact that without Mulder in the show all hopes of an X file movie franchise have gone down the gurgler. I think a lot of us fans were holding onto the hope that once the series finished we would have the movies to keep us going. Please, FOX, CC, don't destroy this hope. Apart from that, you are ruining a very lucrative revenue maker. A movie without Mulder has no interest for me and judging by the list in this book, very few people would go to watch it. Mulder is the X files. It's his quest, his baby, his life. Without Mulder the X files has no life, no passion. If Dogget is there to help Scully find Mulder, then fine. We'll hang in there. If he is there to replace Mulder,then forget it. We don't know the ultimate plan you have for the show, but without Mulder, it doesn't matter. Plan all you want, no one will watch it with the interest that has kept the show alive over the past 7 years. If you never listen to the voice of your fans again, please, this time, pay attention.!!!

Your Comments: Hi everyone. I love Mulder. He's my favourite character, and I've been hearing some comments about his probable destiny in the X-Files: torture and pain. Believe me when I say that I'm really worried about him. He's been alive for 7 years now, and he deserves our concern. Although he's a fictional character, we've all felt identified with his feelings, mostly with his crusade. We all love our families. We could be Mulder, looking for our dear sister. We've been experiencing both his failure and success, we've cried and we've smiled with him. Thus we can't let him disappear without a trace. We won't let him down. He doesn't deserve an undignified end! I won't ever tell anyone what to do. That's not my intention, for everyone's free to either watch or not watch the series, however, we can't let this be without venting our feelings, and this is what I'm trying to do here: I don't need a macho man, I want Mulder back! Love Inma.

Your Comments: I totally agree with this article! And with such compassion was it written with! I am, nonetheless, a HUGE DD fan. I'm a Mulderist too. :) I cannot believe how they are treating Mulder's position. They have completely forgotten him. There are more and more magazines coming out, covers adorned with GA and Dog boy (no offense, just a great name to poke fun at) and I keep wondering when I see these, "where's david?" Also, they treat him with total disregard. The article was all about promoting the show, GA and dog boy's "marvelous chemistry" *puke* but no mention of DD. Just think of how much he put himself into that role, how much he made the X-files what it is today. DO you think any actor could've done a better job and left such an imprint? But yet to be treated like this, just makes me angry and furious. I'm resolved to watch only the episodes with mulder. I hope they treat him well. For if they dare hurt him in any injustice way, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole nation turned against them. G2G. Love ya David, and best of wishes!

He doesn't want to be in the show anymore. That's fine. I respect that. But for CC to go out and get this new guy, Dogget! Well it's just pitiful, that's what it is. The Xfiles is all about Mulder and Scully. So getting Dogget is like replacing Mulder. And replacing Mulder is like Replacing the xfiles altogether. Cause that's all the xfiles is, Mulder and Scully. I don't care how hard they try to convince me that i'll learn to love this new guy Dogget, the way i loved Mulder, but it will never happen. Nobody can replace Mulder. Nobody! I will deffinitly not be watching the show with Dogget! fool4(the real)xfiles

Your Comments: I will not be watching a Season 9 if the character of Mulder is killed off. Eight years of watching is a long time. Killing Mulder is a slap in the face to any true X-Phile. X = M + S, its that simple. If DD wants out, fine thats okay, but don't eliminate a character because the actor doesn't want to participate anymore. Think of all your major shows that have ended. How many of them kill off the main character? I love GA, but without Mulder Scully will be heartbroken. She has stated numerous times she stays in the FBI for him only. If you kill Mulder, how would you do a Season 9? If he is truly dead the first thing she would do would be to quit. There goes your Season 9 and as a Marketing major, I can tell you that the worst thing to do is kill your golden goose. DD is willing to do movies and FOX and CC are going to kill him off? The last movie made more than 170 million worldwide and you are going to throw it out the window. These people are pathetic, they have no clue of what role fans really play in the success of Hollywood. Look at Harsh Realm and then look at X-Files. The show must have had something to attract viewers for seven years. Hmm...could it be we like Mulder and want to see him?

Your Comments: I get absolutely nauseus at the thought of no David Duchovny. I can't accept this Doggett person with Scully. I won't be able to watch the show without Mulder. We fans have logged many, many hours avidly watching this show every week. Do not the networks make these shows for the pleasure of the fans? The X-Files should have ended in a way the fans would be pleased. They should have studied the success of the 5-yr "Babylon 5." The hero and heroine met; had their troubles; fell in love; and, at the end, were married. Show over. (They added one more year to Babylon 5, but it was uninteresting and not really worth watching.)This left the fans wistful at the show's end, but pleased as hell with the WAY it ended. To Fox: please don't assume we'll fall for Doggett. Mulder is our man and is the man for Scully. Anything else is unacceptable.

But for Mulder - who, I might add, is the only reason the X-Files project (not the show) has survived for so long - to be given a dishonorable discharge? To quote Cyrano de Bergerac, "Non, merci!!" I adore the X-Files show. I still want to work for 1013 Productions when I graduate. But I swear, if Mulder is ungracefully kicked out, I will not be a happy Phile. :)

Your Comments: The X-Files without Mulder would not be worth watching. One of the things that drew many fans to the show was the friendship/ sexual tension between Mulder and Scully. And a lot of fans have been watching the show since the very beginning. You can't revolve the show around 2 main characters for the whole lifetime of the show, then one day decide, "Oh, I think I'll create a new character and forget about one of the other main ones". It just doesn't work, and I think next season's ratings are going to reflect that. We X-Philes have spent too long getting to know Mulder (and Scully) and watching him every week. To take him out would be downright foolish. You can't expect us to just sit idly by and watch our beloved Mulder be expelled from the show, replaced with some weirdo, completely unfamiliar to The X-Files. It's can't happen. In case you haven't realized this, without the fans, The X-Files would have been canceled long ago. Why not listen to what the fans have to say for a change? It seems to me that if Mulder isn't kept in the show, everything will go down hill. Keeping Mulder seems to be the only logical thing to do.

Your Comments: Mulder *is* the show. The main reason why Chris Carter created it was because of Mulder's quest to find his sister, and how it truly began with The X-Files. I also have to say that if the show started with Mulder and Scully, then it should end with Mulder and Scully. Mulder and Scully's chemistry is one of the aspects that makes this show so amazing, and to see Scully start a fresh, new partnership with a totally different male agent just doesn't seem at all right to me.

Your Comments: My only comment is this: No Fox Mulder, no X-Files. For me, the X-Files will shut down the exact moment he'll walk out of the show. I mean...for god's sake, he IS the x-files! CC don't betray us all...we have followed & supported you through these years...you can't do this to us.
