E!Online posted a rumor that Chris Noth (Mr Big of Sex and the City) is being considered for the role of Scully's new partner next season. Anyone know anything about this?

Tvguide Online (tvguide.com) is reporting that the guy who played the T1000 in Terminator 2 will replace him. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Robert Patrick, in my first list.

Not that I blame Duchovny for leaving, the episodes lately have gotten silly and way off what the X-Files was suppose to be all about. A humor-based episode is okay once and a while, but this last season was nothing but. I've always been interested in the overall plot with Cancer Man's group, the black oil Purity, the stomach bursting aliens which evolve into the Hollywood grays, the shapeshifting clones and bees. That's about it I think. Instead you get comedic or gimmick episodes. Not to say I think that The X-Files should just stick to the list above, not at all. A few of the episodes like "First Person Shooter" I enjoyed.

Hopefully they'll start writing better episodes instead of the lame ones and get the show back on track.

Personally, I think Chris Carter doesn't really know where the X-Files is going (unlike JMS and B5), so I think he's trying to make it so convoluted and messed up as possible so no one notices.

Why do they want a replacement for Mulder? It's obvious he/she/it will suffer from extreme Ezri Dax Syndrome. They'll have to spend so much time on character development (especially since, unlike DS9, they don't have many other characters to focus episodes on), they won't have as much time for real plots. And, if it ends up being the final season, they'll have lost any chance of going out w/ a bang...

As much as I enjoyed T2, I'm kind of disappointed Noth won't be playing Scully's new partner. I thought him a really interesting as detective Logan back on Law & Order, oh well.

Haha.

I don't get to watch X-Files much anymore, so it doesn't bother me as much, but my girlfriend does, and she was pissed Mulder wouldn't be around.

Before the news came out about Robert Patrick joining The X-Files, E!Online had posted a rumor that Chris Noth (Mr Big of HBO's Sex and the City) was possibly being considered as Scully's new partner. Anyone hear anything about this?

You know, I've thought that the comedy episodes (Dreamland and so on) are what the X-Files do best. The monstor of the week ones have gotten same,y and the conspiracy ones are now so annoying that they could win an award for being annoying at an obtuse and annoying contest.

You watch one and go "ooh look, plot development!". Then you watch them 4 months later and say "Hang on, nothing's changed at all. Carter's been treading water now for 5 years."

And First Person Shooter was AWFUL. The biggest load of tripe I've seen since I had tripe for dinner a few months ago. Awful. Bad. Appalling. Don't watch it. Ever.

You didn't like "first person shooter" ?
I loved that episode, though it still wasn't as good as last year's area 51 exchanged identity episode, you know, the one w/ Michael McKean, now that was funny.

I thought it was great how his character showed up again in "Three of a Kind" - you know the Lone Gunmen episode with the ditsy Scully.

I was using it as an example of the off-base episodes. I do like the episode, I think it'd be cool to have a game like that, without the killer digital babe.

True the story hasn't progressed a whole lot in 7 years. But it's still what I watch X-Files. Those monster-of-the-week ones are what I consider lame when that's all there is lately, one silly episode after another. X-Files was suppose to be a drama, not a comedy.

I like the fact that The X-Files can do so many different kinds of episodes.
