The Bounty Hunter has been a part of X-Files for a long time. This way the actor can still play the role.<P><BR>I'm still trying to figure out how it all comes together. First the killer bees which originally carried small pox, the movie changed it to carrying the DNA of the aliens to transfer it to a human host. The alien grows inside the human, bursts out the chest, a short while later changes from a cool black alien to a Hollywood gray. The grays have the ability to shape-shift. Then there's also the 'Faceless Rebels' that, iirc, kill both the grays and humans.<P>I know there are other facts, but apparently the overall story arc was made up as they went along instead of planning it out beginning to end.<P>------------------<BR>Calvin: "Isn't that weird??
