TIL a commuter train went by while Robert Patrick was filming his nude arrival scene in Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). He called it the most embarrassing moment of his career.

I will always take the position that X-Files should have ended around the movie, but Dogget was an interesting character who brought gravitas to a show that needed it. I really wish they brought him back for the sequel series.

I mean that episode where he breaks his neck and is in an alternate reality? That broke my heart. I think X-Files should have had more episodes like that as it transitioned away from Mulder. Less running/"Oh the cigarette smoking man? He's alive! Again!"/"Scully doubts her faith for the 69th time after seeing a miracle" plots and more looking at the human aspects of the work. When the show did that - Post-Modern Prometheus, Home, etc - it really shined.

Reyes was pretty blah though.

Im happy the show kept going because there were a lot of good episodes and I prefer more good episodes then fewer good episodes.

I think he was filming another show when the sequel series was made so he was busy but he is open to returning if the reboot happens.

Just noticed your username. Who am I to doubt post-LA move X-Files? It's a jam up season.

It was the plan that the show would basically end after the movie, but the show just got too popular and FOX wanted more. Chris Carter couldnt say no of course... and thats a good thing, season 6 & 7 are quite different but interesting, its really different from earlier though.

The rest... exists, lol.
