RIP M. Emmet Walsh. We know him of course as (another) Arthur Dales in “The Unnatural” of The X-Files, a last-minute replacement for Darren McGavin — but you might also remember him from Blade Runner. Or even Serpico, or Warren Beatty’s Reds, or more.
Nice interview by Fandom X Archive podcast with plenty of little behind the scenes stories with Chris Waddell, part of the make-up and practical effects team on The X-Files seasons 3-5 (also one of the grey “aliens” in Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space’), as well as on Millennium. As part of Toby Lindala’s team, he is not even credited in the end credits — I wonder how many others “unseen hands” worked on the show(s) but are not properly credited…

This is rare! Long interview with Kristen “Ace of Diamonds Shane” Cloke and Glen “Semper Fi!” Morgan exculsively on “Space: Above and Beyond“, the single-season sci-fi series which was made in-between The X-Files seasons 2 & 4 (hence Morgan & Wong’s absence), has many Ten Thirteen people in the crew (importantly, director Thomas J Wright), is where Kristen & Glen met, and which is not talked about enough. Following “Space”, Morgan & Wong had many actors appear in TXF (Home, The Field Where I Died, Musings of a CSM, Never Again) and Millennium (Dead Letters, Goodbye Charlie, and of course Lara Means throughout s2).

[FRENCH] Podcast suite avec une saison 8 qui décidément ne fait pas l’unanimité! Par rapport à l’accueil de l’époque de la 1re diffusion qui était plutôt mitigé, cette saison a depuis conquis beaucoup de fans, même réhabilitée comme une des meilleures saisons. Je reste encore assez sceptique, je dois reconnaître qu’elle a beaucoup de qualités mais aussi beaucoup de défauts, que ce soit pour la mythologie ou pour les indépendants.

Happy birthday to Dana Katherine Scully, born on February 23, 1964! She has reached the round and respectable age of 60. By now she must have retired from the FBI, after becoming FBI Director! Incredible that her abduction back in season 2 was 30 years ago, which is now just at the mid-point in her life…
