| Visitor's Name: Cori You are from: Age Group: 35-51 Gender Female Comments: How ironic that a simple phrase 'Trust No One' has been the motto of so many dishearted fans in the last 4 weeks of this, the 8th season. We were told that Scully would not get a partner, yet on it's second week, Dogget announced he was in the X-Files. We were told that Mulder's presence would be in the episodes, yet on the 3rd episode his nameplate was brushed in a desk drawer. We were shown the sadness and hurt that Scully has for her partner and friend and the person closest to her, but yet on the 4th episode, she belittled Mulder by saying that she never got a desk, but Doggett will. And also, we must not forget the apology to Doggett, like a naughty little girl who is about to be sent to her room. Not only have we lost Mulder, but the strong-willed Scully as well. The writers are trying so hard to build the 'manly-man's' persona that it has destroyed what the X-Files is all about. How can seven years be forgotton. How can we be told that this is not about relationship. I'm sorry, but it became about a relationship when Scully walked in Mulder's hotel room on that first episode. She chose to follow his quest. Both have been through so much, has lost everyone and now they are telling us that Mulder is gone and forgotten. If in deed the spoilers are true regarding the pregnancy, if the writers and creator do not show some respect in the many fans that have followed them and really gotten them to where they are, then this show will eventually end as a comment - 'x-files - oh yea, it was a great show, but it was a disappointed at the end and wore out it's welcome'. Instead of finishing with the greats like MASH, Cheers, Seinfeld, etc. Bring back Mulder with dignity, bring the two characters together. If you choose to continue with another season, make it as a next generation and/or maybe movie of the weeks - several shows a year. This would let the actors pursue their careers. Listen to the fans for once. Don't patronize us by telling us what we think we want. We know what we want, and we want Mulder back and in the arms and heart of Scully.

| Visitor's Name: Inma Ruiz You are from: Seville (Spain) Age Group: 18-34 Gender Female Comments: I think they shouldn't have erased Mulder/DD from the opening credits. I really consider this a big mistake, and I'm sure lots and lots of philes will agree with me here. They should know better, you know, for this show without Mulder is NOT The X-Files. I mean, they can still call it like that, but no matter how official it is, it won't be our favourite series anymore. Thus I can foresee an unavoidable shipwreck if they don't change their minds before it's too late. Although they've already disappointed a lot of philes, there can still be ways to try and save the whole situation and put the show to and end for good, e.g.: they could still make a NEW SHOW even dealing with Dogget's investigation... Just a suggestion. Love. Inma. Sign Time: November 28 2000 at 07:29:18 |

| Visitor's Name: Red You are from: Florida/USA Age Group: 18-34 Gender Female Comments: I have been a fan (shipper) of the Xfiles since the series premiere. The heart and soul of the show is the Mulder and Scully partnership, trust, devotion and dare I say love. If I had to pick between who the main character was...That would be Mulder first and then Scully...the partnership together,from start and should be to the the end is how I thought it would always be. Let's not forget the show for seven years was about Mulder's quest and passion...which in shippers opinions transended into the quest, preservasion of Scully and the truth. I never wanted this show to end and now I find myself devestated the show did not end season 7...I can't believe those are my feeling now, but only because season 8 is horrible without Mulder. They are betraying the character we have known and loved for so long. It is horrible how the characters are changing and how Mulder is being forgotten about. He has gone to the ends of the earth for Scully, welcomed death when he was without her and I don't particually see her as devestated by Mulder's abduction. We know the Scully of seven seasons before would be devestated and only searching for her Mulder. Instead this new Scully is getting Doggett a desk and thanking him for backing her up...her dear new partner. Do I sound recentful? What is going on with C.C. and FOX network...killing what was a spectacular show...instead of going out with a bang.. I see it going out with a whimper...at least in my book. I will have to make up my own ending, ban all talk beyond season 7...burn all promotional pictures of the betral to Mulder...thanks to FOX and series creater C.C. for killing a cultural phenomenom...when we always said the is no Mulder without Scully or vice versa...black & white,love & hate, thunder & lighting, and day & night...they all go together always and forever...why have they changed the laws of logic and the truth now so far down the line?

After seeing the first two episodes, we learn that he is indeed getting the X-Files and that he is going to be Scully's partner. We were lied to. Then we all hear that Mulder will be the 'absent center' of this Season, that everything will be about 'the search for Mulder'. And then "Patience" comes and it's a MOTW. And the search for Mulder is forgotten. And his memory is hastly shoved inside a drawer by the one person that should be looking for him. Mulder is not an absent center, he's just absent. We were lied to one more time. And to make everything worse, Mulder's badge is taken out of the opening credits. It doesn't really bug me that David Duchovny's name is not there. What makes me mad is that MULDER is missing from the opening credits of a show that is supposed to be ABOUT HIM and his quest. I was willing to give the new episodes a chance. I was willing to watch because I had hope Mulder would indeed be the 'absent center'. I don't think I'm gonna do it anymore. I'm just sick of being lied to. Of being manipulated. I feel like throwing all my XF memorabilia away, like just trying to forget it ever existed. Here lies The X-Files, dead by the hands of its own creator. May it rest in Peace.

| Visitor's Name: Erik You are from: MA Age Group: 18-34 Gender Male Comments: Mulder has always been the "X-Files". He's the main reason i ever watched(besides the paranormal activities that drew me in-gotta love it!) from Sept. 93'-present. He's the heart & soul completely along with the mysteries and shady characters like the great Krycek,CSM etc.They had better have a great exit for one of the most celebrated tv characters in television history cuz he's the main reason for the show's success and we all know it(they should too!). Btw David u are the man! Don't blame u for leaving though cuz season 7 was horrendous to put it nicely. But "Requiem" kinda redeemed the whole routine year. But this year despite Mulder's absense in most eps,i still think this year is gonna be fun and creative even though he's only in half or less eps which is what David wanted, remember that. It'll be odd without Mulder doing his thing and pissing people off. And too much Scully...damn that's bad. But when Mulder's around I think it'll be good of course cuz he ain't gonna be the same in my mind after what happened to him. There's all sorts of capabilities really. Doggett's fine to me but of course noone could even attempt to replace Mulder cuz he's the main reason the show is what it is if u ask me. Cuz Carter's words coming out of Mulder's mouth is brilliance in tv when it comes to dialogue and believability of some of the bizarre stuff he's saying but it works like crazy.

| Your Comments: | Truly, I do not think the X-Files would be the success it is today if David Duchovny was not cast in the role of Fox Mulder. It would of been just another slightly interesting show just like any other Science fiction show. Chris Carter might of created the guidelines for the Fox Mulder character, but it was David Duchovny who gave Fox Mulder soul and made him his own creation. Also what made the show so interesting was that we were seeing all these bizarre experiences through the sympathetic eyes of Fox Mulder. I understand and agree with David Duchovny's choice of not doing the whole of Season 8. So he can have more time with his family and for other projects, for which I'm looking forward to seeing. Concerning the episodes that David Duchovny will not be present, I'd still like to hear about Fox Mulder... an acknowledgment that he has not been brushed off and forgotten and reassurances in the media by the people behind the X-Files that the stories will go back to being Fox Mulder's stories. |

He's the main reason that we stayed glued to the screen, on the edge of our seats, just to see if he gets one step closer to the truth, or closer to finding Samantha, or getting closer to Scully for that matter!!! He's the reason that most people watch. I mean, the show is awesome,its got great plots & stories & stuff, but its just not the same w/out Mulder. He is so hot, & has something, some ora thats seems to draw you in & sympathize w/ him, or be happy when hes happy, or cry when he cries. He draws you in emotionally & physically. What he does from episode to episode makes you want to watch each Sunday, to see the continuing quest for truth. When you add all that up, you get a great show w/ a great guy w/ great fans!!! Its awesome!!! |

The violence you are depicting on screen against our two beloved characters is both cruel and gratuitous. In pandering to a specific and new group of fans for the neXt files, you are betraying your original fans, as well as the characters you claim to love. I have been sickened by the imagery you have literally shoved down our throats in the first four episodes this year. I don't believe you really care what I think, but you are ruining a show I watched faithfully every week. When it's all over, I'm afraid the only legacy you will leave behind is a bad taste in viewers' mouths. I love these characters and their story, but it seems you only care about the money another season or two will bring. How much money do you have to have?? Is it worth destroying the integrity of the show and betraying the fans who love the characters you created? |

| Your Comments: | X-Files has always been one of my favourite programs on TV; this is largely due to the chemistry between Mulder and Scully. When the movie came out and there was rumour that the X-file series would soon end and be replaced by movies (like Star Trek the next generation) I was pleased, as a fan you know one day the series must end but X-files is strong enough to be a movie. However that changes if Mulder is no longer apart of it. The same would be true if the roles were reversed and it was Scully who had gone. I feel it is time to let X-files move on, it should end with season 8, Mulder returned to Scully to continue their journey in Film rather than television. Taking this great show much beyond season 8 would kill it (and I would probably say the same if Mulder came back) Ever heard the expression "to much of a good thing" ? Its developed so much over the years and the only way forward, with out betraying its roots, characters and fans, is the big screen. |

| Your Comments: | Season 8 has started and I have to say I was prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt. I watched Within and Without and can honestly say that I liked the new character, Doggett. He's no Mulder and was never meant to be, for which I am glad. I don't think there is any danger that he is a replacement for Mulder, I think the danger is in the fact that now Scully is the replacement for Mulder. And that little scenario simply doesn't work for me. I loved the way Skinner was totally committed to finding Mulder, working with TLG and everything, my question is why isn't Scully doing this? The answer is simply because it's not written that way and now we have the reason why X-Philes for Mulder exists and why I, personally, am very afraid for how Mulder will be characterised in the writing when he comes back. I haven't watched any further episodes, nor do I intend to until there is a Mulder presence, but I have seen enough reviews and heard comments from those who have watched and I fear all the more. Mulder was suuposed to be the absent centre this season, but all he is now is "absent". Scully (and Chris Carter) have filed him away and all but forgotten about him. The occasional "where is Mulder" reference just isn't going to cut it, considering the scripts we've had so far. I will return to watching when Mulder is back and hope to the Gods that the show doesn't become entirely soured for me then. It would be a sad epitath after seven years of faithful following on my part. I'm selfish enough to beg you not to do this to me, Mr Carter. |

| Your Comments: | I love the xfiles. I know how crazy this sounds and how no one will understand it without the details but the xfiles saved me. There was a time in my life when I would have died literally but because of the xfiles, I didn't. That was back when the conspiracy was thick with secrets and Mulder was just as hot as ever. Without him the show isn't the same. I'm not saying that Gillian can't carry a show on her own but not this show, not when David has played such a huge part in this. I love Chris Carter, he's wonderful. But as a fan of his I believe that I have to be honest and say that is was not a wise decision to continue the show without David. I'm truly sorry that the show has headed this way. But Despite of all these things I will continue to watch the show. I would be the happiest most content person ever if Mulder came back. |

| Your Comments: | I enjoyed the season opener, but after watching PATIENCE and ROADRUNNERS I have to comment on the direction the show seems to be headed: namely that of action and gratuitous violence over characterization and plot. While I realize the show needed to change to make room for the new character of Doggett, I'm deeply disappointed that the writers seem to have chosen to accomplish this by diminishing the original characters of Mulder and Scully, and eschewing intelligent dialogue for excessive gore. Disappointed and bored. Is this what Chris Carter described as "threatening the paradigm?" If it is, whatever Hell he chooses to put Mulder and Scully through this season the ultimate resolution of their storyline MUST be their return to us WHOLE and STRENGTHENED, as steel is forged in fire. Anything less is an insult, if not an emotional assault, against those of us who have come to love these characters after seven seasons of viewing. Like Scully,we are struggling without Mulder, and the writers are struggling as well, I feel, without his familiar voice. But please remember, 1013: what you do to Mulder (and Scully), you do to us. And manipulation has its limits for even the most patient of audiences. GBOLT, SSVP (S |

They want to change our own conception of Mulder, and we won't take it, no!. Nobody is going to tell us we didn't really know him, as they're trying to do now!

| Your Comments: | I am a graduate student in Oregon and a number of people and I discuss your show each week. We are all very disappointed in where the show is going this season. Specifically, I like how Skinners character is more supportive of M/S. I really dislike Agent Doggetts character, he has no depth that makes me like him, he has no quirks that make me identify with something about him. I dislike Scully this season b/c there is nothing about her character that I can love or hate, like her adamant refusal to believe in the face of the evidence. Plus you cannot expect us to like the fact that she is more of a wishy/washy person now. I hugely dislike the fact that all we see of Mulder is screaming face torture, I did like the almost naked thing though. Mulder is the only reason I continue to watch the show, b/c his reactions are what are interesting. Yes, he is somewhat predictable but I watch him to see his reactions b/c he is going to give me honest from the heart reactions not lets think about this before reacting. Most of my friends at school have stopped watching your show and suggest you either bring back Mulder to a main part of the show or just end it now with some movie in the summer to wrap everything up. Those are my suggestions. |

As far as I`m concerned Mulder *is* the X-Files and the X-Files ended when he left.I don`t watch it any more and neither do my friends,also former avid viewers.It`s not only Mulder`s absence,though that is the major reason,it`s the fact that we simply don`t like Dogget.In fact I really,truely hate the guy.And it`s not the "love to hate him" like it was with Krycek.I really hate him. What happening with Scully is also criminal,I was never all that attached to her character,she was O.K,Mulder`s partner and all,but now she`s just annoying. Why did they ruin this show for everyone? Why couldn`t they just end it when Mr.Duchovney wanted to leave and give us some closure? |

Everyone knew that DD would only be present for a limited number of shows, but yet the writers have completely dropped the ball. It is sad because everyone knows they are capable of doing much better. Duane Barry, anyone?... I think it's a shame that the show is being turned inside out. It is now unrecognizable. And after all the hype about "the search for Mulder"... the truth is NO ONE is looking for him. The first case for S&D comes along and Mulder is shoved in a desk drawer out of sight out of mind. I really dont care if the show is being redesigned for Doggett. I won't bother to watch it. Mulder & Scully are the X files. Period.This other by-product that is on the air now is not the x files.

| Your Comments: | As a loyal fan for the past 5 years, I have watched the past four episodes with growing dismay. How could such a beautiful show devolve so badly so quickly? I guess when you try to replace a vibrant, beating heart with a handful of dust and you try to pretend that what you are looking at is still a viable entity, it starts to look zombified and lifeless pretty quickly. Mulder is, was and always will be the heart of the X-files. It is sad to think that such efforts are being made to gloss over what has happened -- his absence, his being gone. My hopes for the show are dwindling and I won't be watching this week. I tried to watch the old episodes on Thanksgiving on FX and found it too sad to look back at the old stories. That surprised me, but it was true and I wonder if others are having similar reactions. I can't see that this bodes well for the x-files section of the DVD library I just started. If I continue to be this turned off, I can't see myself watching FX or buying any DVD's. What's going on now sullies and disrespects all that has preceded it and I can't stand to see the whole body of work compromised by this on-going charade on Sunday nights. |

| Your Comments: | RE: Season 8--Who are these people and what have they done with the X-Files? Not only do I miss Mulder, but the show certainly does as well. One of the reasons I miss Mulder is that, without him, the character of Scully has gone missing as well. Perhpas to get across the point that Doggett is brave, loyal, dedicated, smart, intuitive, quick-acting and one heck of a partner, the show is sacrificing all we know about Scully (and certainly all we know about Scully and Mulder). I've been a loyal watcher for the life of the show; I watch the reruns on FX and own them on tape and DVD. "Patience" and "Roadrunners" do not rate a repeat viewing. If we didn't know the characters, the episodes would be uninteresting (and insulting to smart, independent women everywhere); having known and loved these characters, the episodes are appalling. Find Mulder quickly; let's hope he brings Scully back with him. |

| Your Comments: | Although Mulder was my main reason for watching the X-Files, I was willing to give the new season and the new character a chance, even without Mulder. I watched Within and Without and found them extremely boring. The preview for the next episode turned me off completely. I have no interest whatsoever in watching Scully and Doggett running around trying to catch bat-people or other monsters-of-the-week. I won't be tuning back in until Mulder returns. And I may just tune out permanently if the quality of the stories doesn't improve when Mulder comes back. And I want to see Mulder written the same way he's always been -- brilliant, witty, sensitive, tenacious, complex. Don't screw around with the character's personality and give us a new Mulder that we can't even recognize. (Oh yeah, and get rid of that stupid pregnancy. What a dumb idea. The show isn't supposed to be a soap opera. Sheesh.) |

Does he really think we'll watch a weak and wimpy Scully be scolded and belittled by a male-chauvinist pig? I expected the last words in Roadrunner to be the "manly man" telling the "girly girl" to "run on home now and bake me some cookies." The Next Files has had it's Fonzie Water Skiing Moment. I suggest to CC and GA that they both get over the fact that DD has great reps who are capable of getting him a good contract. That's how it works in show business! Besides, DD deserves every dime he gets because it is his acting in Mulder that is the reason I (and many others) got hooked on the show. CC you can save The X-Files! When DD comes back, have CSM shoot the "manly man" and then we will never ever see him again, nor ever speak of him again. I will forgive you for the bad thing you did in creating The Next-Files. You can end the show with a cliffhanger re the baby, and then start making X-Files Two The Movie. I'm waiting. |

| Your Comments: | Sunday nights used to be such a joy for my husband and me. We anticipated watching our favorite show, "The X-Files" starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. It was our must see show. We would watch it while video taping it. We have every ep of the first seven years on tape. We have bought all of the pre-recorded tapes and the first movie. We have purchased the first two seasons of DVD box sets and we bought a DVD player for the sole purpose of viewing them. I loved and still love "The X-Files" Seasons 1-7. Sadly, I wish that I could say that about Season 8. I was very upset earlier this year when it was decided that the show would go on for anothe season without a full-time Duchovny, but still had great hopes that Chris Carter and Fox could pull off a great first-half season with Scully missing her best friend, her partner, (and I believe) the love of her life, Mulder. I thought it could be great storytelling to have her show her love by searching for him. I along with so many other devoted fans believed Chris Carter when he said that Mulder would be the "absent center" of the show. And now that absent center sits in a desk drawer! =SIGH= It would be bad enough to have Scully "give up" her search for Mulder so quickly, but now suddenly Scully is weak (Doggett gets the strength - something to do with him being so manly I guess), AND she's being turned into some kind of sex kitten (tight blouses, heavy-duty push-up bra). So not only do I find a Season 8 without Mulder, but now the Scully that I've grown to know all of these many years is suddenly gone to! In short, I want my "X-Files" back! I want Mulder and Scully together, continuing on their quest. If you must continue "The Next Files" then do so with Doggett and some new bimbo and let Mulder and Scully exit with dignity and grace into a movie franchise. And while I'm at it, are any of the people at Fox, or Chris Carter or Frank Spotnitz actually going out online and finding out how the fans really feel? I'm wondering because frankly I keep reading all of the great "spins" on how "fantastic" the season is going in publications such as "USA Today". If they would take the time to visit the newsgroup alt.tv.x-files.analysis they would find some excellent, intelligent postings from long-time viewers who are very upset and saddened by what they are seeing. And it's just not on-line people. One example is a 50 year old woman I work with. She and I would always discuss the show every Monday morning. Every fall around Sept she would bug me for the premiere date so she wouldn't miss it. This year she didn't even bother asking. A couple of weeks ago she finally brought it up to me and said that she didn't even bother tuning in because in her words, "what's the point?" She said she thought it was pointless to have a season of the show without one of it's two main characters. She watched the show for Mulder AND Scully. Me thinks a lot of people thought of only money and not what was in the best interest of the show, the characters and the fans who have followed it for 7 years. Mulder and Scully deserve so much more than this. And so do we. I hope it's not too late to save the rest of the season or to save Mulder and Scully from total character assassination. Please tell me it's not! Thanks for reading. |

| Your Comments: | I was certainly ready to give season 8 a try until the huge PR campaign started in mid-summer and I got a bad taste in my mouth. Talk about being force-fed! I'm glad I can recognize "spin" when I see it. Still, I couldn't walk away from my XF addiction, so I tuned into Fox for the season opener. I couldn't believe the degree of abuse that Duchovny was put through. Was this revenge for the successful lawsuit that David presented? Ready to give it, one more try, I watched Patience. Suddenly, I was out of patience. The story was weak and the heart and soul of the series was missing. I would even say that Scully was missing; replaced with someone who looks like Scully, but acts like a completely different and average actor. I'm not asking for much. Merely bring the Mulder and Scully chapter to a close in a manner most devoted fans would find pleasing. Allow them to behave like whole, sexual adults. Give them a send-off that rewards us viewers. Forget the cliched endings like, Evil Mulder or Mulder Death. Come on Chris, it's time to let go. Just like birds push their babies from the nest, you must let Mulder and Scully fly. |

| Your Comments: | I've been a fan from day one. I was a shipper...then, the way Scully was written made me stop wishing for a development of Mulder and Scully's relationship. I was psyched by the conspiracy...but then sixth season came and the mess known as 2Fathers/ One Son... wiped away the conspiracy. Mulder was the only thing which kept me focused on the show. I trusted you, Mr. CC, not to destroy you brain-child. Instead you're treating him just like a brain tumor...yeah, just one of those things you're fixed on giving to your characters (besides the total wrongness of that plot twist how is giving Mulder a brain's tumor for lack of originality? The phrase: been there, done that, got the t-shirt...ring any bells?)...a brain tumor you just have to eliminate. Well, guess what Mr. CC? We love Mulder! We miss Mulder...what the hell did you think...you could just shove down our throats the new guy and expect us to swallow it, slurp and say, "Oh, goody"? C'mon...Mr. Carter, get real, please! You may have created Mulder...but Mr. Duchovny gave him soul. Mulder was the soul and heart of TXF...and your writing (which btw is getting lousier year after year) is not enough to keep the fans interested....I for one I'm an eX-Phile. NO MULDER, NO XF...NO ME |

| Your Comments: | What has happened to the show we've grown to know and love? David's return to the show is going to show him minimally, Scully isn't the same strong, self-reliant character she's always been, and a new person has been shoved down our throats in the midst where he's neither wanted nor necessary. And to top it off, the scripts have been abhorrent, stealing bits and pieces from past episodes and past seasons to create some kind of pseudo-episode. And now, the most recent episode is the most offensive of all. Seeing Scully raped was never anything that I dreamed would be shown on XF, and that's essentially what happened. I'll be back to the show when David is, and until then, I'll stick with watching my tapes from previous seasons. |

| Your Comments: | There are no words to express the disappointment, anger and betrayal I feel at the path that The X-Files have taken this season. Contrary to all of the lies we have been told by CC, Robert Patrick has always been meant to be a replacement for David Duchovny. The fact that he has not been able to replace David Duchovny is no fault of his. Doggett is, to put it simply, no Mulder. Doggett displays none of the passion or soul that Mulder does. Mulder is invested in his work. I don't see that in Doggett. Sadly, I don't see it in Scully at this point either. Scully has become a helpless female victim in order to lure the adolescent males that FOX wants to badly. They dress her in clothes 3 sizes to small for her and tie her up so that she can scream helplessly until the "manly man" comes to save her. It makes me want to cry. First they take a strong and professional female, one with compassion and the ability to function in a man's world without appearing to be a bitch. I love her. Five seasons later, I begin to see the transformation start. By the end of season 7, she has truly become the Ice Queen. Mulder is abducted. Does Scully look for him the way he searched for her? No. She gives it a token try and then throws his name plate in a desk drawer and tells her new partner that even though she never had a desk in Mulder's office, she'll make sure that he gets one. Amazing that she has known Doggett a couple of weeks at this point and she shows him more kindness and compassion than she's shown Mulder in the past 4 seasons combined. The decision to completely and totally disregard the character Fox Mulder and the actor David Duchovny is the greatest of the sins. Without Mulder there is no X-Files. Without Duchovny, there is no X-Files. Suffice to say that I'm through with this show until Mulder returns. In closing, I would like to suggest to CC and GA that they consider checking into the possiblity of some anger management classes to assist in the rage that they so obviously feel towards David. This rage rears it's ugly head in every interview and serves no purpose. The class here is being displayed by David who continues to say nothing but nice things about GA and, for the most part, CC. It is the difference between having class and not having class. Between CC, GA and David, it seems that David will be taking the class of the show with him as he leaves to pursue what I sincerely hope will be a successful career in feature films. He has all of my best wishes in this endeavor. Delynn |

| Your Comments: | With great reservations I decided to give Season 8 "a chance", watching the premier and the two subsequent episodes "Patience" and "Roadrunners". What a loss the character of Mulder has been to the show. Although the lighting and technical delivery is excellent, the stories are shallow and the character development is pathetic. As one viewer stated in a message at the official site board, I've looked for lost socks in the dryer longer than they have looked for Mulder. I guess the only humor associated with the show is found in posts on message boards, because the dialog in the episodes I saw sure didn't have any. It appears creativity has been lost in the quest for the 18-49 male viewer demographic. From X-Files to Faux Files in just a few episodes. Hope that makes you proud Carter. |

| Your Comments: | This is unbelievably sad. Not only is Mulder gone... but now Scully is, too. I find it impossible to even *think* about watching X-F again after seeing Patience and Roadrunners... and what CC & Co. think Scully should be acting like now. You should have left the show alone, boys! Or let it go altogether. But this slow death for the show and torture for the fans is totally uncalled for. And where you think you're seeing chemistry between Scully and Doggett is beyond me -- it ain't there... not *at all*! Do everyone a favor and finish the show up with M&S at the end of this year... then let RP take the show into S9 and kill it all on his own. Shouldn't take too long. No need to involve David and Gillian any further... remember, they're the ones who made the show a hit! BOTH of them... TOGETHER. There's your winning formula. Stick with it or give it up. I'm not watching without it. |

| Your Comments: | Okay, I've given season 8 and Doggett a chance. And my reaction is...this show hasn't a chance until Mulder returns soon. Patrick is a stiff - no spark, no warmth, no humor, nothing. Just an ambulatory action figure. Scully's being twisted completely out of character. The plots are reruns or ripoffs of past episodes. My patience is wearing thin and friends of mine agree - TXF is nothing without Mulder. Bring Mulder back soon! I'm about ready to tune out until he returns, since I'm not enjoying what I see anyway. |

| Your Comments: | Count me in as one of the many who was disgusted by the insensitive PR campaign from hell, that 1013 conducted to hype season 8. Still, I held out some hope that things might be handled well this season. That hope disappeared when Scully put Mulder's nameplate away in the third episode. I was appalled. Really, Mr. Carter couldn't have been more blatant. Apparently, Mulder is to be erased. And now we have mediocre and gory monster of the week episodes, with absolutely no mention of Fox Mulder which is both insulting to the characters and the fans who have loved the show and the Mulder/Scully partnership all these years. It's a shame that apparently Fox and 1013 think they must make us forget about Mulder, to continue to build up the character of John Doggett. All they are doing is destroying the integrity of the characters and the devotion of their loyal fan base. To quote a John Lennon song: "How do you sleep at night, Mr. Carter? How do you sleep?" |

| Your Comments: | I thank you and praise you for your efforts. While I am still watching the show, I have been most disappointed that Scully and Doggett are looking into new cases instead of looking for Mulder. I thought that S8 *WAS* the search for Mulder. It seems to me it is just the search for a new XFile, and how to get Scully to trust Doggett, and on second thought...Hey, Didn't Scully lose a partner? Well, I think they should have approached it with the search for Mulder possibly leading them into some new X files, but this way seems very disrespectful of the dynamic partnership of Mulder and Scully that we have come to love. I don't hate Doggett, but I was led to believe he was *NOT* a replacement for Mulder, and in the last two eps, it is seeming as if he really IS replacing Mulder. MissMulderMuch? |

| Your Comments: | I am one of the "minority" according to Fox PR. I hate season 8 and the new character of Doggett. There was no reason to add "just a cop" to the fascinating characters already in place on the X-files. I,and many other fans, have given up watching this neXt-files, poor imitation of the X-files. Not only have TPTB brought onto the show an unwelcome new member to the cast(IMHO),but they have also started ruining the character of Dana Scully -what a sour-pussed tart! |

| Your Comments: | Since going online, I have become increasingly disillusioned and depressed by the direction the X-Files is going, in both its quality and the treatment of its characters. The X-Files originally began as one man's quest - Fox Mulder - for his sister and for Truth. Others, like Scully and the Lone Gunmen, followed his lead. Without Mulder, the show has lost its heart. Without Mulder, who is going to solve the cases the unique x-files' way? While I understand that 1013 had to work around David Duchovny's limited participation this season, surely they could have used him better! They managed to weave great storylines around the Scully abduction - it's not a great ask for the same to happen for Mulder's abduction. After 7 years, the character of Mulder is deserving of more respect and dignity than he has been treated with so far. As a fan of the show from Day 1 it aired, I can tell you that what Carter & Co have done has truly pained and depressed me. I do not appreciate the apparent character assassination of Fox Mulder. I do not like the insinuations about Mulder in Season 8 - especially when the man himself is unable to defend himself against them! Which brings me to another point. WHY ISN'T SCULLY SEARCHING FOR HIM? WHY ISN'T SCULLY DEFENDING HIM? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH SCULLY? In Season 8, she is no longer our Scully. She, of all the people/characters of the show, should be the one most devastated by Mulder's loss, the one who should be defending his reputation. The old Scully would be searching high and low for him, turning up any clue, any leads that will lead her back to his side... In Season 7, she went to Africa in search of a cure for Mulder. She - a skeptic - even managed to travel way out of her comfort zone of belief to search for a crashed UFO and then study it. Why? For Mulder, of course. So where is she now? What happened to this woman? Where is the strong woman who beat the stuffing out of Pfaster? Where is the woman who can stand her ground in any situation? Where is the woman who would go to the ends of the earth to back up Mulder, as he would for her? Why is this happening, Mr Carter? Why is it, that not only have I lost Mulder, but it appears that I'm losing Scully as well? And whatever happened to continuity? In a show where a central 'mytharc' theme exists, this is important. Viewers will pick up on any glaring errors pretty quickly. So how is it possible that Mulder - who *seemed* to have enjoyed good health in the past seasons, as well as *seemingly* enjoying all his usually brilliant mental and deductive faculties - be suffering from a fatal brain tumour? This 'plot twist' is simply unbelievable! There is more, but if I was to list them all, I'd be here all day, so I'd better stop now. Frustrated and worried fan, Judy PS. If someone with some influence were to read this, please help us help The X-Files. I feel the show will die ungracefully the way it's going at the moment. And I don't want that to happen. I love The X-Files too much to watch that happen! |

| Your Comments: | I was so relieved to see a site created to "save Mulder". I was overwhelmed by all the articles "Mulder is the X-Files", etc on the "X-Philes for Mulder" site. Oh, how true. At last...others that feel as I do!! It takes all my self-control not to turn the TV channel now, and I have always considered myself an X-Phile. (I NEVER would have believed I'd say that... or that it would come to that.) In fact, I may not even watch at all--at least until the David episodes are set to air. Boycott? It truly is NOT the same show. Yes, please re-name it. It isn't the "X-Files". I mourn for Mulder. Admittedly, it takes a lot for me to "fall in love" with a character...but the moment Fox Mulder (in "One Breath") dejectly... silently slid down the door frame in his ransacked apartment... openly weeping... palms splayed to heavens...alone and hopeless...unable to fight the evil powers-that-be, I was Right There With Him--speechless...heart-in-my-hands. I was forever Mulder-fied! I can't recall a more vulnerable, humane character on television. There was not a character more deserving in the fight for justice and truth. I was so hooked! And...we all tuned in...by the thousands...millions... to watch the struggles of the righteous Agents Mulder and Scully (and A.D. Skinner too!). Now, what do we get? A "masculine" too-easily accepted new partner (whom implied many a nasty about our hero but was quickly brushed under-the-rug so the fans would accept him) storyline? What is there to watch? A bat-creature? A slug in Scully's back?? Even the writing seems stilted and has-been. (Didn't the creators recall we fell for the characters themselves. I was at least hoping for a Scully thinking of...writing to...mourning for...Mulder. 7 years for nothing?! Is her character not even human anymore? No ode for Mulder. I mean, she looked more upset over losing Queequeg than her soulmate.) Also...to digress a bit...I mean...Dana Scully still whining over not having a desk?! 'Mean old Mulder would get me a desk, but I'll be sure you get one Agent Doggett.' What's that about?!? If her character is so independent and can easily call-up a desk for Doggett...why didn't she get one for herself?! What is Mr. Carter thinking? Insults to Scully and Mulder. And Agent Scully dumping Mulder's nameplate in the desk..."It's my office--we don't need any Mulder reminders here." I think that was a pretty obvious message there. I was sick. To his credit, I do "feel" for Mr. Robert Patrick. He's in a losing battle. I literally cringed when I saw the new opening for the show...close-ups of Scully and Doggett 'investigating'. Made me really miss the shot of Mulder and Scully--from the Tooms early days. THAT was the show. THEY were the show. I think the opening is reflective of Fox/Carter/1013's feelings. It's Scully and Doggett now. That's the message shoved down the viewer's throat--like it or lump it. The lump in my throat grows... Little personal closing note: My uncle was a guest star on the X-Files--("Trevor"). He played the big policeman that didn't want to lock the prisoner up in the box. He had several scenes with David and Gillian! And...not only am I proud of the fact that he even got to be on the show...but THANK GOODNESS he was on the REAL "X-Files"!! (I wouldn't even mention it if he were to win a guest role now...) To close...I took a look at last week's Nielsen's ratings in "EW" magazine. The 'new-and-improved' "X-Philes" didn't even break the top 30. Sad...but apparently, other Philes are missing Mulder as well! SAVE MULDER. SAVE THE FILES! Stop my Mulder withdrawals! Missing Mulder... |

| Your Comments: | THANX to all you guys, you really make my day *g*. Whenever I feel really down about all the crap that's going on with this once truely amazing show I come on over and read the guestbook and, well I guess Mulder was right the whole time, we are not alone *vbg*. It's great to know that so many of us are sticking to our principles, and like many of you have already stated I too feel dreadfully sorry for Robert Patrick (I mean look what we did to Mimi Rogers :-D ) Don't think me a loser or anything but don't listen to people who say that something as trivial as a TV show cannot change your life. A few years ago I suffered a tremendous loss, and the reality of the situation was pushing me really close to the brink. I guess you could say that the X Files helped to take my mind into a different reality for a little while. The people I chatted to on the boards helped me a whole lot and I wish I could thank each of you guys in person *g*. Anyway, the character of Mulder was a huge inspiration to me in those times. I loved the way that he'd take a fall, and with a little help from Scully, would just shrug his shoulders, dust himself off and carry on. I'm sure that many people fell in love with the character for that trait alone. I know a lot of people grew up with this show. My cousin sorta came of age with it so she knows how we all feel. It's kinda hard to see the people, even the fictional ones, who we grew up alongside become bastardised in such a shameless manner. I had decided to give the series a chance after I read the CC chat transcript. I thought he said some things that made me feel a little more optimistic about the show and the characters. Including Dogget. However, upon tuning in I found that the reality of watching is so much different. The show has become hollow and verging on the pathetic. Hell, the portrayal of Scully is downright disgusting; it's simply there to fuel the traditional male/female roles commonly seen in these sorts of shows for the minority male audience (yeah, I'm a guy, but still...)I understand the arguments of those who say that we shouldn't boycott the show, that we shouldn't let it die an awful death, but the show is practically dead anyway. That's what happens when the heart of something is ripped out. I don't really see any other way of geting thru to these people. We've campaigned and petitioned but it doesn't seem to have an effect, despite CC's argument that he does care what the 'fans' think (for 'fans', read minority audience). The only thing these folks understand are ratings. If you don't like your politician you show it at the ballot boxes, if you don't like a TV show....I rest my case. |

The past 4 weeks of that show formerly known as XF have been absolutely painful -- as we feard, Scully has simply tossed Mulder aside like so much garbage. I miss him, and I think Chris/1013/Fox/GA/RP better wake up and smell the fetid odor of a rotting show before there's nothing left for Mulder to come back to! This whole exercise has merely proven how Mulder is the center of the show -- its heart and soul! Please don't destroy it! |

| Your Comments: | In the past, the XF was a show that challenged us to use our imaginations and intelligence while providing intriguing monsters with plausible 'what if' rationales. Now all we're getting is gooey monsters provided as tethered goats for the heroes to kill and damsels in distress for manly men to rescue. There's no attempt to understand or explore, just kill and destroy whatever is lurking in the shadows. In short, the show has become just formula show where the bad guys are always monodimensional targets for the good guys to blow away or scare off. Perhaps Mulder's poster with its "I Want to Believe" should be replaced by a nifty little trophy wall with stuffed monster heads. Seeing Scully drop Mulder's nameplate in the desk drawer with absolutely no evidence that she's even continuing the investigation into his disappearance is a travesty and a betrayal of the trust we've seen develop over the past 7 years. Would it cost so much to at least refer to the fact that Scully (1) cares he's missing, or (2) is still looking for him in say about 30 seconds of air time each episode? Guess so. Scully was only missing a few weeks/months, but we saw a devastated Mulder barely making the motions. With Scully, we see her rearrange Mulder's office, order a desk for her new partner, and drop Mulder's nameplate out of sight within the first two weeks of his disappearance. I guess it's a case of out with the old, come here my manly man. <yuck> Finally, while I've had my problems with the characterization of Scully over the past several years, nothing prepared me for the blatant assassination job being carried out on her in order to make Doggett look manly. The submissive little girl admitting she'd done a bad thing at the end of Roadrunners was offensive. There's no need to trash the characters of Mulder and Scully to build up Doggett. He could be an interesting character on his own right, but you're shoving him down our throats like a horse pill. The new XF lacks passion, compassion, and the sense that we were exploring what lay beyond the boundaries of science in the path of a passionate believer. Now, all we're getting is a bad clone of Dragnet with monsters. |

| Your Comments: | X-Files given to someone who's main interest seems to be headed somewhere below a pregnant Scully's belt is mortal sin. I feel that the show's wow power is declining. Thank God for VHS and DVD to remind me of the "good old days". |

| Your Comments: | Season 8 is just going in a downward spiral. Mulder is the only thing that can maybe pull it back up. Doggett brings about as much life into the show as adding a brand new fern on Scully's desk and making her talk to it. No check that. Even less...just take him away. Its insulting. |

| Your Comments: | I agree with everything I've seen on this site. I mourn the loss of Mulder as a full-time character on the show, and although I realize that is not in any way the fault of 1013, I don't agree with the way they have treated the subject. The character of Mulder is the heart and soul of the show, and to degrade it is to degrade the show itself. X-Files without Mulder is like Star Trek without Captain Kirk or without Spock. |

| Your Comments: | I was ready to deal with a Mulderless Season 8. But now it turns out that I not only have to deal with a show that's changed, I must deal with a show whose creators seem determined to systematically erase everything that came before now. Among the fascinating, new information we've gotten in Season 8 is that far from being the working partnership between two difficult people I thought it was, the MSR bore more resemblance to Scrooge and Bob Cratchitt than anything else. Except even Bob Cratchitt got a desk. Scully had to sit in the ashes in the corner. In the second ep we got to see Doggett dress Scully down for behaving in a Mulder-like fashion--thus managing to cut down both characters at the same time! If 1013 wants to replace our prickly pair with a pair of more manly and pleasant (read: boring) partners, he's welcome to it. But could he just leave the best character he's ever created out of it? Or do the boys have even more surprises in store? Perhaps Mulder will turn out to really be a robot? Or to have been a bad dream of Scully's? Or to have been a sperm donor for the baby Scully was trying to have all last year without any of us knowing-- Oh wait, that possibility is all too real. |

| Your Comments: | I am immeasurably saddened by what CC has done with this once entertaining and loved series. I can't begin to express my feelings of betrayal over what CC and company have done and are continuing to do with the character of Mulder. The attempted character assassination of Mulder by CC and his cohorts is beyond belief. And, we the fans, "are as mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore." So CC be warned-we're coming to |

| Your Comments: | When Scully (of all people!) shoved Mulder in a desk drawer last week, it seemed like a perfect illustration of what CC and everyone has been trying to do to him all year. Absent center, my ass! And now, not only am I missing Mulder, I'm missing Scully. They've turned her from a smart, resourceful, take-charge role model into a fickle, dumb, submissive, T&A Barbie doll who can't seem to remember that her "soul-mate" is missing. Roadrunners was *offensive* in its portrayal of Scully. From the almost snuff-film imagery of her captivity and violation to her meek response to the way Doggett lectured her like a 16-year-old who took the family's car without permission, it made my stomach turn. And if they can destroy the character of Scully so completely while she's still on the show, God only knows what horrors they have in store for the character of Mulder. Has any show ever self-destructed so quickly? I've seen a bunch of them go splat, but never one with such mean-spiritedness and disregard for its characters and fans. |

| Your Comments: | Amen! So glad to have found the "X-Philes for Mulder" site! I've been experiencing Mulder-withdrawals for months. It takes every ounce of control not to turn the channel on the 'new' "X-Files". (NEVER thought I'd say that). I'd always loved Mulder, but never realized how TOTALLY EMPTY the show would be without him. Miss my Mulder. (Think this past week's drop in ratings show others are experiencing Mulder withdrawals as well.) Such a same my absolute favorite show took such a turn south. "Mulder! Mulder! Where are you?!" Please hurry back and save us all! |

| Your Comments: | The writing this season is really bad, IMHO. What really upsets me is the banal treatment of Mulder's character - he's abducted, Scully isn't searching for him, Doggett isn't searching for him. What seems to be evident though is a total disregard for Mulder's past accomplishments. Mulder's "source" was mentioned in Roadrunners 11/26/00 as someone that Doggett knows. Yet another example of throwing water in the faces of Mulder fans worldwide. Never in my wildest dreams would I think how venal and meanspirited CC and his writers could become. ADBB Donnaj |

| Your Comments: | Scully may have forgotten about her touchstone, but we certainly haven't, and have no intention of it. Mulder deserves dignity and respect upon his return -- dignity and respect he didn't get in the season premiere, I might add -- and in the event of his departure deserves a graceful exit, should there even be one to consider. My only hope is that TPTB remember Scully's touchstone before it's too late. The show has already dipped into the nasty area of mediocre, which is so sad to watch after watching it achieve excellence; I would have thought those behind the show would want to keep it at the level of excellence, but they consistently prove me wrong. Here's hoping they cease proving me wrong at the critical moment of Mulder's return! |

| Your Comments: | I have been a fan (shipper) of the Xfiles since the series premiere. I believe the heart and soul of the show is Mulder first and then Scully...the partnership together,from start and should be to the the end. Let's not forget the show for seven years was about Mulder's quest and passion...which in shippers opinions transended into the quest, preservasion of Scully. I am devestated the show did not end season 7...I can't believe those are my feeling now, but only because season 8 is horrible without Mulder. It is horrible how the characters are changing and how Mulder is being forgotten about. He has gone to the ends of the earth for Scully, welcomed death when he was without her and I don't particually see her as devestated by Mulder's abduction. What is going on with C.C. and FOX network...killing what was a spectacular show...instead of going out with a bang, I see it going out with a whimper. :-( |

By the way, the idea of having a season 9 is a bad, bad idea! Having a Mulderless X-Files is like our planet without air! Down with Doggett! Mulder forever! |

What's with this? Mulder is the prime character, they take his name out of the beginning, now whats that all about?! I mean hes STILL in the show and they dont give him proper credit.. and they replace him with this Doggett guy, whos NOTHING like Mulder. this wasnt how it was supposed to end! As someone else said in this before, Scully knew that Mulder went everywhere to find her when she was missing, and what is she doing? She isnt doing much to find him. Scully: KEEP ON SEARCHING! dont give UP! Mulder is your touchstone, and dont let that fall behind you also, he is your light, your soul.. your his 1 in 5 billion.. you know that he would never give up on you.. Also im taking some banners off this, (not the flash by the by) check out my site, www.angelfire.com/biz6/gemmy/ i swear im going to cry my eyes out when he leaves..... |

| Your Comments: | To be honest, You can't really have X-Files without Mulder, as he is essentially the core of it. He's the believer. Scully may have seen so much that can't be explained, but that doesn't necessarily means that she believes. Besides, you can't go for 7 seasons without believing than become a believer. Also, what good is a show if there are two skeptics? Where's the fun in that? I watched last week's show that was Mulder-less and it was BORING. This is one guy who's given up. |

| Your Comments: | I was dismayed that Mulder was not just absent from the third show of the season, but at least it was to be expected. Everyone who has watched the show for as long as I have knows that 'continuity' is not in Chris Carter's lexicon. But what really disturbed me, what really angered me, is that Scully has now been replaced by a wimpering, weakwilled, jelly spined *thing* that in no way resembles the Dana Katherine Scully who marched into the basement office over seven years ago and calmly extended her hand in introduction. I doubt the 'new Scully' could have fought her way out of a paperbag, much less through the rigors of medical school, a pathology residency AND the FBI academy. If you guys think pregnancy turns you into a whimpering mass, you have not been around ME when I'm pregnant! Pregnant women become TIGERS, you idiots! It's the men around them who cower! So, in addition to losing a decent leading man, we've now lost a strong leading lady. It just keeps getting worse and worse. But then, so do the ratings. Gee, wonder if there's a connection? |

| Your Comments: | Yes, Mulder and Scully built the show together, and it is sacrilegious to have Doggett as Scully's partner! Even though I have been a die-hard fan for several years, Doggett will never "grow on me." I don't care how rooted in reality he is, or how 'masculine' he is; the only thing that concerns me is HE'S NOT MULDER AND CAN NEVER TAKE HIS PLACE. I think season 9 is a bad, bad idea. A Mulderless X-Files is like..our planet without air. There shouldn't have even been a Season 8. Without season 8, there would have been no need for Doggett, or any related problems. We all knew that the show would have to end sooner or later, but it could have been done TACTFULLY! Down with Doggett! Mulder forever!!! |

| Your Comments: | I think they shouldn't have taken out DD/Mulder from the opening credits, that was really a big mistake. This can only prove they're trying to get rid of the character, but we all know this is just nonsense, and they should be wise and make amends before it's too late. IMHO they should have ended the show a long time ago. They could still invent any other show related to this topic, even dealing with Dogget's investigations and so on, but they shouldn't use "The X-Files" as a name for this hypothetical series. The X-Files would never be the same without DD/Mulder, no matter what's official or not, 'cause this is all about us viewers. We, the X-Philes, have the real power here, and if they don't change their minds there will be an unavoidable shipwreck hanging on the stars (cute words, aren't they? not mine, unfortunately :-) ). That's all I wanted to say for now. Let's still hope for some sense out there... Love. Inma. |

| Your Comments: | "Patience", had to have been the worst episode of the X-Files I've ever seen. It wasn't so much the storyline as it was the way Chris Carter and Co. handled the transition. I could have handled the transition from a Mulder-centred episode to an ordinary X-File, but the things they did were completely unforgivable. First, to remove his name from the opening credits...what the hell was that about??? He's still a major charecter of the show and will be in upcoming episode, so I found this to be completely unnecessary. Then, for Scully to put his nameplate away...I don't even know where to begin with how wrong that is. Put simply and shortly, that was the most disrespectful thing she could have possibly done. When she was missing, he searched high and low for her, yet hear she is, a mere few weeks after he's gone missing and already she does something like this. Okay, I better stop now. I'm just going to end by saying that there are so many better ways they could have handled this with more respect for David, Mulder and the fans who've watched for so many years and that there is no way in hell I'm going to watch another Mulder-free episode |

| Your Comments: | Since Mulder's departure, the show seems to have lost some interest for me. I have been watching the show since I was eleven years old and because of this show, I've been a stronger person. I don't mind Doggett, but it was said he was brought on to help find Mulder, so I believe if this eighth season is about searching for Mulder, then that should be the MAIN focus-- no more x-files unless it relates to Mulder's disappearance. Maybe then, the show could go on strongly. But that's just my opinion. And I also just really miss Mulder (my hero!!!!). |

| Your Comments: | Well, I gave the X-Files their shot this season. I watched Within/Without and they were somewhat decent shows. They were, however, unworthy of the 4 star ratings given by some journalists. I decided to try and give CC and Company another shot, so I began to watch Patience last night. Unfortunately, I regret doing so. I tuned in for about ten seconds and I couldn't do it. The fact that Mulder, the reason I have been committed to this show for the past seven years, was not going to be in this episode made me want to bawl my eyes out. So I changed the channel. My curiosity got the better of me and I switched back, just in time to see that David/Mulder was missing from the opening credits. And on top of it all, I find out this morning that Scully stuck Mulder's nameplate in his desk during the episode. I guess that's one of Mr. Carter's ways of placing Mulder at the forefront. Sure. Fine. Whatever. I want to thank you Mr. Carter, because of this move I will no longer be tempted to make that mistake twice. I'm going back to my original decision, to only view the episodes with Mulder. The fact that I have committed seven years of my life to this show and to see it being degraded in this way . . . well it just leaves me speechless. So much for Mulder being the center of the show this season, if this doesn't prove CC can't be trusted, I don't know what is. I'm disgusted to say the least. |

| Your Comments: | I have been a devoted Mulderist and shipper since the beginning and after watching the episode entitled "Patience", I sincerely hope that when Mulder returns, he and Scully are not a couple. He deserves better than to be put in a drawer. Sorry, CC but the 'out of sight out of mind' mentality might work for Scully, but it doesn't work for the Mulder fans. When Scully was missing, a distrought Mulder wore her cross close to his heart, he sought comfort from another in hopes that pleasure of his body could release the pain in his heart and head, he literally went to the ends of the world to retrieve his partner. What does Scully do? Wears clothes that don't fit, lets someone else stand up for her, rearranges MULDER'S office and puts him nameplate in a DRAWER! This behavior is unacceptable. I have always enjoyed Scully and the way she challenged Mulder, and remained loyal to him.... now I wonder if the Scully that we all knew and loved was abducted along with Mulder. I have lost respect for her and have no intentions of watching the show until Mulder returns. |

I can't believe they would stoop this low, but then again I shouldn't be surprised. There is no respect for Mulder being shown and I can't forgive that. I hope Chris Carter is happy.

| Your Comments: | I have been watching season 8 with an open mind and after seeing the first case featuring the Scully/Dogget partnership, I have come to the conclusion that X-Files is all about chemistry. There is just no chemistry between Gillian and Robert. Without David the show is dry and boring. Gillian is still good, but no offense Robert; you were more exciting playing the robot in T2. Go find yourself a personality. Without Mulder in a full-time capacity, it is best to kill the show quick. Skip the rest of the eps with Robert Patrick and go right to the last 6 with David, let Mulder and Scully live happily ever after and put them and the show to bed forever. |

| Your Comments: | It's all just so sad that I don't quite know what to say. I suppose that CC and company don't really even care ...too bad because I have been with Mulder and Scully since the beginning but it is Mulder who keeps me interested enough to tune in every week. I have never missed and episode (I even watched the Mulderless ones) and somehow I always secretly believed that CC and Co. wouldn't ever really let me down. Sure they would tease me until I nearly died but I really did have trust that Chris Carter cared about the integrity of *the Character* he created and one that was the XFiles, MULDER! Well after watching the complete removal of Mulder (no falling into an eye doesn't count) from the opening credits I have given up. I wish I could really say what is on my mind but I was raised to at least try and behave like a lady, just know that I have no interest in the show at all anymore. You have finally, in your lack of respect for Mulder driven me away. Seven years of constant support and love of the character and you just throw him in a desk drawer like yesterdays sandwich! I hope this season is everything you deserve Chris. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And yes if you sense a hint of tears in this letter they are there in real life, and I am as surprised as you. But then you really did do a great job of making us care for Mulder. Good thing I have my tapes to fall back on when sunday night comes around. julie |

I really think GA should abandon the series now and avoid thus this inminent shipwreck before it's too late... Inma. |

It shows a total lack of respect and integrity towards Mulder. Mulder may be gone for now.....but he is certainly not forgotten. If this does indeed end up being David Duchovny's last season, hence Mulder's last season, if anything...... Mulder should be the "shining light", to pay homage to his character over the last seven year's, NOT PUT INTO THE BACKGROUND and be merely overshadowed by a new member of the cast!!!!! THIS IS DISGUSTING. |

| Your Comments: | What the f*ck is with Mulder's badge being absent from the opening credits? Who authorizes this sh*t?! Carter is such a moron; I do believe I officially hate his guts now. Disgusted |

| Your Comments: | It's a great comfort to read the comments of others who feel as deeply as I do about the significance and appeal of the Mulder-Scully relationship as it relates to the success and lure of the show. It is heartbreaking to have become so emotionally involved and now watch what seems to be happening with the show now... I might have to stop watching soon. What's more, the show without Duchovny as Mulder seems contrived and manipulative, and in general is, quite simply, infinitely less entertaining. I agree- the show is Mulder and Scully. That was special: it worked, and it was historic. What we have now, even at its best, is just another sci-fi show. |

| Your Comments: | First we were told Doggett would not be Scully's partner, he would not be Mulder's replacement. After seeing the first two episodes, we learn that he is indeed getting the X-Files and that he is going to be Scully's partner. We were lied to. Then we all hear that Mulder will be the 'absent center' of this Season, that everything will be about 'the search for Mulder'. And then "Patience" comes and it's a MOTW. And the search for Mulder is forgotten. And his memory is hastly shoved inside a drawer by the one person that should be looking for him. Mulder is not an absent center, he's just absent. We were lied to one more time. And to make everything worse, Mulder's badge is taken out of the opening credits. It doesn't really bug me that David Duchovny's name is not there. What makes me mad is that MULDER is missing from the opening credits of a show that is supposed to be ABOUT HIM and his quest. I was willing to give the new episodes a chance. I was willing to watch because I had hope Mulder would indeed be the 'absent center'. I don't think I'm gonna do it anymore. I'm just sick of being lied to. Of being manipulated. I feel like throwing all my XF memorabilia away, like just trying to forget it ever existed. Here lies The X-Files, dead by the hands of its own creator. May it rest in Peace. Respect for Mulder, that's all we've been asking for. I guess 1013 Productions doesn't know the meaning of that. |

| Your Comments: | This season is already boring the hell out of me, as I expected, without the DD/GA chemistry, but to hear that the credits will NOT include DD is unacceptable. I don't CARE that he is only in about half the eps. The series is ABOUT MULDER (or Mulder and Scully, if you will), and to take him out, for whatever reason, is unacceptable. And they wonder why I won't watch again til DD returns... Thanks, Chris Carter. This sort of sums it all up, doesn't it? It's been real, and at least we have previous seasons we can watch and feel good about... |

| Your Comments: | Although the x files will not be the same without David I can undersatand him wanting to move on. But you can't just forget about him. If he is the father of Sculy's baby how can he just fade away? Its not right. We deserve more and so does he as Mulder and as David. Lets hope that we can finaly get through to people and show them the importance of a series for Mulder and his exit. Think of how much they could do with it, questions answered, chemistry over-load, an emotional exit showing how Scully will cope without him..... its there to be taken advantage of. So here's to the exit Mulder deserves |

| Your Comments: | please, mulder cant go. The x-files wont be the x-files without him. The only reason i watch it is because David Duchovny is in it. Mulder has to stay, please, otherwise i wont watch it if hes not in it. I absolutly love the x-files, i watch it every time its on in england, on regular TV. I am David Duchovny's BIGGEST fan, he cant go, the x-files will be rubbish without him, hes the best actor, ever. Without him your show will be crap, pleeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssse he cant go!!!!! |
